oHoHoH well things have changed for me.

I'll be running an AP Engineering PFC on the Soarer once the 2J and Manual has gone in.

Straight plug and play and with base maps on that ECU I've seen damn near 400rwkw without any tuning. 8)

No such thing. In Toyota land its either factory or its not.

he's probably referring to those Japanese tuned ones like blitz and the like which utilizes some of the factory ECU.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

You should get a new tuner then, because tune shouldnt mean that.

My (old) car sat with the AFR consistently in the high 11's under boost so tuned doesnt always mean lean. You could run any engine lean that has a programmable ECU but why would you? Dont know what you've been told but its not good for it.

Why would you want to run it lean tho? Good way to kill a motor if it's under load or boost :lol:
You can try it if you want but you might want to learn a bit more about engines and tuning before trying it. Just listen to some of the other people on here too saying lean isn't good :wink:

They're a yard, they have overheads that Al doesnt. They can also organise easy finance, unlike Al. Also unlike Al, I got $9500 for it privately.
