n/a tunes won't be very impressive either. for 800 bucks, that thing better perform - and at this point, it doesn't - at least not 800 bucks worth of performance

 

ok , look at this. for N/A this is good. IMO

i read that, and still not impressed considering you need to spend a grand on the utec + 200-500 for a tune.

A measily 12 hp and what 4-5 lbs of tq????

 

Man... I know.... Everything is a grand now... but in the end to get to 500-600 hp you will need an SSV (or a manifold of your choice) and you will need U-TECH.

 

people look at these HP numbers and have no idea what 300 whp, 400whp or 500 whp feels like. at 450 whp and 480wtq, my car is crazy. I orginally wanted more power when my tuner said he could get me to 500 and then during the tune, he said 450 or so is where I would be. I got in the car aftewords, and all I have to say is the car is a monster - scary fast.

to be honest, you don't need a replacement manifold, or even a spacer to get to 500whp.

think about it though, you would have two grand tied up in a plenum and utec that might get you 15 whp or so. 2 grand is a pretty good chunk to put towards a FI setup that comes with it's own EMS out of box - and you would be talking 170 whp gains (single turbos)

 

Are you on a built motor? If not, like I plan to be, I would get the best EMS money can buy and looks like u-tech is it. I would never try to save a few hundred on EMS and risk thousands on a blown engine.

And back to SSV, I think it's a very good and quality product. I had a Crawford plenum for three weeks and sold it for an SSV. Looks and quality are way better and performance feels the same.

 

I will agree with Zivman. I am running 475 whp and 554 tq to the wheels. I have a stock mainfold.

 

HAHAHAHAHA what would that look like pop the hood and get japanese cartoon char instead of a japanese engine =D
