But now im hoping he understood my question.. anywho I do have a flash box sitting here but I just wanted to avoid tuning it for as long as possible as well it hasn't evan got 5000km on it yet. and as soon as it tis tuned bye bye warranty.Tristan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as it's fitted you mean!Hey it would be great if you could post a review after you fit and tune as I'm sure like me, there are quite a few of us interested in that setup. I'm planning to get the 800 IC, plenum and maybe piping too(night go custom) in the next couple of months. When I do, I'll definitely post results.As always, plazmaman products look awesome, by far the neatest finished I've seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were changing just the cooler to say a wog cooler and stock piping I'd say go for it, but you're removing all the restrictions, so overboost city here you come... I'd hate for your near new F6 blowing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate for your near new F6 blowing somethingnot sure bout the plenum but I purchased the PW stage 2 cooler kit + CAI n have fitted it on without a tune. (still running stock factory tune) nizpro did the installation knowing that id be only runing stock tune n they said it was fine. have been running it this way for a while now without any problems. I will be tuning it once my flash box arrives though !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plazmaman Member 43 Member For: 18y 6m 3d Posted 14/01/08 01:44 AM Share Posted 14/01/08 01:44 AM (edited) One of our test vehicles runs this full kit with a std exhaust . This std exhaust system does not allow the car to boost over 6-7 psi . Although it breathes better , the std exhaust is a restriction. As long as it does not hit boost cut , there is no problem with our vehicle . We checked the mixtures as well , although they were safe , they can be cleaned up a bit through out the rev range , and timing added to take full advantage of the Plazmaman system . But........ We highly recommend that you tune your vehicle to suit the new kit . This will allow for maximum gains and safety . This will be the only thing that will make you confident to give it a boot full . We being a manufacturer , test all our kits in every situation and setup type , so as to gain data and further develop our product . A tune will clean up the bottom end drivabiltiy and top end power output . It is safe to drive to and from a tune shop.
