I have a 2001.5 1.8t quattro. I have a hybrid ko4 and it is already gaic chipped. I am very soon going to a custom turbo application from Innovative Turbo which utilizes the reverse manifold to move the turbo closer to the bonnet than the frame. Will I be able to have the exsisting ecu tuned for this application or will I have to go with a standalone from 034 motorsports. This is a costly decision for me and I Just want to have the right stuff the first time. Any knowledge would be helpful. I also noticed that ever top mount turbo pic on this car has no MAF just filter than turbo.

 

Your changing to a different turbo? Or just moving the existing one?
Which turbo are you putting in?
You'llneed custom tuning if its a non-standard setup.

 

if your going bt and its custom and no one makes a tune for it then get 043 for sure.

 

lol, I like the update:
VTEC.... All the lag, none of the turbo. It's like waiting for bad sex

Of course sometimes even bad sex is better than no sex, not sure how that relates to a honda though.

 

im not sure why you are doing it but ok, i have no real imput but to say good lucjk and let us know what happens

 

just seems kind of worthless, full mani, standalone etc... just for a k04

 

its a new setup. Its going to require a bunch of work and several full sem dont pass emissions. But you can make much more power with a sem tune than with any chip.

 

there is already a ko4 in the car i am going bt through innovative turbo, but it has to be mounted with a reverse mani. but since its a custom application i just needed to know if a standalone would be better

 

if you can get a good tuner to tune it, a sem is ALWAYS better.
