ZChip Tuned Evo X +76whp
#17
I really can't give a solid comparison of gas mileage as I still haven't gotten over the newfound power so my foot is in it alot lol. And yes, its very easily removed. 2 plugs and 1 wire. Thats it. If you go the z-chip route I highly recommend having scott at ttp tune it for you rather then just plug and play. Well worth it imo.

Seems Zchip responds well to stock cars. Modded cars seem to be close to maxed out before the chip. This evo x only had a exhaust,test pipe, and intake, Forge MBC, Forge Wastegate. He baselined 316 on TTP's dyno. Zchip improved 36awhp.

Still considerably good though. I wouldnt mind going from 316 to 352awhp.

I definately endorse the zchip and i definately would recommend a tune by Scott. I spent the money getting a custom tune and it was worth the money. It is always good to know when something was tailored for you specifically. My care made 349whp and 333 torque with just a K&N drop in filer, Forge mbc and the zchip. I have no complaints. I dont drag race so testing on a 1/4 mile track is not in the question for me. I will be road racing the care at Homestead or Moroso hopefully in March, so i should be able to put the car to the test fully. I think the gains on a tune are about 20-30whp extra. The best people to ask is TTP.

just kind of curious, is there even a point to add all the supporting mods then?
like if you were making 350whp with the chip would adding a exhaust still yeild the same numbers?
or increase or maybe even go down?

i have the Ams intake right now should i just go back to stock?
also, intercooler or pipes? how are those doing on the chip
and just for further down the road mods, bigger turbo . do i need to get retuned for it or do i need to move on to ecutek or something like that?

There are some intakes however which DO NOT MAKE POWER and instead use BCS trickery to bump boost to 26psi to increase power and torque slightly while remaining at 9-10's AFR.
We will not be recommending any of those intakes.

Interesting results and commentary...
So, really, the best bang for your buck is the Z-CHIP? Why do you even need an MBC with the Z-Chip? Can't you control the boost through the map, or does it not work that way?
Also, do you think getting similar results will be possible with custom tunes using the newly released Cobb AP?
