It has a very smart ecu and you will need Edit to fix it. You don't want to be manually upping the boost without changes to fuel and ignition anyway.

It only uses more fuel when you want it to - if that is your concern. Otherwise, I can't see the point of not having all she's got at any time. I actually do have an EBC with one setting only - the full one. Edited 21/06/07 06:47 AM by F6 RAPID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I use it as power control, it gets hard to drive with so much power.I also cant use my full tune as my clutch wont hold it, I have an option 3 going in real soon seems after 12 psi I get slippage.

My afr's on my std tune only went down to mid 13's at wot due to a dirty filter. 3K is overkill but leaving it to 50K is criminal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
