HEMTODD Member 14 Member For: 20y 3m 17d Gender: Male Location: Bathurst Posted 30/05/06 11:05 AM Posted 30/05/06 11:05 AM Hi, just signed on to this site cos today I installed my flash tuner.I have a XR6 T ute.No other mods except 18 inch mags.I have been reading some older reports on this site about peoples experiences and they got me quite excited. But after installing 8psi tune I felt a little let down,sure I could feel a bit extra and could hear the turbo whining,but I was expecting to be blown away after hearing other peoples first experiences.I live out in the country so I was able to give it a good squirt. It felt like it was pulling harder but when I caned it up the hill outside my place it still only got to 140kph, same as it always has. I also thought it may break loose(smoke up) when I floored it from a standstill,but NAH! Was I expecting too much? Or is this how it should go on 8psi? I wanted to try the 10psi tune but am only running 95 octane fuel,could this do any damage or be part of the problem? any help would be appreciated.

Sorry its such a negative start.When you say 140ks, I take it you mean you were doin 140k at the same point up the hill as you normally would before the flash. Edited 30/05/06 11:13 AM by SHOCKXR6T

If the extra 40 - 50rwkw doesn't impress you nothing will. Oh and get to the dyno and make sure all is well with AFR's or better still get a custom tune while you there.
