Re: All or Nothing: My 3L Turbo Install


I was going to buy an LM-1 before my motor swap, but I was told by a reputable source on here that I didn't need it. I was under the impression that it was essential for a dyno tune, which I'm not getting (yet). Isn't the Xcal a much better tuning device? It costs twice as much!

Re: All or Nothing: My 3L Turbo Install
the xcal 2 is for the data logging but the wideband only complements the xcal2. gives a better read on what the af is at . the xcal2 has a input for datalogging from a wideband. i found that out when aaron was tuning my car and we found out about the secondaries. the lm-1 or the autometer c2 af gauge is on my list too buy this deployment.

The wideband does full throttle reading or anything above 3800rpms where the stock O2's are in open loop. The xcal2 is needed to tweak the full throttle runs on NA and needed period when you are boosting.

Re: All or Nothing: My 3L Turbo Install
Today was my birthday, and what a great day it turned out to be! My car passed emissions and my registration got renewed just before the deadline tonight. Tom got me another tune, and it's the best one yet! The car pulled strong today! Next week I install my gauge-pod pillar, A/F gauge, boost gauge, and wide-band oxygen sensor.

Gary that is wonderful news I am thrilled you were able to get into the boost and more than ever pass the emissions wow. So the tune must be running nice a clean to do pass emissions. Gary I can't wait to see some videos of your car too. Hey Gary the 90 degree elbow worked out good? Hope it arrived before that weekend. Joey

Re: All or Nothing: My 3L Turbo Install
this miht be an odd question, but since youre running the 3L UIM when you blip the throttle does the UIM "grow" with all the air getting forced in there. only reason i ask is cause my 05 UIM grows a lot under NA conditions.

I know they are different UIMs all together but since the new one flows more as far as i can tell its worth the look

now that youre getting into boost how useable is the car?
