Vadim,

I have been considering ODPS. I have been looking at the threads with all of your research and I have also been evaluation Renntech's as well. One of the good things that they offer is the package of Pulley and Chip. This ensures that they have tested both together. I don't mind buying from different vendors but I am usually very wary of buying two different performance related items such as chip and pulley where one can have quite an impact on another.

It would be great if you could certify it so to speak so that we can get a powerchip ecu and your pulley and not be worried about issues between the two. The other big hurdle is that I am in connecticut and was wondering if you have any preferred tuning shops etc? Thanks.

Prasith: I am not 100% certain that the software RT sells is specific to pulleys. They also advertise it by itself.

My personal preference is to leave software for later. It can make bigger difference when other modifications are made. I would start with ODPS, than headers (I will post more info on headers shortly) and then software to tune this complete combination.

The install for those items is really straight forward. Any import shop should be able to accomplish it. At this time we do not have anybody in CT, but we are working on setting up dealers on the East Coast.

will the headers trigger the check engine light? consider the air vacuum will be disconnected?? or... there is a way around it?

i had headers on my BMW and it triggered the check engine light. and... i don't think i can pass smog w/it either. will the header on C32 have the same problem?

No, headers will not trigger CE lights. They have very similar layout to factory headers, except being 1/8'' larger in diameter and being equal 11'' length.

my401: Patience my friend. Researching and developing something is a lot easier than copying.

I think we should all aplause Evosport for having such an open policicy towards its custumors. I have rarely seen companies giving insights during the R&D phase. Other companies make promises and tell you to buy their stuff and see what happens. Evosport shows you what they are doing and if you like what you see you buy it ... thats is good and open bussines.
