mbc control is hooked up through hoses and done manually in respect to you constanlty checking the boost gauge

 

What do I get next? With the apr chip/diverters changed I am looking for my next upgrade/mod?

 

TBB isnt really needed ... how much money are you looking to spend ... youve pretty much completed the most cost effective mods ... id say call vast performance in MI and ship them your TCU and they can put 1 or 3 different files on it ... its a good mod bc it will allow your trans to manage the power youve gained from the chip

 

intresting

 

Yeah the tip chip is highly recomended, I might end up making a road trip up there over the summer to get piggies and the tip chip.

 

yah i don't know about the piggies but the tip chip def sounds good I lost to an STI by half a car and beat a lexus 460 (8 cyl)

 

vast piggies are a great piece for the price... they keep the exhaust temp down and you yield results from dropped turbo temps and that will also increase teh lifespan of your turbos ... id say do either one but the tip chip will give u the neck snapping results

after those two mods ... get a samco hose kit boost gauge and a MBC

 

Definitely go with the PIggies even before the tip chip! It is a great mod, and proven. YOu'll get 20-30lbs tq from it and more reliability, less heat behind the turbos.
MBC won't work wioth APR chip

I just got my stg3 tip chip from VAST (See my other thread about car in the shop) installed yesterday
It is not working, gotta remove it, throwing cell, tranny stuck in 4th and lost tiptronic.. I think it is in limp mode. Some settings were too aggressive it seems for the computer
So they shipped a stg2 chip that I need to install on the TCU as a temporary solution, he is custom tunning another stage 3 chip that my computer won't reject

 

so many problems with these chips!

gigi i still dont have mine done yet ... its been like a month and a half

 

I wonder if the Agressive Stage3 just won't work with the smooth APR chip
