Once you have the right tune, you'll be good to go. EcuTek won't let you flash a mismatched tune onto your ECU; every tune is specific to your EcuTek license and ECU.

Alright, it's because I bought the kit used, so I didn't get it specific to the 2015. Thanks, Mike.

How much hp increase does it provide?

It increases the slope of the boost curve, and gives approximately a 10% increase absolute. Depending on conditions and your other supporting, you will generally see a 2-4 psi increase.

Even with 93 octane, you will be pushing the bleeding edge of knock threshold. E85 or 100 octane is highly recommended to reduce cylinder pressures and potential for knock.

We're not sure, since we never tested the pulley by itself only, only with supporting mods (Tomei header, joint pipe, front pipe). Compared to customer cars with the exact same supporting mods, but without the smaller pulley, there was a 25hp difference. This is with the same tuner, same dyno, and both on stock injectors and pump. However, the smaller pulley WILL NOT be able to redline on 91 octane; you'll need to cut the redline short. The 25hp difference was with 93.25 octane on the CSG car, vs 91 octane on the customer cars. The hp gap increases as fuel quality increases.

If there an intermediate pulley?

So you are recommending a full tank of 100 octane while on the track?

How aggressive is the tune you run? Did you dial it back 10-20 hp for the track or is it to the max?

We recommend at least a mix of 100, even for guys with completely stock engines.

The numbers are from a track tune, not a dyno queen. I'd imagine we can squeeze out quite a bit more if we wanted to see how high we could push the number without blowing up the engine. Tunes were performed with a fully heat soaked engine, not a fully cooled engine with a few minutes in between each pull. This isn't how most people will do it, but this is what we need, and is how we have it done.

By the way anyone that hasn't checked out crazy sideways Mikes Youtube videos you should!

Mike how are the Tomei products?

Solid! Our Tomei stuff has been being abused for a while now without issue or any leaks.

[Xerious]

I second that. My setup has been solid.

So what about the upgraded blower? When our engines blow and we upgrade to something stronger, is there upgradeable parts to use the bigger blower?

The better question is, why would your engine fail with the CARB tune?
