Now the tuning fun can begin.

Posted: Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:47 +0000Maybe 10 to 15 ponies, a more useable power band and better throtle response. Fingers crossed. 
Posted: Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:57 +0000Hi ash, i posted a link a while back on a guy using a bi-pipes on an NA 5, he seemed to get good results running 22 degrees timing an low revs reducing to 14 as the revs incresed.

Posted: Tue, 09 Sep 2008 4:37 +0000Hey Ash,
You should be able to just set the ignition timing to 10 degrees, then go out for a driving and do a "store" when you come back, the link will figure out the ignition timing for you. The base NA map is pretty good, its when you put FI on the car that tuning gets tricky (unless you have a wideband O2 sensor of course.. ), the link will be able to use the stock O2 sensor when tuning an NA engine as it'll never get out of the sensors range.

No. Different animal altogether. Your normal O2 sensor is narrowband (so only works between certain parameters), a wideband.. ehh.. doesn't..

MAP = Mass Air Pressure, replaces the AFM signal.
Yes, you will be needing a knock sensor.
Posted: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 11:53 +0000Thanks man....need a BC as well.
Posted: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 11:49 +0000so.. did ya pick up a barebones Link?
I assume its an electronic boost controller you are after yeah?
All this stuff can be bought from FM plus the latest chip update.
Download the manual on their site too and read (then read again.. and again.. and again

Going to be very busy soon....
