A Mines ECU... is often not really the best.

It might run the boost fine and not get angry, however with a unknown tune, you really should not be taking the risk.

So... would the car benefit from a tune? Most certainly, Yes.

Bin the Mines ECU and get something decent :P

no need to go for the happy "bin the ecu" suggestion made, just get the car on a dyno to test afr's its like $80 or something to do one run.

If you do this just be careful and let the dyno operator know that the car has an unknown tune and that you just did the mods listed cuase you dont want him to lean on it and do a full power run with an unknown tune... could cause a nice bang... :P

IMO would be better to get hold of a std ecu and run 10psi until a new ecu comes along then sell the stocker for what you paid..

just my 2c

^^ any decent tuner should be keeping any eye on the afrs as they are doing the run, if it starts to lean out they'll stop the run.

imo stick it on the dyno and see what she says, you can still drive around if need be, just dont belt up on it until you get a proper dyno power run.

    • I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
