Farkas Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Mail order tunes are pretty generic, but work OK. It won't be anything special, and definitely won't be a dyno tune, but he's not going to blow the thing up lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Man I hate torque steer. Never again for me. Had a GTI 1.8t and it was not terrible but noticeable and it was slow. Got a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 which redefined torque steer for me. First time I punched it I thought I broke something as the steering wheel tried to detach my hands and it headed for the ditch...then the middle lane. I was like WTF? Ohhhhh so that is torque steer. try it with a tune and no boost limits in the first two gears fun for what it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 The car is tuned now Holy, it is really impressive in 3rd and above gears. The tranny has a weird shifting from 1st to 2nd but that is from not putting in enough fluid when I changed the tranny fluid. No dipstick so I measured what came out and put the same in. I suspect it's about .5 quart low so I'm adding a bit at a time until it shifts properly. But the tune, wow, the brakes are getting overwhelmed from trying to slow the car down after acceleration I'm happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRD2BDF Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Me too. I'm also looking into an intercooler as well to replace the stock intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'd say you skip the intercooler and prep those brakes correctly for your 400tq barge. It'll need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
