Any one running the Autronic SMC Kit?
 

if anyone knows anything about this , good or bad?

SM2 right here....
 

Still haven't fired up yet...ran into some problem with the ignition. Had to install a CDI unit and change over to the older coilpacks. The Autronics is a very easy to use unit for tuning. But if you are looking into it, you might want to do some more research then just a good and bad answer. There will be alot of things you will have to remove/change to use a standalone.

What exactly do you need to know?

Re: SM2 right here....
 

well i was just looking for a good standalone i have done a ton of research and i heard this one is pretty dang good. im running the apr stage III kit now on my 00 a4 and its weak. im going to upgrade to the gt30r. atp 550's , atp manifold, and ect. you know the rest anyways just checking to see if anyone ran this and see how they liked it i guess ? thanks , if you have aol IM my sn is Volcom1875 . hit me up man thanks , later

just saw some of your info and if i run that autronic , i wont be able to function my gauge cluster and use my pedels?? ha is there another rout to go maybe?

Talk to EIP tuning about the TEC III, they said they have had lots of success using it on 1.8ts.

You might be able to keep your gauge cluster if you leave your old ECU in the car.

about to be all installed.

and all the sensors and if it doesnt have to have readings in a certain range for guages to work

i also have an Autronics SMC sitting on my desk...
 

I just got my GT30R from ATP... most of the hardware is ATP, and I gotta say, so far so good. I've installed several turbo kits before, and this one looks like fun.

I have a '01 B5 and am converting to the cable throttle settup as well as a VR6 TB and AEB intake manifold.

As for the standalone, I plan to do what XR4TIC was sayin... leaving my original ECU in there... just to read. Not sure if it'll work, but it is my plan "A". If I get lucky, it might even still operate my variable cams too. I guess we'll see. The SMC unit I'm using is going to be setup w/ the Autronics boost controller and a MSD DIS4 w/ 4 MSD coil packs. It's worth a try.

Big Nipper's setup (SM2)is sweet too, all the bells and whistles.

Unfortuneately its a waiting game for me at the moment because my rods are still not done.

good luck u guys~

An AEB manifold won 't work well with a non-AEB head...
 

the intake ports are real wide on the AEB, so you'll have a lot of air slamming into a wall when it meets the smaller ports on your head, unless you plan on opening your ports way up.
