Yeah, I actually find it funny they tell you to drive it as aggressively as possible after installing/resetting to teach the ECU to be more aggressive. But realistically it just goes downhill as it learns. Plus where will you really drive aggressively in any metropolitan area.

Either way, I'm happy with the performance for the cost. I have an Evo X to play around with, so for the wife, its more than enough.

Haven't posted in a while but we've gone in a new direction. We're putting a 2.9TT Giulia engine into my new 124.

I haven't posted in here in a while. So much going on. Put a built engine and a new Garrett G25-550 turbo in the car while sorting out the details of the QV electrical system. Slapped a hater pipe out the hood while I was in Washington state. Obviously had to remove it before coming back up to Canada but it was rad.

Part 1/3


Part 2/3
