What power did you make on the plug n play? I almost got a mine's one but the guy fobbed me off ebay! Will ewg fully eliminate boostcreep or just ease the pain? Haha
Buy a decent boost gauge of you havn't already, It should be ok with the weather been warmish, it's the winter you gotta watch for overboosting...that's why people run actuators at 0.8 and use EBC's to do the rest/change settings etc
You will still get power down with a good set of tyre's but cornering and off line starts and handling that more power will be so much better, there is a trd one in the for sale section!
You might see a 30bhp pending on the health of your engine I would say if your going forge yes, some LSD wouldn't go a miss neither to get the power down more sufficiant.
Would make sense to buy thicker bolts if it's uprated one's shouldn't be any play really as it's meant to be very stiff but I reckon it should of been an advisory and to have it changed imo
Plug n plays are proven to give more power gains but it is abit luck of the draw on the other hand how can our favourite top tuners in Japan be wrong! I agree that plug n plays need to be checked out after fitting as with everything else. If your running a different turbo other than the ct9 I would say go to tuners and get a map but as above if anything goes wrong or you have to change something it's another trip to the tuners or at a worse towed back...plug n plays are dropping in price to under £400 in some case's. If I can achieve near 200hp that's my goal achieved but everyone's different. Plug n plays are more JDM Yo haha and if something major happens an emb for eg will be lucky to get £200 for, going to try the good old JAM plug n play as most of my V is Jammed up anyway if I can make 190 on good fueling ad be happy with that and have plenty of spare change for top notch tyre's and other bits I agree that the emb/emu are safe maps and all this td04 is great power but all this extra power takes the life span out the engine and with no lsd the over power for the fwd system will be death on corners lol
Does the SARD come with all the fuel line's and fittings and where did you get it from I might just settle for a plug n play and go from there as they run off the stock fpr alot less hassle but I will see.
I am ocd anti clutter with everything if I don't use something in a certain time frame it goes apart from my rear seats and a few other bits, I would rather somebody make good use of the things I don't use if I had space I would keep it all.
