lower the boost?! i will do no such thing. i think my diff is going though...hopefully, it just needs a fluid flush.

rollbar and some safety stuff are my priority mods. after that i'll probably get some gc coils and some nice tires. those xp10s skip gave me must have balanced out the extra weight of the s/c stuff, cause it felt pretty good under braking.

IP did a good job tuning the car, pulls very linear with minimal changeover.

arghghgh, i just need more money. i'll just buy one s for dd, one s for track, and one s for dyno queen purposes.

I bought the SC from PTuning in NOVA (where i should of had it installed and tuned) and it was 5300 for the polished unit.

 

oh so it was brand new? well that's good...rules out the possibility the blower might be bad...

 

^^ Thats what i was thinking.

 

That happens alot.

 

what does?

 

Blower goes bad after awhile. But not new

 

The Vortech Unit, fresh out of the box with the factory "Black Box" will net you more Hp and torque than what you have now.

Since you've already opted for the AEM EMS (i'm assuming the 1052 or 1052U), you might as well take it to a place that has experience with the s2000's ex. P-Tuning or Inline Pro. Trust me, you make think it's too far but the towing alone (if you had to go that route), would be cheaper than having to re-tune your car properly or possible damage from someone that's gaining thier experience while trying to tune your car.

Proper tuning with what you have right now, will bring you into the 300hp range with your factory Pulley.
Good Luck and don't worry, all is not lost. There are plenty of us that have S/C (with AEM EMS) that have no issues with them.

 

It came in a big brown box. Hmmm. But I plan on making that trip anyways. I know now that i should have just bit the bullet and gone up there in the first place.

 

trust us when we who have already gone FI say...

IF YOU DON'T PAY A LOT NOW, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY PAY MORE LATER
