Default MRC Motorsports tune Mike from Long Islands APS TT..

We recently completed a simple APS TT kit install on a stock motor for Mike from Long Island NY, who purchased the kit and came to us for install and tune. Everything went smooth as usual, and in the end Mike was given a nice reliable, and respectfully fast street car...The car sounds very tame and yet makes some decent power, nice and smooth and consistant, just like it came from the factory that way..

Here is the before and after dyno...The car was a 2006 rev up and required our custome Sterring knucke modification to fit..

Would love to hear more about the custom steering knuckle mod... Looks like a nice solid tune and good power for an otherwise stock car, presumably. At this power level and with that tune, I'm sure it'll be very reliable and a decent performer. Congrats to the owner and MRC!

We simply modify the stock steering knuckle to fit and weld it back together so it clears the turbo.

Mike is not on these boards. He was advised of all of the wrok we completed prior to releasing the car.The modifications we made were 1000X's more safe than the recomended modifications in APS's instructions.

I have no clue...Perhaps he opted for the most proven and reliable out of the box system to date...The APS TT kit..
