If you are educated enough you will know if any of those things do happen, if you are not then you will kill your engine. Never trust your car 100% and think that it will never fail.

EGT plus FRP and a gauge will buy you one wideband. You can also hook your wideband up to the emanage or smt6 and log everything that happens when you are driving. Then park your car look at where you are lean or rich and add or subtract fuel... very simple. Then drive again and see how it worked and do it couple more times. Tuning at the dyno will be $150 at least... each time you wanna change something while you can do it for free with a wideband.

Also, dyno only tunes your car at WOT so it might suck at idle and stuff....

It's up to you man weather you want to buy it or not, but it's very nice to have one, trust me!

EGT + FRP = $120
Wideband + gauge = $360-$500
------
Also would like to note that dyno tuning is usually $50-$75 per half hour... with cool-down period I get about 5 runs per half hour. Who says you have to WOT on a dyno anyway... I've done half throttle runs as well. Done arguing either way, Mad will jump on me for all the off-topicness sooner or later.

Well it is only a little off topic wink1.gif . I do see both of your points. Like I said it will probably be something that is bought in the next couple months after the kit and emanage is up and running. My real main goal is to have my whole setup up and running smoothly by Daytona so I can show off a little laugh.gif:

Its the polished one, right? How much would you sell it to me for? Im not really in a rush so whenever you can take it off, just let me know. But I just wanna know for sure that you would sell it to me so I can go ahead and sell the silver one that I just bought.

Thanks and good luck with the turbo. Im so jealous, lol
