AP TMIC tune any good?

[fastdreams]

So I'm about to buy the ETS TMIC. (question my sanity if you must re: vs. fmic)

I'm currently running the Cobb AP stage 2 93 tune with ATR throttle smoothing tweaks. It's working very well for my car, I am enjoying it. I was going to sell the AP and had the stock tune back on, then put the stage 2 back and decided I can't live without it! (burnout)

My concern is - how good is the tune for + TMIC? Any of you running it?

what kind of AFRs do you see now?

what kind of AFRs do you see now?

12's to 11's last time I checked (i know I should check more often! (nailbyt) ) fuel pressure has been good and consistent as well.

So then I assume that the AFR's will be leaned out with a TMIC? I'll have to keep an eye on that post install. I would hope/think the AP +TMIC tune would adjust for that?

it should be within spec and nothing to worry about

Thanks Ken. Just looked again and it goes even into 10's at times depending on the situation. I think I'm safe in the fuel dept.

Thank god my stock fp has been gtg so far. Been modded with intake, dp, and ap for 10k miles now, quite a lot of hard track time thrown in as well. All is well. (knock on wood). Figure it's time I treated the car to a few bits of improvement.

I want to buy the tmic from you if are willing to sell it to me (lol2) I prefer business on the phone though, left you a voicemail (kevin).

i am willing, however ETS presently has our TMIC shipments in production and are a few weeks out

i have no luck in impulse buys for this car.

I'm running the TMIC map.. it works great. No problems at all.
Just make sure you have a cat. in your downpipe to get the best results.

I wish they made a TMIC map that didn't require a downpipe. But I guess that is what ATR is for.

ideally the best cobb tune will be done by a local cobb dealer on the dyno

Is that good, or Bad ?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

good for the wallet i suppose

Depends on my state of mind

Right now, I'm itching to buy a TMIC. The car needs it. I was on fire to buy a FMIC or TMIC several months ago, but couldnt' decide what I wanted then decided I didn't really need it yada yada.

So now, I know the car needs it, I know I want it, so I know I have to buy it before I talk myself out of it. Now I'm almost 100% talked myself into buying one of the few Cobb FMIC kits left. But I really wanted to keep my cost of TMIC/FMIC + TIP + BPV under $1k.

I might go for the $790 ATP kit. Trying to find some positive/negatives for the ATP kit. That would help keep me closer to the magic 1k mark.

Thanks for the input.

I am running the CP-E catted downpipe.

Ok.

New topic.

AP stage 2 + Cobb FMIC tunes any good?

JSC will shortly have one less in stock...damn uncontrollable impulses.

In the end...it is the right thing to do (if upgrading ICs). I know this. Especially in the record breaking heat of Austin Texas summer this year. 160* BAT's Stock or not that is not good for a turbo'd engine.

Where is the cabbage patch dance smiley...

FMIC, TIP, and Forge BPV installed yesterday. AP tune changed.

So far so good. I may need to change the Forge spring to red, or add some shims to the blue.

Interesting noises now, there is a supercharger like whine, and the "shink" of the BPV, as well as lot more noticeable whoosh of air after the "shink" recirculation.
