I thought it went well but it was abit laggy and felt a tad sluggish from 4500rpm onwards.. after I disconnected the intake runner it has better response and also when it climbs to 4500rpm it has a new lease on life and you can feel the diff tramping due to wheelspin. I love it. also my tuner couldnt get a glitch out of my tune being my car would throw on an engine light and stall if you get on the gas for a bit, and then get off it after about 5 seconds of engine braking it would stall but only coming down from high revs... but this has also eliminated that problem,,, it ran 13.8 but now im keen to get it back down there.

I'd love to see the process and get some ideas for going from N/A to forced induction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
