Waste of money IMHO. there are better things to spend money on that will actually give you decent power increases

you cannot flash the ecu ... and maybe a vafc (dyno tuned) after intake, headers, pulley, spacers etc...

There isnt one, and the standalones dont make much if any power. I would stick the money into other mods like the UR pulley, headers, intake. They all make alot more power to the wheels

1 - they do have "something"
2 - it will not provide any gains on your car (some people have actually lost power with it)

Listen to the others. Save your money.

Jet Performance Upgrade

The other day I asked if anyone knew how the Jet Performance Upgrade was and all the feedback I got was bad. But I still went out and tried it out. Knowing they were probably wrong. The people who responded to me didn't know what they were talking about. My car burns out now and chirps in 2nd.

go to jetperformance.com. You can also call them. There customer service is good, they will tell you everything you need to know. I would not recommend this upgrade unless you already have, intake, headers, and exhaust though. For my car it was $300

Now I get it. Jet doesn't reprogram your ECU, they just swap out your tires for bald ones.

They probably mess around with your transmission shift program instead of the engine tuning program. Good luck to your tranny.

is there a dyno? any real proof besides possible placebo effects? i am not saying that your BSing, i am just trying hear it out and see if there is any worth for this $300 jet upgrade. from prior posts, it seems that it was useless or detrimental. perhaps they redid the process that was used in the past. you can prove everyone wrong if you had some real facts.

What - you're not happy with the 90+ hp/liter rate (type S w/mods), and want an upgrade to make it 100+?

On a normally aspirated car??? 100 hp/liter was traditionally the domain of turbocharged cars only. A NA car making this kind of HP if fantastic!

If you're making 85+hp/liter on a NA car don't complain. The computer's doing a great job! Compare that to my '94 formula - with under 50 hp/liter....

idiot reply

I wouldn't call myself an idiot, but maybe you could put someone in that catagory if they payed $800 for a unichip. Which does the same thing.

You don't have to be a dick. I really would not like your advise any way. Especailly from someone who own a slow ass tl. Your car wouldn't be as fast as mine even if you supercharded it.



lol...id rather buy a supercharger instead of that pos u bought, ud idnt even dyno it to see it it did any gains u idiot.

2 weeks my car will be nicer than urs and hotter lookin than urs.

Sorry pal, but as much money as you put into your tl. It will always remain a tl. I would not waste my money on up grading it. I would rather ride my bike than drive your pos. There are dyno charts for these upgrades on Jet Performance website.

Talking

Just like any other upgrade the more horsepower your car has to begin with the more horsepower the modification will give you. So they in your case I would not bother making any modifications at all. How fast does your car do 0-60? I am guessing 12 seconds.
