Fact. How is it possible then to extract so much power from the GENIII. Most tunners lean them out and they make power.
Fact. My mechanic has a single turbo setup on an alloytec and he says they are running stupidly rich.
Fact. A stock 175kw alloytec should make over 210kw with a custom tune.
Fact. You can have twin tables written that can be accessed at the flick of a switch. One emissions friendly and one power friendly.
Fact. Even if you are caught its very easy to have your tuner put the standard tune back into your car.
Fact. Why the hell wouldnt you have a custom tune.
Just a quick question, how is that you are so sure that these cars dont run rich.
Most "tunners" tune to make power, not emissions requirements.
if alloytechs are "stupidly rich" how do they meet the stringent emissions requirements?
twin table calibrations are possible, although not common.
if you get caught for an EPA your vehicle can be impounded until testing, no reflash possible.
Custom tunes are good, hell its how i make my living.
to answer your question, look above.
Look im not against tuning, as i said its my trade, all i originally said was in response to a stupid comment that "the alloytech is tuned rich, thats why they use so much fuel", this is garbage, the reason for the excessive fuel consumption is the driving style. My parents drove thiers to darwin & back at 8.2l/100km according to the trip computer, does this sound like its running rich??
