only large scale companies can afford to have several supply factories, Microtech is still a small company and only has distributors in the US and will probably never have a central location here.

I'm actually strongly thinking about selling my lt10s and going to a power fc using the adapter kit that banzai racing makes. I believe it already comes with the 3 bar map and everything if you get the kit through them.

yuck.. i still hate the PFC but i guess it takes time to get used to. i am still stuck on how easy it is to work with the microtech in tuning though. i just hate being stuck with the PFC's block memory tuning, sure with any fine tuning you have to use it but what's nice about the microtech is even with a rough LOAD map tune it is still 95% as close to a fine tune already.

I've never really messed around with a pfc so I can't say much for them I just know that most people don't like or at least don't tune them on a regular basis. Most of the tuners I know of would rather tune on haltech or pfc. I still haven't made my decision yet. The power fc can get pretty expensive with the harness adapter, good stock harness witch on a second gen is hard to come by, power fc, commander and datalogit I would probably have to put out a ton of money even after selling the microtech.

If you're going to run anywhere near the limit on the boost sensor, why have it fly blind if it ever spikes?
Doesnt matter if you're going to run that much boost on purpose, but its nice to have your ECU know whats going on.

lol as one george bush to another you are absolutely right and I have pretty much the same thread on teamfc3s.org and I had a guy write the same thing you did and it really made me change my mind. I will go ahead and get the 3bar map for this exact reason. Thanks for the input.

I’m running 23-24psi on my 20psi map. I guess it’s not ideal but it can be done, just allow a timing and fuel map for max psi setting on your 20psi load map.

lets be realistic your ether cursing under vacuum or a gentle squeeze of boost to over take or your punching wot at max psi, so there’s really no need to have load settings that are super accurate in between.

Just my opinion though, I guess its all relative to how much money you want to throw at the car vs. measured gains.

the turbo blanket came from gothamracing and is very good quality. Probably one of the best quality blankets I've seen.

Well to tell you the truth I would rather not spend to much more money on it and really don't want to wait the amount of time it takes to send the unit to australia and get it back. You have an interesting suggesting there and will ask the guy tuning it if he would feel comfortable doing that. Thanks for the info boby and again sorry I didn't get the t70 from you, just found a killer deal in town.

Cant wait to see numbers and times , that turbo looks so very promising.

Unfortunalty Everyone who has installed it in the past hasnt runned it hard. then parts out or upgrades or takes a break.

Hope someone runs the 25 psi and mucho videos.

And slammedblk7 , Cant wait to see your tune with the new manifold . Maybe you posted, but when are you going to get retuned ? and videos also.
