Anyway, an update... I fitted the TBE and TMIC, the the PW TMIC fitted up ok but wasnt exactly straight forward, cheap arse hose clamps had to be replaced with decent ones, and the bonnet scoop deflector/duct fit up wasnt good quality and had to be modded/re-drilled to make it look like a bought one. Im impatient so I fitted the TurboXS TBE, its fit wasnt great either, the passenger side muffler rubbed against the shock strut so I hand to bend muffler hangers etc and then redress the work so it all looked even from the back. It sounds nice out side but a bit droney or luffy (??) inside when cruising. The gearbox to downpipe mount supplied is crap too. Other than that fit up was good. The turbo and bypass gas noises sound good too!! Anyway on the way back from the gym yesterday I had a run with a VE SSV, kicked its butt until 2nd to 3rd - then big bang lunge etc and cruise light, stability control light flashing, CEL codes up etc went home and used Learning View to reset ECU and clear CEL etc but it doesnt support MY11 so couldnt find out what happened, Im guessing over boost or something to do with knock. Worst of all SSV bogan thought he won legitimately!! So its back into the garage for my beautiful Grey MY11 (3000k's) and back to getting the shit arse train to work until I can get a tune sorted, as I cant be trusted to drive out of boost or in closed loop fueling. |

What Jaron was mentioning, is a couple of grand on tuning now may save you $10,000's on replacing an engine later... If you are self tuning and learning along the way.
The newer cars are absolute nightmares to tune and it takes some time for the community to develop complete definition files for all the different fuel maps etc that exist. My advice would be to call MMS/RT and enquire about ECUTek if ASG aren't giving you the answers you want. This will be a much better option than dak dak boom since you might forget to tune a low load fuel map or something. Also, if you get a CEL up after an issue, don't just clear it... Read the code! Find out what caused the issue. It was most likely only boost cut, but best to have all the information at hand.

Munted - Your lucky, your CEL errors could have been a blown motor.
Let this be a lesson to anyone modding exhaust, intakes, etc - TUNE!

I understand where Jaron was coming from and appreciate his comment, Im not going to tune myself, but others can tune online from logs etc. I cant justify 2.5K on a tune from MMS either so will wait until something comes up. |

Sounds like boost cut.. but mate, PLEASE do not drive the car like that until you get it tuned.. or at least go back to the stock exhaust (or just cat back) until that time.
My wife's MY09 has an X-Force cat back that fits absolutely 100% perfectly, and has not thrown any CEL's or caused overboosting. The turbo back part is the bit that causes the problems with the ECU! |
