no cat. the DC sport DP comes with a built in test pipe

 

When you say tune? is it the reflash? for 400 bucks? or the custom tune one? because i have a turbo back... and im looking to get the same numbers you have... i dont wanna change anything but the tune

 

no i dont think so

 

dyno tune. you'll have to do it in person. having looked at many reviews now, that is the only way i would do i vishnu tune. on the dyno, shiv is, many years later, still the standard for output and quality. but for mail-in or email, vishnu is absolutely not the way to go.

four months later, i would go the exact same route. i've been very happy with the car's output and quality of power delivery under many conditions.

 

Sick Numbers......Congrats!!! I'm jealous of those IX's but I love my VIII!!

 

Great numbers. I've seen Shiv in action, he is absolutely amazing!

 

Did you log your car with Evoscan since getting it tuned?

 

i posted an update on the first page. i'm gonna go ahead and "19'd" myself and not edit any of the posts that pertain to the original tune. i just think that this is a good lesson for myself. there is a lot of value in a tuner that will answer all of the noob/ annoying questions that new guys ask. but that doesn't mean just fire away with all the questions that come off the top of your head - do the due diligence, research, and arrive at the tuner at least conversant about basic aspects of tuning, and ensure that you come away confident about your equipment because you have hard data to back it up.

 

as you can tell from the update, i sure wish i had.

 

25 knock sums thats crazy.
did you do any thing different to the car after the tune with shiv?

 

yes, replaced the ebay exhaust with a perrin. perrin DP, perrin HFC stayed the same, perrin CBE.

 

wow iam sorry to hear that i was on the same boat as you got an xede used the basemaps from there site and when i bought evoscan saw that passing 5500rpms the knock sums went as high as 15-18KS i got help from evom members to on retuning my xede and i got the knock sums down to 1-2 but never made good power with it know i changed to a flash from mellontuning.com and my car is so much smoother to drive and actually makes more power.
i regret that i drove my car for 12,000miles with the xede maps and those high knock counts
thats a thing of the past and be glad that you fixed your car.
how many miles did you drive like this?

 

a little under 4k including track days and a handful of autox.

 

Do you remember the PM's I sent you about my Vishnu mail-in tune having huge knocksums?

 

yeah brotha - i just figured it wouldn't happen to me since it was dyno tuned.
