Not starting a pissing match but from my understanding you guys have no experience tuning SD on stock ecu yet and it does work well if you take the time to learn it. I will agree with you that the stock MAF works fine on a person who drives the car everyday as a daily driver but the car has to be tuned properly using Big Maps on bigger turbo setups. We found some of the cars we have tuned having issues due to other shops not adjusting the load columns properly. And why would you sell the AEM ver.2 to someone when there is something out there called Tephra v7, which will pass inspection all day long and save a customer $1300+ ?

Whats wrong with the madd tyte VTA BOV's?

 

he doesnt have inspections
we have tuned over 12 cars on SD and it is worthless
Please do not comment on anything i say

 

Cool. let me know when you get back from it. Youll see what im talking about.

 

Is there a rule saying I can't? Trying to start a discussion to see if there are gains to using an AEM over the stock ecu that I maybe don't know about. Were those 12 SD cars on AEM? I believe justifying a $1300+ purchase to a potential customer on both sides should at least be explained what the benefits are over the stock ecu. Not being sarcastic but from a tuning standpoint I was curious.

I mean Mike@AWD just went 8.9@159mph on the stock ecu. I know Dave@Buschur is a genius on the AEM's and they work very well also. But knowing what we know now is it still necessary for certain applications?

 

play nice, kids.

Edit:

Don't make me pull this car over!

 

****Before you ask... not directed at anyone****

When did SD become worthless ? A ton of people are running it now a days with an improvement shown from MAF to SD, mainly I'd imagine due to opening up the intake track. The driveability on SD when tuned properly is awesome. Even Babi's when i set his up as a guesstimate start point was pretty solid with just the AFRs to dial in. When i came back from Korea, it was suggested to me by a local shop that i needed to run SD as it was the new greatest thing out there. While i'm 100% positive that aside from AEM, we have tuned the most SD Stock ECU cars out this way, in our experience with testing and tuning SD stock ECU cars, the driveability is greatly improved and the power the cars are putting out seem to be equal to or higher than those not running SD.

 

Will do...once the funds are available & class is available close to me I want to take the 102 & advance classes also...

 

Oh well...my car & my $$...how about u go run 9s...silly goose...

 

Yup, everyone is entitled to mod as they see fit. Just sharing our testing input.

 

I got speed density built into my asscrack. and yes it's VTA.

 

Nice. How is your WOT afr's lookin?

 

Not too good, I need some Hi octane Bean gas

 

 

I'd be less concerned with AFRs and moreso with the fact that you are going WO hahaha

But we do have a MiCasita on every corner

 

Take them all bro. Ill send you a link of other clases and certification ive taken. is all worth it... GL
