Engine management?

GTiMkVtyler · May 2, 2006

Is there anything available, yet? Sorry if this was asked.

Supratgti · May 2, 2006

Depends on what your looking for? chipped or standalone?

GTiMkVtyler · May 2, 2006

Chipped. I'm looking to do the down pipes from the turbo instead of catback. I just wish more parts would come out.

Supratgti · May 2, 2006

I was thinking about getting mine chipped also but seeing the prices and seeing how much they really give for whp im thinking i might wait till they do go down cause 800+ bucks for 50 hp thats if ur lucky on the chip seems wayyyyy to pricey.

I just want to get exhaust installed with down pipes and I can't do that without engine management. This is the only downfall of owning a 2006. Time is killing me.

APR software is $600

Revo software is $450 both give about the same gains

Ive heard Revo once stoled APRs software.

APR is 600 yes but need to add the flip switch to go back to stock is another 149... so thats 750 right there plus the company that you go to flash the ecu might charge for install.

Many that worked for APR began Revo. GIAC is the best IMHO.

umm...may i ask u why u cant put on an exhaust unless u have a chip?

u can do anything u want to the car...it doesnt need a chip...so if u wanted to just do an exhaust...then u can....only an intake?...ok not a problem

a chip would just be a smart mod to do...but its not needed

milltek exhaust with AMD tuned ECU gives out 280bhp

or MTM exhaust with MTM Tuned ECU gives out 272bhp

Where can you buy the AMD software?

How about Milltek and APR? That was the combo I was thinking of getting...

good point! sorry i can't help u out... cuz i'm not from the NA region...
but i know AMD is from England and u can check it on their site if they have any avaliable dealer near u...

Milltek with APR ECU i think it would work as well... it's better to mod the hardware first be fore upgrading the ECU... so u wouldn;t have to update ur ECU everytime when u have new hardwares on...

You can, but you won't get the peak performance from your exhaust without some chip tunning. I talked with APR about getting a group exhaust/tuning buy setup, and am trying to plan a South East Mk5 cruise to there factory, to get exhaust installed and tuning done for disocunted prices. The guy from APR told me that when you enlarge the diameter of the exhaust you can achieve optimal results by setting up the software for a specific engine management style. If you already have APR the re-tunning to accomadate the exhuast is free. If you don't have APR you'll have to get flashed.

what kind of HP do you think I would have with a Milltek non-resonnated exhaust, Milltek downpipe and APR ECU? I also heard a BOV can add like 1 or 2 HP...is this true?
I'm thinking of getting the Forge Motorsport Switchable Atmospheric Blow Off Valve. Don't really know much about blow off valves....:iono:
