Of course! I'm looking into having 3SX Performance tune it since they're located in Concord, NC which is about 3 hours from me. They're listed as a dealer on the Fabberge website. Unfortunately their dyno is down at the moment. I'm most likely going to wait for it to get back up since Fabberge is ruffly 9 hours from me. No matter what happens though I will post dyno numbers for you guys.

Had one slight oil leak from a fitting, changed it out and was all good. The car sounded good and everything seemed to be okay. The idle is a little low but i would assume that will get fixed with the tune.

Yeah I'm pretty excited and looking forward to seeing what it can do. As long as the weather clears up and stays good in my area I should be able to enjoy it after the tune.

Same, which this year has been a very mild one compared to others but after the tune I have 0 intention of driving this car in the snow or at all really during the winter since they like to keep the roads salted almost all winter whether we're getting snow or not. I don't want that salt eating away at my car and I'm going to have too much power to even attempt to drive in snow, slush, or ice. So this car will now be a Spring, Summer, and Fall vehicle.

So I have a quick question. Due to some personal issues it's going to be a while before I can get the dyno tune done. I would like to be able to drive the car still though. So does anyone know of a way to give it a mild map tune through the boost controller that would be safe to drive? Even if I have to run it at lower boost I don't care. But if it's not going to be safe then I will just let the car sit till I can get the dyno tune.

Thanks!

What tune do you have in it now?

Nothing, during the install I just hooked my laptop up to my boost controller which btw is also a wideban controller and let is set a very basic map just so I could fire it and check for leaks. The car hasn't been drove or moved since then.

JantzenOKC · 03-25-2016, 05:12 PM

Ahh. I wouldn't drive the car without having either the canned tune from Fabberge or a dyno tune.

It did, like that's what it has now is the base map that the boost controller set. I just didn't know if it was trust worthy to drive with.

I think you might be miss understanding. Fabberge didn't send me a map for the kit. The boost controller isn't from them either. I'm using the Innovate SCG-1 and all I did was plug my laptop up to it and activate it's map. I didn't adjust or alter anything in it since I don't know much about it.

Here is a link to it.

Well I chose the Tuner Kit for the Package because I plan to have it Dyno Tuned. That might be why it wasn't included since they have a check box for the Tune File.

Aprojectile · 03-25-2016, 05:23 PM

Possibly, I'll give them a call Monday and talk with them about it too and see what they have to say.

Aprojectile · 04-26-2016, 01:57 PM

I just noticed that Fabberge put my O2 Bung for the Wideband on my UP right after the Factory O2 Sensor Bung.

I wonder if this will create a problem?

Car will finally be getting dyno tuned Wednesday afternoon. Will post results.
