Default Getting the RS2 stuff put on today---Can't freakin wait

I still don't have the injectors yet (looking for a good deal), so the power increase won't be that much, but I'm still freakin excited to drive the car after the upgrade.

Default I'd be REALLY careful without injectors. She'll go lean on you...

Get the 37# injectors from racetronix and run mihnea software. SO much cheaper.

Default Yeah, I'm on the fence about which route to go

Since I already have an IA chip, I can upgrade for a minimal cost (around $150), but that means I have to get the pricey RS2 injectors ($450) and probably the MAF ($300).

If I go the Mihnea route, the chip costs me around $700, and the injectors cost around $180.

So, either way, I'm looking at around another $900. I'd prefer to go the IA route though b/c they are local and alex at IA is always willing to help.

That's pretty good pricing on the RS2 kit these days, as well.

Default Re: Ah. Understood.

why is there a need to use a different chip with the injectors from racetronix? If they're both high impedance and have the same output then i don't understand?

Default I think they are slighty different

I don't know exactly how though.
