What Else To Do?

imo, after seeing how the vcm program works, that sct is still a slightly superior product.

advantage(sct) has more control of more parameters than vcm.

though if your tuner is comfortable tuning with it then go for it.

dont forget that you will be stuck with that tune, and that tune only, 24/7.

no ability to chop and change between tunes should a certain situation arise, ie, bad fuel, no valet tune if your getting your tyres done somewhere.

and also, you car may start begin to ping at some stage, and you wont have to ability to rectify this until you see your tuner next, whereas with the flash tuner, you could pull over or change your tune whenever and wherever you like.

and with those mods, imo, I reckon that you might just scrape in with 375rwkw safely.

I wouldnt want much more than what you've got now, because any increase in power will just be wheelspin on the street and you wont be able to use it, unless your building a dyno queen, then by all means, go for it!!!

but then again, your going to be stuck with whatever power figure you happen to achieve after a retune with vcm.

good luck man!!!!

how often does that happen though, iv had my mods for a year and not once have I needed to change tunes

[typhoon_freak]

well the main purpose is not to smash it around the streets, I really just want to get to 400.. its a goal for me and I hope to get there

[The_Bogan]

I chop and change tunes quite a bit. between my daily drive tune and my drag tune mostly.

the only time I have used my poo tune was when I was running my new gearbox in and when I sent the gearbox and car away to get retuned.

and good luck with trying to get to 400rwkw!!!

You could always fit an E-Boost so you can turn the boost down when you are just driving around the streets, then with a quick flick you are back up to max power.

hmm interesting.. I will look into them... are they incabin control?

and thanks The_bogan.

Check this out mate: E-Boost2

BOth Rapid and ETM are Turbosmart dealers too, so they can get you a good deal

[typhoon_freak]

I thought our cars had trouble running eboost and other programs as such to do with the controll of boost

[senna_T]

Nah, there are a few guys that are running it for staged boost in lower gears. CV have been using them for a while to great success. You can set it so you run lower boost in say 1st and 2nd gear, then full boost in all higher gears. You can also use it bleed off boost so your single tune isn't frying tyres when you just want to overtake someone quickly

what about an underdrive belt? good or not?
