Thanks. It may get close to 2016 before I get used to writing 2015

Sorry I've been posting a lot but I have yet another question to all the owners. About 75% of the time I feel this overwhelming sensation of torque and power and I'm like VROOM VROOM baby when I initate the ESC in just about any gear. But there are other times when I start the spool and I'm like eh that's not what I remember and almost question if it spooled correctly. I know there can be hundreds of factors (elevation, weight, battery warmup) but it is seemingly random to me. One trip I'll have a blast and the next day I'll be confused. Could be placebo or it raising my expectations each time I drive it but just wanted to hear other's thoughts.

I have mapped the boost and it goes anywhere from 3.7 up to like 4.7. Haven't looked carefully at it yet.

I had a similar issue. Kept thinking something was wrong with the esc, but data logs seemed to be ok. I think a lot of it has to do with external variables such as temperature and humidity. Also, at what rpm you engage the esc in.

Well I just installed my version 1 kit, but with the updated batteries (Odyssey 680). So please add my name to the list, and let me know if you need anything else from me.


Thank you sir.

For the people without a tune, how does it compare?
I would love one of these, but I'm not willing to void warranty

Now I don't even notice the difference. Of course I've been running it a long time. It's my expectation of the car now for it to go vroom vroom.

Almost nobody runs this without a tune because
A. More power, better reliability, safer.
B. Without a tune you'll throw a CEL
C. The majority of us run OpenFlashTablet tunes which allow for you to flash any ROM (including your stock ROM) back to the ECU at anytime in about 5 minutes. Other tuning options are available.

Great! Add your set up to the spreadsheet when you have it installed: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...Hic/edit#gid=0

No issue with warrantee, just remove and reload stock tune as Daemano said.

It's a surprisingly simple job, 30 - 40 mins tops (if you remove everything) then the same to reinstall after service.

I know the battery upgrade won't void your warranty but are you guys swapping to stock battery too?

I am, just to be sure. Occasionally put it on the charger so it stays alive.

I purchased the kit from DriftHappens. Grabbing OFT and UEL before install. Looking forward to getting this on the road!
