I'd think it would be better to use some sort of chipped ECU with mods such as those, the VAFC might not be able to push them to their full potential, but it would def give u some gains. Damn having an auto makes getting the right chipped ecu harder for you tho.

There's no point to put a VAFC-II on without a minimum of I/H/E/P at least in my opinion. You won't get much out of a tune otherwise

I never really focused on pullies. But they do add an extra few horses by lightening the engine work. maybe i'll look into those soon.

its the size of the pulley that technicaly affects the charging system. smaller pulley, less rotation but i have underdrive pulleys and my alternator charges fine at 14.4. lowest it will drop is 13.6 while blasting the sound system

That's the only part I couldn't get a killer deal on, the whole rest of my car parts were pretty much all wholesale and cost prices

actually you do install it, and depending on your wiring experience i'd say its a 3 out of 5 in difficulty to install. They give you the wiring diagrams and where to plug it into, but sometimes finding where to put the right plugs and whatnot can be a pain. I just let my mechanic install it.

You have to wire it to the ecu, they sell wiring harnesses that are plug and play but they're like $200 i'm waiting to buy one of those
