1 BAD 7

Okay, here's the deal. I'm putting in a street port, and at the same time i'm going non-sequential.

now, the majority of the threads I have read say nothing about having to have an upgraded ECU to run non-seq. however, there are a few i've seen where it's stated that you can't have the stock ecu and run non-seq.

which is the frickin' truth?!

here's what i'll have:

Mild Street Port
Downpipe
Intake
N-tech hi-flo cat
*maybe a pully kit
and of course non-sequential

A) With this setup I'll be able to get rid of the rat's nest, correct?

B) If A is true, I should only have 7 vacuum lines, correct?

C) And I'll be able to do this with the stock ECU...correct?

I'm so tired of reading up on this s*&t...I'm about to tow the car back to my mechanic and tell him to deal with it! I just want a straight answer!

(now that I've said that, I'm sure I'll get plenty of people offering up conflicting answers).

Thanks!

I think as long as you run with a cat + a ported wastegate to keep boost spikes down you should be ok.


I've never seen the threads where people say you need an aftermarket ecu to run non-sequential. I am sure it does aid for tuning purposes though.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!

I'd ask Rikki...

Sorry about the first post... Figured if I didn't do it, someone else would...

I'll be different and say if you want to run that list you should get an ECU - it certainly wont hurt you. I dumped an engine with intake, DP, and CB and 11 PSI.

I would think an aftermarket ecu would be beneficial, if not necessary for running non-seq because you are hitting full boost at an earlier rpm. The stock fuel map does not anticipate this.

Also, with a streetport and hi-flow cat, I would think it's time for an ecu. If nothing else, get a Pettit or M2 that will atleast provide a little more fuel to be safe. If you are only going to run 10 psi, you might be ok with the stock ecu, but what's the point?

i never even thought of the whole "truth" reference. hardy har har har

I also forgot I'll be running a manual boost controller. and a y-pipe. I forgot those....

The turbos, boost controller and Y-pipe were all Gary Hagner's before he went single, if that means anything.

Mkay?

just skip the bullshit and go single.....but then again everybody doesnt have the money

you answered yourself for me. Sweet! I'd love to go single, but I don't seem to have another $5000 laying around...I'm gonna be hurting enough as it is thanks to my engine going Ka-Boom.

I didn't see the street-port in there. I don't know what I was smoking yesterday. But I personally would get a aftermarket ecu considering you are getting a street port or you could try doing what Gordon suggested.

thanks for clearing me up gordon.
