Lets talk tuning (KiDo Tunes)

[nixwrx]

Yep me too (for a 2005 3.0RB)

So..... Matt, when are you next in Perth?

Interested as well...

[KiDo_Tuning]

Perth is either late October or during November, working out dates soon! Just need permission from the wife!

It's been a while Matt, word has it your 2.5T tunes have come along long way.
I'm quite happy with my current tune, but Bruce mentioned your tunes are now even safer and have more features.

It seems you can easily fulfill my original request of a responsive and reliable daily driver tune, especially since my mechanical issues (maf/inlet leaks/OCV solenoids) are sorted and I now have wideband AFR logged.

What can you tell me about this lowish boost/high torque strategy?

A huge thanks to Matt for doing a tune revision for me tonight.

Boost was backed down to 15psi but the torque is still higher with some playing around with the vacuum tables. It's now running extremely well and pulls harder at even lower revs.

To add to the awesomeness, I now have launch control with 10psi while not moving.......and flat foot shifting.

Also has CEL flash for knock correction, excessively high EGT's and high coolant temp too.

Matt's tunes are shit! :p

Just kidding

Love your work mate

Hopefully in a couple of weeks my car will crack 126-127mph and a 10 second slip to showcase yours (and Garage 88's) work

I am interested Mick, when you do straight line stuff (like above) do you use tiptronic for gears or let the Auto take care of it?

[Robbks]

I'm assuming Matt uses Ignition Cut (rotational??) to achieve this?

[bigBADbenny]

Now imagine that with a screamer pipe

After I got a chance to drive two other cars for two months now, one being a MY06 tbSti, bone stock (but tuned by Pulse racing at 15psi)...

I can't believe how much torque the stock 2.0 car has. I don't remember my 2.5 ever having that much, tuned by matt or by TP. Seriously, everyone always promised me torque but I got none on the 2.5.

And I'm talking Heaven and Earth difference. Both are autos. The stock 2.0 throws me back in my seat while the full TBEd, with turbo inlet pipe, BOV, 3 port and tonnes of other shit 2.5 - is all up top, nothing down the bottom. Asif it's skipping leg day.

If you can somehow get bottom end torque out of this thing - I'll be a believer again

[dr20t]

The torque on the 2.0 in the lib is due to the twin scroll vf38

This allows full boost of 14psi to be reached by 2400rpm which is no joke

But after 4800rpm its dead

Got a tune last night from this mad man, can confirm I'm now in love.


Currently buying a ring and sorting out the proposal.

Absolutely agreed. I would like to point out though - the torque I'm talking about I've also seen from an MSR tuned car on the vf52, which by no means reaches 14psi before 2500rpm. That lib and my 2.0 are a pleasure to drive in the city and/or as a daily.

Would love to see the 2.5 even come close to this on the vf46 before changing turbo or anything else.

Talk to forum member Purdy about his nephews old P tuned VF38 Vs my retune. The 2L LGTs are fantastic cars!

15psi is stock on the 2L as well

Got a KiDo tune last night, completely in love.

More power, more torque, smoother torque deleivery, better fuel economy, more responsive throttle.

A+++ would reccommend getting x-force 2.25" catback Y pipe + TCP Auto quads + KiDo tune.
