Piggyback? Quick and easy install. Able to remove to avoid warranty issues. Are these available yet?
So there is no piggy back system that is decent? There are alot of people running these in all kinds of cars but i dont hear about the damage. What makes them so prone to cause failure if they work within the safety tolerances of the system?Piggybacks for the most part are just signal modifiers. We have installed some on customers car and they just run terrible, to the point we think it may cause failurePiggyback? Quick and easy install. Able to remove to avoid warranty issues.

I get the ecu tune is better, just wanna know why this piggyback tune from lap3 is a bad idea. Nobody says why....When im ready to spend $ it might be with sxth tanner spent 30 minutes with me on the phone answering questions eagerly. He is quite passionate I like that.Do yourself the favor and save the extra cash for Tork or Lap3s' tune. You will not regret it.

Ok so the ECU has no way to know what changes were made, is this because it happens after the signal is sent from the ECU? WHat are safe PSI's ranges for a stock turbo? When should it be mandatory to upgrade the Boost Solenoid?A piggy back is not a tune. The ECU has no idea what is going on with the car. it believes it is only pushing 12 psi when really it is pushing 18 for instance
I have the Scorcher by aFe.Piggyback? Quick and easy install. Able to remove to avoid warranty issues. Are these available yet?
How long have you been running this module? How is the car performing?
Car performs very well. I have had NO issues. I drive in Sport + mode everyday. There is a very noticeable difference in power. Boost starts earlier and stays in it longer too. When you put it in race (RED) you will feel even more power and longer duration under boost too. Make sure your running 91 or 93 octane.How long have you been running this module?

I've had it for approximately 5 months. I drive the car pretty hard. My commute is 1 1/2 hrs to work and 1 1/2 hrs back home.How long has it been? Are you running stock?
That is a a lot of daily driving! how many miles have you put on it approximately with the scorcher?I've had it for approximately 5 months. I drive the car pretty hard. My commute is 1 1/2 hrs to work and 1 1/2 hrs back home.

In a couple months I'll be adding a Downpipe.
Stock pressure can actually peak at ~18psiI just got gifted a module to boost the PSI by 4 to 16-17 PSI, I'm hearing our turbo was toned down to 12 PSI so this PSI range would just be normal and safe
It's actually bigger.I hear the VT has a smaller turbo
I would run better plugs with any tune.maybe some plugs, and boost solenoid
They won't do much on the stock tune due to built-in power limiters. Having a tune + intake/exhaust will see a much better gain from those items.I'm feeling, no intake or muffler delete will do this ( those things are just overpriced compared to the performance you get esp the intakes).
According to voodoo it's the veloster that peaks at 18 PSI stock and that was the '14 the '15 and '16 where about 15 to 16. And the ES peaks at 12 PSI, ive seen that from tork also their test was 12 PSI steadyStock pressure can actually peak at ~18psi

Never heard of that company before, so good luck with that.
