Evo Stage 1: a few questions
After a few months where I paid little attention to my C32, I've once again realized how fun this car is to drive around, and I think I'll be ready for a power upgrade soon.
The current plan is to go with Evosport Stage 1, plus probably a few easy to install bolt-ons.
Here are some questions for Evosport:
Stage 1:
======
I know 91 octane is the minimum required. Will the software automatically adapt and make more power with 92/93/94 octane gas?
If so what is the upper limit on the adaptation range?
If not does this mean there is a 91 octane software version vs a 93 octane software version?
If a higher speed Vmax is requested, what is the new Vmax limit?
SL-55 Y-pipe:
==========
I seem to recall that Evosport also sells the SL-55 Y-pipe with custom made fittings for adapting the Y-pipe to the C32 stock air boxes. I don't think this item is on the web site: whats the pricing?
Further to the SL-55 Y-pipe, does Evosport also offer the SL-55 air boxes, adapted to be mounted to the C32 engine as well?
General
======
If I don't want to go with Stage 2, aside from Stage 1, SL-55 Y pipe (possibly with SL-55 air boxes), and the spark plugs/wires, anything else I should be considering? I basically want to go with something a little bit more than stage 1 but I don't want to incurr the cost, both material and labor, for stage 2. Any new developments on the larger diameter pulley and IC improvements which were hinted at in previous R&Ds?
