Default 2 bar gain?

Did you gain anything going to a 2 bar? I am at 11 psi. Is it worth it?

how are you tunned now. I take it you have a MAF tune. 2 BAR SD tunes are easier I think. plus 2 BAR is only 14.7psi of boost.

Im having trouble reading what you just typed but Im assuming youre asking why you should get a 2 bar. If you still have your stock MAP your computer will not be able to read boost and it will be alot harder to tune a car based on what youre seeing on the boost gauge. Spend the 75$ or whatever and get a 2 bar

yea, resolution, and the ability to tune alot more precisely in those load cells. you've certainly pegged your maf and obviously the stock map sensor is only good for ~105 kpa at sea level... do you monitor AFR?

You got a blower, tune seems to be good as it's still together(assuming you didn't change setups to something radical), I'd just leave it alone. You won't magically gain big power with the 2 bar tune over what you have now with that blower.

The nine inch burkhart and 4l80 conversion were a disaster. So we got a bigger stall and looser converter, replumbing trans coolers, putting in the procharger front mount and big red valve. We took out the tci transmission controller out put a speartech harness in. So I figured why not do a 2-bar, while we are at it. Justune just tuned my daughter's z it was a big difference it made.
