It was tuned 8 months ago and still runs as good as the day it was tuned. Also counted how many cranks it takes to start and 3 was all it needed.

Yes it produces good power with a good tune and yes I was a phonecall away from booking mine in to get done,but after driving a 430kw E85 tuned car,its not for me. Yes the power and response is bloody great,but that's not what its all about to everyone. Dont know what sought of E85 or Eflex everybody is running,but this car stinks when driving with the window down. So summer days with the Fam in the car are going to end up with complaints about the smell for me. Maybe a E85 tune for the drags and 98 for everyday,but couldnt drive on it everyday. So along with the cracking hoses,the diluting of the engine oil,the excessive condensation,the "possible" hidden effects on engines and fuel systems,the longer cold starts and the stink...it can stay in the bowsers and not in my car. Power isnt everything to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 16y 10m 25d Posted 18/06/12 11:12 AM Share Posted 18/06/12 11:12 AM Yep,that's exactly right. Power can come with some disadvantages. Just how much the driver/owner is willing to except,comes down to personal preference. The car still did a 10.4,so power wise,its an animal.

I know, I know!!) the car flutters with a stab of revs on the spot in the manual. Fully sik bro!! I notice it makes boost sh*t loads sooner and easier too..seems like ya running a slightly smaller turbo but not at all at the same time :-/. I don't reckon it smells that bad.Pros outweigh the cons IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
