I agree with you. Most cars will benefit from proper ECU tuning to fine tune the fueling and ignition map. Factory programs need to be engineered with a wide variety of drivers/conditions in mind....

Yes, I checked the serial numbers once I got the wheels. It started with 996 xxx xxx xxx (strange that it doesn't start with 986 though). All the markings were also there. The wheels are made by...

I had those on before I swapped them out for a pair of carbon ones I got off ebay. Figured they looked more unique and just a tad sportier.... hopefully :)

Strange.... That's how I did mine, except I just carried them in front of my stomach instead of over my head. Doubt that would've made any difference. My reading was in kilos and I did a conversion...

I'm often told that cat-back mods will normally not affect warranty ie. you can only change your muffler. Changing anything forward of the cat, including the cat itself, is normally frowned upon by...

I'm looking at least slightly (3-6bhp) beyond what I had with just the headers & cats. I don't think that's unreasonable right? With a better calibration to fuel and ignition timing to cater for the...

I gave up navigating the ppbb. The UI is just terrible. Not to mentioned because of the way it's setup, everything before the current month is archived :(

Nope, the person that I liaised with, Mike Myers, was not the least helpful. He said that there's nothing that can be done and there's only the various off-the-shelf program for various stages. No...

Spoke to the person at Evolution Motorsports today. There's a full satisfaction guarantee on the GIAC program. I will just need to send my DME back to them to revert it back to stock and a full...

Yes, from the dyno, it's about 238bhp now. Used to be 239 before the GIAC program but that 1bhp is probably negligible :)

My 'baseline' dyno with Dansk headers is 223bhp if I remember correctly....

I was going to do that but there's really no point. Even if I found that the car is running lean, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't have a program to alter the fuel/ignition map. And I can...

I've very good experience with PIAA ones. I think they should be available in Australia. But expensive as hell. Paid US$70 for a pair.... made in Japan.
