another revo vs giac vs r-tech thread

[Hurdy]

Maf sorry. Does it still use oe maf sensor is it a bigger item?

Simon

Still uses OEM sensor. The GIAC map scales the MAF readings to keep the AFR's accurate.

Can anyone comment on giac power delivery ?

Someone call?

The GIAC power delivery at stages 1 to 2+ are what you could expect from most other tuners. It is quite aggressive and on the extreme stage 2+ map needs a 3" MAF housing on the intake. Obviously my circumstance is a little different as I now have the GIAC stage 3 map to go with the upgrade Loba turbo. Deploying the power at stage 2+ with FWD is always going to be down to grip and so you should be looking at something like Federal 595-RSR's or Toyo R1R's at least.

Hurdy, where do you get the 3" MAF housing, I can't seem to find one? Hoping someone does the 3"MAF housing and silicon to turbo with DV pipe too.

There are only two options, Forge made some custom ones for Steve Jr at Statllers, but Forge may also stock them now. Using this method you have to custom make piping to the turbo from the MAF. Secondly you'd have to but the full VF Engineering intake which has a 3" MAF.

Seems a pain then. Sorry to be a pain myself but have u got any more pics of the silicone to turbo? And rest of the intake.
Do you then run 3" to the filter?

Can't seem to find the VF intake, no where were I can buy one anyway? Plenty of forum pictures.

The silicone to turbo is a custom jobbie too. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow. I run a cutdown Evoms intake to the turbo.

Statller or Regal can supply the VF intake.

Thanks for the info! I considered cutting my neu-speed down and doing it that way but might as well buy the new kit an sell the old. I'll call stallers today an get a price.

Out of interest have you logged your MAF flow rate, I'm getting 265g/s with mine. But you must be seeing over 300g/s and I thought the MAF could only read to 300g/s. well that's all the range goes to in VCDS.

[Hurdy]

Yes, last time I logged it the intake was over 300g/s. It must be able to read well over that as it definitely does on Steve Jr's.

That's good to know, I'm going back in for a tweak on Saturday at R-Tech and to get my DSG map loaded.
Hoping to get that tiny bit closer to yours lol
