Are the boost levels actually acurate?
most of the time I am under the 15% but when it gets real cold out like 20 degrees I somtime have added like 18% on the SAFC.
if I changed the setting to 550/720 if that in turn would maybe add more fuel?
Do the settings in the, lets say 6psi boost row actually correspond to the adjustmant of fuel at 6psi?
If i were to buy this 2.0 and run say 13lbs what would i do to adjust the 3psi above the 10psi limit on the tables?
even if i were to run 7psi, what would i do with the 8,9,10psi adjustments?
Feel free to browse the instruction manual. (PDF)

so inorder to install the chip, you have to take out the ecu cover and solder it in? what chip do you replace? sorry if i sound noobish but with these capabililtes, i may not have to go the full standalone.

And where else are you going to get a verstile upgradable front end for an ECU for $30?
I highly doubt people would be happy if they had to buy a $250+ Windows Mobile device to control the ECU...

In the next couple of years it will be phased into all the new Palm mid-level and up products (except the basic contact manger Palms)
And if I am going to upgrade my ECU, I would be willing to spend the $200 for a nice windows based handheld. I would not be buying a POS B/W screen handheld on ebay for $30 and ever expect it to work.
Heck, even a Gameboy would have been preferable to a Palm device running Palm OS.

Hello all.
This is a hot topic, just thought I would chime in.
Anytime a customer calls my shop we discuss their set up and what their goals are. I have always pushed the Rtek chip for applications of 350 RWHP or less. I push the 1.7 and a superAFC. Most hybrid guys look for 300-350 RWHP which is achievable with a simple chipped ECU all the bolt ons with upgraded pump, injectors, and possibly an AFC and ofcourse the staged turbo that suits their needs. Everyone isn't out there to run 20 psi, some just want a bit over stock and not be on the edge.
I actually run a 1.7 on my personal T2 and a Stage 2 Hybrid. I love it. It makes the car so drivable and user friendly. I have had every ECU on this car and since I put it close to stock, I have never been happier. I am putting the car on the dyno after we dyno my AWD 323. I am aiming for 330-350 RWHP at 1 bar of boost. My T2 gets 20MPG city driving and is close to sounding stock and looking stock. The Super AFC helps with fine tuning or tuning out for larger injectors than what the ECU is programmed for.
The 2.0 I am sure is well planned and thought out. I like the fact you can datalog with UEGO's. That really is a good tool to have when tuning. Also, from what I am informed you can change split timing and the timing map to suit your needs. The only weak point is the map sensor I would say. Some turbos like 60-1 and 62-1 you can get 400 RWHP at 15 psi, so i would say it has that kind of capabilites, but wouldn't stretch it too far beyond the map sensors reach.
I highly reccomend Rteks products for anyone on a budget or wanting to run 15 psi or less on a mildly modified car(350RW or less).

unless its only the rears going 100mph+ (ie dyno).I'll admit that initially I wasn't much into the Palm but after using it, hooked.
Super simple, cheap and small so I just leave it in the car. Toss it in the glove
box or arm rest when not in use, but its always there when you need it.
Like when my alt died, lights dim, radio cuts out, cars still running so pull out
the PocketLogger, select battery volts (TII so no in dash gauge), and see its
only 10.7.

Ya I am definatly getting this, before you guys get carried away with the S5 and NAs lets take the S4 TII all the way and do whatever is necessary to ditch the MAF or use a higher flowing one.

I would also like to know how many people are running this now. This thread has been a great read, for me anyway. I am still debating Rtek and MS. I am leaning to the Rtek just for the simplicity factor.
