Default Can I ask what a diode mod is?

Can I ask what a diode mod is? Remember I'm a newbie! What performance gains do I get out of it, if ne?

a diode limits the voltage from the map to the ecu. The higher the volts the higher the psi. The 4.3v limits the ecu to only seeing 11psi, the 4.7v limits the ecu to 17psi (for a chipped car it you are having trouble hitting limp) and the highest the ecu can read is 5v. So if you have no chip and want to increase the psi you need a 4.3v so it only lets the ecu see 11psi (which @14.7 you will hit limp) and then turn up the boost. For some chips, the tune is to aggressive and you may hit limp from time to time above 17psi. So by limiting the ecu to only see 17psi you can then run the boost up to 20-24psi with ease.

*** 225tt. will you please insert this and link the other thread into the faq (like anyone looks) please.***

Uhh... I think the monkey was being facetious.

instead of having a sticky named " FAQ AND BASIC TT INFO ", perhaps we should make a whole seperate one named, " MOD FAQ "

granted, if most people skip past the original "FAQ", who's to say they'd stumble into the suggested?

just my .02

Good Idea Munkee. Who wants to read a boring FAQ and Basic TT crap. Modding FAQ sounds a lot more exciting! [8D]
