Default AVCR will work...

You can tune the boost curve to the point that APR software will swallow it.

Default Agreed. But I do like the revisions ie no F hose, improved mani, tranny slider/syncros, etc...

and the ESP has saved me more than once when I've done some stupid things like a third gear WOT power slide up an on ramp where ESP caught me before I realized how overcomitted I was.

I would like the ability to actually launch without the EDL, especially with Stg3 where some wheelspin would help with the chassis shock I think.

Default I believe you're installing the reason for the diff mod:)

Wait for stage 3 power and see if you change your mind. I think my only mods for next year will be stasis center and rear diffs.

Default Absolutely:

Drain tranny.
Drop middle of exhaust.
Detach Driveshaft shield
Detach driveshaft from tranny, swing to the side.
Unbolt case surrounding driveshaft.
Pull torsen out (no tools, easy.)

Opposite to complete

Default Yea, I retrofitted the Mani, Made my F-Hose the strongest part of my car...

And had redline in my tranny since forever. It drives like new with 92k on it, mostly with a Tanoga

But for a starting point, the newer ones are slightly better, but nothing extraordinary like teh intarweb seems to make it out to be.

Default do you mean limit max boost? that would be equiv. to not working:(

I want to get it installed and working, but not crank boost up until i get water injection going. Tapping into the ecu wires will be a pain, especially if it doesn't work as well as planned.

Default Not necessarily...

You just need to tailor the curve to something that is close enough to the requested of APR's software. Get a TCD if you want to go crazy
