get rid of the vafc, probably the worst thing to tune a car with! it messes with your ecus head so to speak.

15 pounds on a stock internal b16? What turbo also? 15 pounds is a lot different on a t25 then a gt42r. let us know your set-up so we can help you out more

man thanks for pointing that out to me i won't be sending them the money now i'll just have to take a negative feedback i guess but thanks man and you said that 15 psi was too much, it is too much for what that turbo or the motor? because i know a few people who are running 15 on stock internals and one who runs 12 on a stock d15 with 220,000 miles. and would a "real" t3/t4 turbo be a good choice for a b16? thanks again

A real T3/T4 would be good, but you have many options as far as trims are concerned. You can run 15psi, but it won't be as relaible as say 10 psi on a B16. I would reccomend staying around 10 psi on a b16 with a T3/T4, and maybe turning it up on the dyno to get some numbers, but 10 on the street is fine.

Also good choice in management is uberdata or crome.
