Well most of you know that i got my interior done, and right before that i talked with my friend Jose with SI and S_AD. and got my ECU tuned by SI and Overbored Throttle Body from Status_. The ECU was also custom tuned for the overbored TB and my other minimal engine mods. I will be dynoing soon. I have the 1.8 m271 engine.

First i would like to say this,once i installed the mods, and drove it to the interior place, it made me fall more in love with my car. I also past through a street with a lot of shops and constant people walking. hahaha i always get stared @ and given thumbs up driving through and kids and teens drooling. let me tell you that when i past by and gave it alil go, i made people jump and people far ahead turn around and look in awe to see what was coming, open stares and more thumbs up. OKAY for the review

There is no more lag after 3,500-4,000rpm it is all linear, and smooth. The throttle response is so much better and instant without any jerking, all comfort and downshifting in tip-mode is so fun. The car feels so different. You can tell a noticeble increase in power, not a 1,000hp increase but a noticeable amount.

*As most of you know i also have an Eisenmann race. The exhaust tone is more deeper, and sounds so nice. My friends who followed me in their car when i was doing some spirited but safe runs on the highway, said that the sound was just amazing. haha in Tunnels they said it sounds amazing like i put a whole new engine in there, they said they actually saw people do double takes and slow down in their cars to see what the heck my car was.

*My supercharger whine has also increased from & after 3,000rpms. i did some fly bys on my street "dont worry i live in a private street and had some friends monitoring the ends of the street to tell me if a car was coming by so i can slow or stop" The supercharger whine they said was incredible, they thought i changed the supercharger haha.
*I also had a person in a slightly modded WRX STI give me a thumbs up on the highway street and @ a red-light, said that my supercharger and exhaust sounded incredible, he added that i was 6 car lengths back "i was WOT". and he thought i was an exotic or a heavily modded fancy car. He also added if i had a stage 2 supercharger or a custom supercharger in there. haha His STi had cold Air, aftermarket ecu, HKS exhaust, and a bigger turbo and IC. "I didnt race him, i just past him, and @ the light told me what he thought, then after did alil spirited run side by side. The highway street was empty up ahead."


Pros of the TB and ECU:
greatly improved throttle response
intake noise/supercharger whine increased
feel of power
Exhaust tone deeper and a tiny bit louder
guaranteed to make car enthusiasts or any person do a double take

Cons of the TB and ECU:
There is really no cons, but if u leave ur car in Tiptronic mode during WOT and let it autoshift, the car would past redline alil bit and shift alil late. it wont shift before redline during WOT but alil after, it gives you the mis-shift feeling and body jumping foward sensation. But i acutally like it. But when ur regularly driving and leave it in tip-mode it would shift normally before redline.


All in all im a very satisfied customer and would to get more of their products when released

 

Good write up Looking into getting this done later on down the road.

 

You haven't done any pulley's or header yet? And who did the ECU programming?

 

awesome! ill be doing that and a lil more comin up. cant wait. congrats!

 

Nicee can't wait to see your dyno sheet.

 

looks great! I will be bringing ECU guy my ECU this summer when I head over to LA!

 

great everyone has good things to say about the SI ECU tuning .. am gonna get mines done in the next week or two.

 

sounds good, might be doing that later on
but first of all, I need to get my bodykit painted and install
