get a 4 bar fpr, its worth it, its the same as the ford xr6 turbo.
from what i've heard, the 2.5's do better on the 3.8
thats right nuggs!
D.C./Casper/Adelaide peoples, apologies for not ever getting back to you Re; TS SRiT tuning, as you know I gave the 'tool' to a mate weeks/months ago to load onto his laptop for me and have not heard back since!?
Will try chasing up where it is? (haven't been totally slack this time, the rally car build has kinda taken over)
My main problem is though I have now owned this kit for nearly 2 years I still haven't tuned my own car as do not own a laptop, and I am a slacko!
yeah it will be mid november, but is still as per genuine interest and deposit's closer to the date.
Just a question - for those that have had the re tune - do you have to tell your insurance company about it? i know with places like apr and giac - they are performance tunes and change the car dramatically and therefore would need to tell the insurance company. but from my understand this re map is mainly about driveability rather than outright power?
so would i need to tell the wonderful people at jci bout it?
no..
i highly doubt they would be able to tell that your car had gotten a retune if you have gotten into an accident.
the only loss is they dont add any value for it.
there is always that chance though, of you haveing(being the cause) of a serious accident where there was a fatality, and then they going over your car with a fine tooth comb and finding that your remapped and well then your goneskis. Along with anything else that is not a legal mod or not been engineered for.
But that is the extreme end of the scale though.
Most ppl dont tell the insurance companies.
We asked at NRMA who insure our GTI about getting GIAC tune done and they said yes we should tell them just incase. They also said that it would need to be emissions tested too as it alters the cars settings.

cheers for that guys. i just hope there are enough people who are willing to get the tune done so ausvectra can come down to melb. im waiting very impatiently for it.
as far as i know there a rea fair few people getting the tune done by auz in melb when he goes down.
as for insurance, im not telling my insurer, theyd just use it as another reason to increase premiums.
also, there are so many different files, i really doubt your insurer would have a copy of each stock file, therefore theyd have buckleys chance of discovering a tune.
itd have to be a pretty fine toothed comb!
it would only take a tech 2 to see the flashed file.
Or what ever tool it is that holden use to update the flash to the ecu.
Trust me if they look they know what to look for to see that the file has been changed, no matter how many times they tell u that the flash is undectable.
SSS_Hoon
umm, holden or tech 2 doesnt bring up that ur car was remaped or tuned, so without u telling them, how would they know? N really at the end of the day if they pulled u up on it, just play dumb "I never got it tuned, it was this way once I bought it".
What about if your ecu shits itself?
I'll just borrow your car for a while Gav
What the peugeot or the forester?
i dont understand that 1 gav, r u sayin if the ecu shits itself they might know???
What i mean is that if the ecu needs replacing what happens to the file?
if the ecu dies, it really depends what file it's updated with from holden. if i have the file i will reload it, but if i dont then i will have to work something out, as i will have to purchase another file for it.
by the stage that this could happen i should have a few files already and it shouldnt be an issue.
sorry havent been posting here much, had to get the car running for the cruise last wkend ;).
i'll send some pm's out to all that have expressed interest as soon as i get a chance, regarding definates n deposits.
but also, where would be the best place to stay at? or what area??
just a quick question. i have de restricted my airbox so would adding a k&n filter do much? and is it worth it over the stock filter?
thanxs in advance
cheers, although i dont think a bnb would be good for me n vectraguy01, as he's joinin me on the trip :p.
any more airflow can help ;).
i'm more a fan of pod filters but, aslong as they are sheilded for legal reasons, but on a non turbo the heat isnt so much of an issue.
How long are you guys down for?
rofl @ david
now this is gettn way too wierd :p.
haha ;). if that was the case, too long :p.
If you can do a custom airbox for my pod and supply, u can stay here, lol :)
sounds like a good offer auz, and at least there is a smilie at the end of the message instead of...Quote:

haha, the smile could be as bad :p.
need all the gear i have access to up here to do a custom ;).
Damn, was worth a shot. But you are right, this thread is starting to sound a little wierd.
if u were able to get a spare, or send the manfold up here, we would be able to do something but :D.
wouldnt be able to say without seeing the manifold and dicussing the custom 1 more ;).
but would certainly me more the a couple of hundred.
Hi auz, any idea of a date yet?
soz, way too many hrs at work, been slack :(.
but i guess i got an excuse, when i'm doing upto 60-70hrs a week :p.
will send some pm's out now.
pm's sent ;).
