I've never dynoed my car, there are no dynos in Roch. and there are no adjustments to make on the mixture except to send the ECU back for a re-reflash. if it was going to blow it would have on day one, I beat the crap out of it and it has skipped a beat.
As far as cold temps, here is the equation ( 10f ( or in your case 2c ) + cold tires + cold pavement = wheel spin in 3rd gear ) I only do it now to scare my buddy.
hope this helps

now, if I read correctly, you are telling me that you are running a TN ST stage one kit with reflashed ECU ONLY ! without any issues ? is it exact ?
do you have any others mods on your car ?
are you happy with your kit ? feedback ?
thank you again !

MIAPLAYA may have gotten 50K out of a reflash and at the same time Alberto got 3K miles with UTEC but the bottom line is that Engine are not the same. Some may last longer and some don't, so you can whine all you want and if you're not willing to go the extra mile to just make sure everything is safe then it is your car and your money.

You can try Forged Performance (Sharif), www.theexperience.com (Performance Motorsports), www.gspec.com (Greg Vogel), or any of the other Turbonetics vendors...

I would buy from GRD. Call Irshad and tell him you want a good deal on the kit

hahah a lot of this question woudl have been answered with 5 minutes of serach time....
UTEC is the best of the ECUs currently out there without being a 5,000$ standalone monster

TN with utec woudl be the way to fo definatly... a good looking kit with excellent reponse and reliability... depending on the tune...
i woudl suggest get TN tunner, 440cc injectors, walbro fuelpump and utec ..

If you are looking for out of box with proper fuel, timing, and boost control with proper a fuel system etc, APS is the way to go. APS comes with a safe out of box tune, but still has the capability to be custom tuned.

Just an FYI A fully decked out Fcon is just over 3 grand. Still, the utec offers great control at a bargain price

WHY woudl you wanna play raising the stock boost with a BCS???
sure...turn i it to 9 psi 10 psi 11 psi and then blow the block
and fUEL return is not needed for 350-415 whp which is about the max on the stock block.
Oil pan spacer is not needed also..just an added enhacement.
THe piping of the turbo kit is perfect of the stock boost levels... piping becomes restrictive after 435 whp which is pushing it on the stock block anyways...so dont bash there the piping is perfect for what it was designed for...
i you are too bias to the aps then dont comment to make this another of the 100000000s threads of aps vs turbonetics

Not to turn up the boost, but to make sure your EMS is seeing boost and has control of boost pressure. IE overboosting problems with the TN setup and maf based reflash
and fUEL return is not needed for 350-415 whp which is about the max on the stock block.
You can run without a fuel return at 100+ hp over stock output if you like on a car built N/A. You may also pick up randoms at a scummy bar and have no problem taking a 6" dip without a rubber
Oil pan spacer is not needed also..just an added enhacement.
Exactly, an added plus that the TN doesn't include

Fine, I will bash it for the way it's routed. melted A/C lines, and basically no room to run larger piping in the future.

TN is bolting a turbo on your car. APS is a true conversion to FI.
