rtek is a heck of a lot cheaper and great for your power goal.

there is someone selling a V500 brand new right now, and I have the plugin harness adapter for a S4 that allows you to use your stock wiring. that goes with that V500 if you decide to go that route.

v500 is nowhere near as simple as the rtek. the rtek will not allow you top controle every single aspect of your engine.

its... not that hard. plus, modifying anythiong on the car, the ecu is the most important.

i was the same way. and i just blindly went into a haltech e6x, and i loved it from day one. way better than sock bs.

Wolf. Just because it will allow expandability to what you want to do. Its not going to have a limit as low as a Rtek. Trust me you will eventually want more power and then you will wish you bought the wolf setup.

i vote wolf because...

you eliminate the airflow meter...

you get a new ecu that's fully programmable. you can use any part you want, and run any fuel you want.

the final reason

it lets you do whatever you want. its expandable.

lots of people hook it up themselves, how good the install looks is another issue.
The plugin adaptor makes it factory wiring easy ( and remember I have the plugin adaptor if you want it, lol

I built my car with the intention of doing a standalone and I never regret doing it one bit.
Just go to the wolf site and download the software, its free, and you will see how much it allows.

Always think AHEAD, with the wolf you will be set no matter what.

again, doing the install yourself is super easy on most basic things like electronics.
