jc20b Member 33 Member For: 16y 6m 23d Posted 29/10/08 06:34 AM Share Posted 29/10/08 06:34 AM Hey,Ok I want to run a aftermarket Piggy back system or whatever works on these things though dont want to go to a workshop every time I need to play with something.I run a microtech lt12 on my 20b tripple rotor and that's sweet you can upload maps whenever tweak for driving conditions etc etc.So what computer can I get for the xr6turbo that can have maps uploaded and changed around and tweaked etc? With a laptop dont want to buy a hand controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a full tune you will have to go to a workshop or tuner, but the Flash 2 allows you to fine tune things like Air/Fuel, timing and boost I believe.

Unichip can do that I think, but there can be issues and you need a loom adapter. Plus the range of tuning ability is smaller with the Unichip - like most piggy-backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc20b Member 33 Member For: 16y 6m 23d Posted 29/10/08 07:09 AM Author Share Posted 29/10/08 07:09 AM I guess they have set it up like this to keep tuners in a job. Though theres nothing better than tuning your own car + I want to rune85 so it will need a bit of playing around with timing etc to get it smoking past all the 98 octane farm haters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
