Your turbo gives me hope for mine too.

You can swap to speed density or hybrid MAF/map with romraider.
Its technically not a GTX wheel. it is a custom Blouch billet wheel, it is a different shape to a GTX. Its shape is alot closer to a GT wheel, except made of a CNCd forged billet. (comparing google image searchs, no actual hard data on that statement).

If you look at a GTX wheel, it has more blades and they are all the same size, where as if you look at a Blouch wheel, it has a set of big blades, with a set if small blades between them, more closely resembling a GT wheel. So the DOM 2.5 is basically a stock location billet wheel version of the GT-3071R and NOT a stock location GTX3071R. From my limited understanding, the GTXs are better suited at high boost and maybe not quite as good at lower boost. (yes splitting hairs i know)

Ive said it before, and ill say it again. Im not going to do a hack job rom raider tune. Last time i did that my pistons turned to liquid. If it was a street car that did maybe one 3rd gear pull down a freeway onramp every once in a while, them maybe it could get you out of trouble. But given the car is aiming for race car where it will see hard use for a few laps at a time, i want reliability not cheapness, so im not doing that. I dont want to tune remote/email styles. The stock ECU isnt meant to be MAF-less, and making one might be possible, but its not what i would consider smart. The other issue is TMIC heatsoak from extended boosting. So that is where the need for a IAT post cooler comes into play.
