Thanks for the tune yesterday, Ed! It was an awesome experience. Didn't ever think that getting a tune can be so interactive. And thanks for fitting me in for the fuel pump install and spending more hours tuning it afterwards. The tune, service, and experience was worth every penny!

In case you didn't see your email, can you also send me the data logs and let me know what the final target boost was?

EQ FTW!!

I doubt you need a big MAF for a 20g. Could be wrong though.

Well if you have an FMIC, only certain cold air intakes will work based on your piping.

Up to you really. If you had FMIC ideally you would go blowthrough and then just custom pipe the cold air, since besides all the tunning benefits you also have the advantage that if you blow the piping off, your car won't stall since the MAF won't get disconnected (unless you blow the piping at the throttle body). Call EQtuning at the shop and see what he thinks.

I think you'll be fine with your current setup, but it's really up to the tune to decide whether your stock maf is maxing out. If that's the case you will need to trick it with a 'big maf'.

The cold air is a good idea if you want the intake air temps to read lower, and it will also help the ultra sensitive maf read airflow correctly. My unboxed sri gets the maf confused if I drive into the wind lol.

We found that his dinky little exhaust was a huge bottleneck with the larger turbo . The car made almost 280whp at 14.5psi but we couldn't get it above about 310whp no matter what we threw at it. Upon later inspection, we found that his muffler is baffled and there's a custom section in the cat-back that necks down smaller than 2.5". It seems this exhaust flows very well up to around 300-310whp but doesn't want to handle anything more. Next week we're going to do some testing with a very free flowing exhaust to verify that this is indeed the major restriction.
