My car is getting strapped down to the dyno on Monday. I'm going to do two pulls with the super map, and one pull with my map. Check the sig for my previous results. The only thing I've added is the AFC. While I'm at it they are going to estimate a j-pipe back exhaust too. I'll post up with the results, and send the results to DSMConvert to see if he can tweak the map any to get better results.

Looking forward to seeing the results
 
Me too ... everyone is welcome to make some guesses for whp/wtq. My guess and hope is 170/176 ... but we shall see.
 
I pulled 158/178 with just a K&N and CS exhaust. I should be in on this GB if Paypal can get transfererred over to my other account in time.

I am definitely interested in buying. I really need something to tune my car soon, I just bought it and as soon as I find something to tune it with I will have it dyno-tuned. Here are my current mods:

Turboback Exhaust
Manifold
FMIC
Greddy BOV
MBC set at 1 bar (14.5psi)
K&N Drop In
Large racing Radiator

If this DSM AFC will help me than I'm in! If you have any suggestions also contact me. I'm new with this car and not sure what works and what doesnt. Thanks.

AFC Dyno Results

*** Reminder, I'm on stock exhaust and stock boost settings ***

Well, I have to wait till the shop forwards me the dyno files, but I can give you guys a feel for what to expect. First, look at my previous dyno results. Before, there was a torque spike right as I got into boost, so the torque numbers in my first dynos are kind of deceiving. After the spike the torque was hanging around the 155 range but bouncing all over the place.

Adding the AFC yielded four results:
1. Leaned out the fuel when in boost.
2. Flattened out the hp/tq curves.
3. Removed the hesitation.
4. Consistent results (my two runs today were basically right on top of one another)

Dyno results showed 163whp/164wtq. So it was a gain of about 5whp/9wtq. My guess is that when I add the Vibrant exhaust and up the boost to 9psi, it'll really wake up the affects of the AFC. Once I get the files I'm going to send them to DSMConvert and see if he can do anything to the maps to tweak a little more power out of it.
 
Sorry guys, I'm no longer in the market for an AFC. When I drove my car home from right after purchasing it, I threw a rod and now have a hole as big as my fist in the block right behind the turbo. The person I bought it from was running 1 bar and I turned it back down to 6psi before I drove it and it still blew up. Now I'm in the market for a BUILT ENGINE! Im happy I only paid $7500 for the car! Count me out of this group-buy.

Don't buy the MAM or ********** built blocks unless there are no machine shops in your area. You can get a block from a scrap yard and have the machine shop do all the work and assembly and come out spending less $$ and having a better quality block.

Someone update the list with the changes.
 
So I still have afew questions before i pull the trigger here...Is DSM the only one who can change the mapping around or can we adjust this ourselves with a laptop. I know the info is here..Someone point me to it please without making me read 900 pages of garbage.

I've changed mine, but since I can't log boost and A/F at the same time right now my changes are just shots in the dark (only using A/F and RPM, need boost as well to make the right changes).

If you don't have WBO2 and boost logging ability, don't bother touching the maps.
