Best sounding intake
pudding:
It's not mandatory but as above, you may not achieve the advertised figures with standard hardware.
I ran 2+ with the standard intake (and exhaust!) after not getting on with aftermarket intakes. It ran absolutely fine. It made the same 400 odd lbft torque as one of R-tech's typical pushed to the max maps, just not as much high rpm bhp.
colesey:
I can imagine many tuners are keen on impressive maximum / headline numbers as that is how many will judge their product on facebook / forums etc. Question for consumers is are you happy to lose some daily drivability with less torque / response low down and more noise for the sake of an extra 20bhp on peak numbers.
pudding:
Indeed. I would love to see what an R-Tech tuned Ed30 puts down on a known low reading dyno, such as Surrey Rolling road. 380+hp from a stock KO4 is pure fantasy. It'll be nearer 350 in reality.
absolute:
Do you think that mapping a car at 82K is a crazy idea for long life?
