Some people like myself ... always want to squeeze a little more out of their vehicle. I understand it will never be perfect and this is probably why factory tuning is so conservative.
I am happy to report that I did get a call from aFe's VP and one of there technical developers. We had a...
Very well said! At the end of the day ... nothing beats OEM setup for its range of applications and longevity. Once you start messing with things, including a proper tuned vehicle you are diminishing one category or another.
I'm reading up on the VFTuner and will most likely make the switch...
Not yet, want to pick up a second hand unit?
The reason why I didn't want to go with VFTuner is to have a flash count. I have other cars that I flashed within a year but just was hesitant with the truck.
Aggressive as in daily heavy foot driving and high speed highway use with the boost...
I came very close to unplugging it one day and gave aFe the extra benefit of doubt that they will come up with a resolution quickly ... These are just cut and paste products. I'm not sure why they can't just release the dyno numbers on the Sport and Sport+ modes.
The intake and turbo inlet...
You are correct. It always falls back on "You get what you pay for". I was very skeptical about it at first but I guess I am comparing this also to a $3k proper tune on my other cars. The parameters taking into account for adding power will not be the same by just using a Map and TMap sensor...
Hey everyone! Some of you may have seen my posts and videos on the aFe POWER products I have. It's been an ongoing and frustrating experience to say the least. Here is a video that sums up everything. Still waiting for a response back ...
I made an update video for the check engine light I was getting due to the turbo inlet. aFe finally came up with a solution for it. The worst part was having the truck report the check engine light to the dealer and have them call you to schedule an appointment. I just told them everything...
Thanks. So far no issues. It’s been 2 months already. The truck isn’t daily driven but does longer trips mostly so the battery should be recharging well.
Very nice work. I'll be using this as a guide to add a sub myself. A few questions for you...
Why did you use such a complex line converter? What settings do you have on the LC1 and what about the gain?
Did you try using the auto turn on based on signal instead of running a remote?
Could we...
Definite improvement on performance. I keep it in the Sport+ mode and the boost kicks in nicely. Race mode seems like it's going to break your transmission instantly, it's too much additional torque. With the intake inlet pipe the turbo noise sounds better than my M3!
Oh man that’s nice. I need to get some volks to match also! I don’t like the truck version of the G025s. I don’t even have a picture of the 2 next to each other yet!
Link doesn't seem to be working. Do these kits offer extra material to tuck the edges? If not, it would be a hard no for me. I always wanted to try doing it myself but there's not time to learn on a brand new car when you just want to get it done and be able to drive it. This would be good...
