XX Tuning





Always had good luck at XX. Had some issues to iron out from the install (Bad o2 sensor requiring a wasted trip, and a second trip a week later, and an improperly installed boost solenoid by me)

Car is daily driven, auto-xed and drag raced pretty regularly.

Pics and video to come when I upload them....

I need more recent pics, but this is it.

Just remove the JDM fogs and CF lip, and add fog covers, a black front mount, and a v-limited lip

Nice set up and nice results, Chris does great work!

I can't wait to see what I'll put down on my GT3076R .63 a/r...Chris will be tuning me as well.

I considered hugging chris, but I think a handshake was more appropriate.

It was a nerve racking experience.

So, do you miss that torque below 4k for daily driving?

Not sure yet. Its only been a day.

Doesnt seem bad so far, as the 2.5 isn't too dead off boost anyway.

I have to remember to stop short shifting, that my biggest problem so far.

Oh, and I need to move my shift light beep. I always remember when Im driving, and you can only change it sitting still.

Inital reaction is that the massive rush of power at the top end now outweight the massive rush of torque at the low end before.

Auto-x will probably suck now

Damn that thing must be fun! It's nice to hear all the positive feedback from XX customers. Did you find out what they're doing to the car on the lift in that picture?
