Besides that, how does your factory engine management go with them?
And as you are saying, you need a whole pile of extra weight.. i-i mean batteries to power it!

I guess you just have to weigh up the situation.
If you ask me, there are no real shortcuts to good power gain, spend the diollars required and put the hard work in and you will be rewarded!

yeah still tricky to tune coz such units are like aircons with electric clutch activation... usually activating at WOT on the TPS or having say a VAFC and using the vtec controller to activate the clutch... but the first method is better as you can have a seperate tune for WOT while the car runs on closed loop while not in WOT.
