Pre-tune: 128kW at the wheels

Due to some slight difficulties (we didn't have the right bypass plug and we didn't want to take the chance of shorting the wrong connector) we couldn't tune - so we set the groundwork for a tune on Saturday.

Pre-tune, 128.5kW in 4th gear, 131.2kW in 3rd gear.

Did you know 4th gear goes to 240km/h?? We almost fried the transmission fluid, haha. No wonder it's dyno'd in third for autos!

Front/rear bias is approx. 70/30 contrary to popular belief, says the dyno - managed to get it to 49/51 at the end of our ramp though.

what do you mean wrong plug????

you plug into the obd with what ever software your using and plug the two green connectors together which are in the car from factory to open the ECU

Don't you need a bypass for one? i.e. not in diagnostic mode, you bridge one side of the connectors?

Just took mine to Chiptorque today, posted a 131.1- resonatorectomy and a couple of no name muffs- 4th gear manual. Considering mine is supposed to be more powerful stock, I'd call yours a solid result Clarence! :D

Also depends on dyno though, I mean, the numbers I got are nothing to brag about to dyno queens (all my focus is on low-midrange) but it feels a lot nicer to drive :)
