TSiWRX Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Anyway, I flashed stage 2 and did a couple of runs.....holy crap!!!! I pulled off the highway and when I turned and punched it in first the whole car broke loose and spun all 4 wheels sideways. The road was damp, but I NEVER experienced that kind of power in this car. It pulls 5k to 6500 VERY hard. I'm very impressed.

GTTuner Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Check your tire pressures, bro! (quote) 33 psi front, 30 psi back. What are you thinking?? The road was damp, I hardly think it would do it on a dry road.....but it still is an impressive difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 ^ Yikes! Why so low?

mbacis Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Did the DP Friday night. The two top bolts holding the flange to the turbo were missing the nuts. Only the heat shield was stopping them from falling out!!! Amazingly it didn't leak. Anyway, I flashed stage 2 and did a couple of runs.....holy crap!!!!

Congrats on getting it done. I installed my Crucial UP, gutted the DP, and flashed my TDC map on Saturday. Started around 9am and finished up at about 2:30pm. Haven't had any leaks yet (fingers crossed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Congrats on stage 2!! What did U flash, Cobb 93 ? Never mind, me bad.....I just saw your TDC welcome. So, how is it? Does it scream or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbacis Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I gotta say, I was hoping for more. It certainly is faster, especially pulling from higher speeds, but I really had higher expectations. I think I keep doing this to myself though; first with SS brake lines, then with new wheels and tires, Stage 1, and now Stage 2. Nothing has been as dramatic as I was expecting given what I had read. I think my sensitivity to these things is just really low. It would be interesting to drive a stock LGT and feel the difference. I was expecting more turbo/exhaust noise with the elimination of 2 cats as well. Doesn't sound any different to me. I'm eagerly awaiting cooler weather though, as I can already notice quite a bit more power on the cooler nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Oh crap, your out in Cali.....you only have monkey piss 91 octane out there? Plus the heat would kill any big gains. That's disappointing to hear. Sometimes you get used to how quick your car/truck/bike is. Kind of like a woman. The first hundred times u get laid she's a queen. After that she's the ugly fat chick nobody wants:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner, Yeah, crap gas and hot weather = no bueno. Add SoCal traffic to that list and it's almost not worth having a fast car. Yeah right!
