Globaltester Member 22 Member For: 21y 10m 28d Posted 08/03/05 12:42 PM Posted 08/03/05 12:42 PM Got the SCT Edit installed today in Brisbane by PTE in my new Mk2 XR6T 6 Speed. I am running the 8psi tune at the moment, but will attempt to run the 10psi tune tomorrow. As mentioned before on this site, car is relatively stock, except for K & N Filter. The tunes, as I have been told, have been 'revised' recently, to overcome the early bugs encountered. If car plays up on the 10psi tune, I will probably do mods to overcome this. This is what I can gather so far on the 8psi tune.1. Car does not feel much quicker below 3000rpm.2. Car feels a lot more linear above 3000rpm with more urge and induction noise.3. Car seems to run smoother on cruise control, when travelling down hills (use to jerk around prior).4. Car definitely feels more powerful running on 98 octane, compared to 95 octane (big difference).5. Tune was dead easy to install.Will keep you all postedRegards Mick.P.S. If I had to do one exhaust mod only, which would be most beneficial, high flow cat or remove centre muffler (remember, I do not want the car to be loud).

A higher flowing cat gives more power. Removing the center muffler give you more noise

Personally, I never put anything less than 98 RON in the car, even when it was stock.
