Well Bu-Tang and i got the comparisons done today.
Working on editing those video's up and posting them. Bottom end was noticeably different on the 3rd gear roll on. BuTang has headerback SRT exhaust, FA20 intake and Visconti stage 1. |

Lol. Yeah map or maf clamps is what we had to do in the early 90s before there was ecu tuning. Easiest way is what is called a zener diode. It dumps excess voltage and therefore 'clamps' the max reading the ecu sees. My old turbo GLH Omni initially used this before I could tune the ecu. Its cheap .... a couple bucks. When you have a $1600 power adder and tuners want $1200 for a tune and ecutek cable and license.... lol.... well you see the problem.
My 88 stang when we supercharged it back in 1990, we used a mechanical clamp. Basically a series of one way check valves that vented pressure before the map sensor saw pressure, but they allowed vacuum. Lol. It got the job done. Local tuning is not an issue. I could do a basic tune and flash the local guys with my BRZedit for say $100. But the mail order guys the costs go up quite a bit. |

They do?
When did this happen? Why I am I always the last to know these things?

Tell you what hunter, lets see how long this leaf blower lasts and how long it maintains its power. Lets see what this thing has to offer. Ill be waiting for something worth reading.
And yes Toma, I for one have great respect for building and buying things that are logical for cars. Not suicide doors, or a big spoiler on the back when you don't circuit, or ridiculous ideas that people have when it comes to "modding" your vehicle. But i get that not everyone was given the taste of vehicle modding. Sorry people.
