  3. Osiris is a decent EMS. What is out there that we can't support through a shop like RS Tuning? My future plans involve FI, I personally would feel safer with a proper EMS & not a reflash What is the reason for this? Our system has proven time and time again to make more power with higher drivability and reliability than the aftermarket EMS systems. This is 1989 anymore, the factory ECU is not only faster but more reliable. The safety mechanisms built into the code by the OEM take into consideration more about your specific motor than any aftermarket system could, the cost of engineering a VQ specific EMS would be astronomical. Also as far as safety goes, the factory ECU is pre-emptive rather than reactionary. It knows that there is a knock potential and starts to adjust before knock happens. There isn't an aftermarket EMS out there that does that, they are all reactionary. They need knock to happen X number of times in X threshold to then adjust after the fact to reduce knock. Our Pro Tuners world wide recommend our system over aftermarket EMS systems for forced induction. The only real reason to sell the aftermarket EMS for them is because a customer requests it, or they are building 1200+hp cars that aren't designed to be driven on the street. Even Nissan uses our software on their Nismo SCCA and NASA competition vehicles in the USA. Then why do most people that go FI ALWAYS reccomend a decent EMS if yours suffice at 1/3rd of the price? I like to do things properly as most people will see from the way that my car is heading so it stands to reason that when I come to run higher power I'm gonna do that properly aswell. You reflash could well be the greatest item on the entire planet, its just not for me - As I stated I feel safer with a proper EMS instead of a reflash of my ECU - even more so when everyone who has gone FI says that the mapping is the most essential part. Not knocking your product, but its just not right for me
  4. I prefer my way of fitting my tonneau cover

  6. Changing the manifolds is a big job, I was quoted 8-10 hours labour to fit them You wont get anywhere near 14bhp gain with them until you sort the EMS aswell & even then I highly doubt a 14bhp gain PM 3FiddyZ, hes recently had some headers fitted so will be able to tell you if its worth it. I would do HFC/Decat, Y-Pipe, Exhaust & a tune & leave it at that
  7. Agreed There were times where I actually agreed with what he said Although I agreed on his view not to buy cheap wheels, as I wouldn't, nor tyres. Although I didn't agree that paying for wheels over 25 yrs via a remortgage was the best thing to do either
  8. Adam did say that he'd sort something out with the custom charges, don't know exactly how? I'll find out when the delivery for the groupbuy turns up. I've paid customs charges on everything I've bought from Adam
  9. Parcel force are the worst for that They charge theyre own handling fee once its in the uk, it sits in the depot for a week until you recieve the latter they send & then they fail to deliver it on the day you requested when you paid the extortanite fees UPS & Fedex are much better
  10. Well I was thinking I could sell my spacer for a hundred quid and then this would only be £150 .... uh oh ..... NOOOO I must not do it Doooooooooooo it Come to the shiny side
  11. JDM = Japanese Domestic Market
  12. Im sure Alex has/had one on his car Im sure baptist had one on his TT Z at one point aswell & lost power over the APS plenum
  13. Agreed There were times where I actually agreed with what he said
  14. Yup its a definate. The forms say "if your car does not meet these requirements then your car will not be allowed on track"
  15. I'd leave the manifolds off your list, its a lot of work for very little gains
  16. Who delivered it? UPS have asked for payment on delivery the last few times I've used them Fedex send a letter about a week later
