The raptor kit is a cheaper. Although I believe tuning needs to be done through the cobb accesspoint thingo, and that isn't included in the package.. So that's another $500+? atleast.

Too many choices really when it comes to na 2.5i engines.

All I know is there's gonna be boost going through my motor by the end of the year

Should have accepted my offer of you paying me to take it :p


I have bought the vag-com cable, so i should be able to tune myself via ecuflash?

i am going to play with that while its NA, see what can and cant be changed.

Should be running ok on a standard tune, i'll just add some fuel, and then book at dyno for a few hours to fine tune and make sure AFR's are spot on and no pinging.

I've tuned a few cars in the past using this method and they're still going strong.

If i can access the tuning through this method, which i have seen lots of members have been successful, i'll be working with Raptor to develop a tuning solution for a Pre facelift (pre canbus?) kit.

fingers crossed!!

Super-charged would be much easier to setup
no exhaust manifolds to stuff with
make a bracket to mount it, ad a belt drive and tensioner,
modify the intake
chuck a fuel/ ignition contrller on ita nd bobs your auntie
