Stock manifold. Does Uni custom tune their big turbo tunes? That's what the guy from a Uni dealer said. If so can you choose how much power you wanna run?

AEM TruBoost. I am getting my Greddy Profec tomorrow, I'll provide feedback once installed.

what?!?!?! back up a little... stock manifold?
i'm glad you said it, because i was about to say the same thing. the tune is not ok without a lot of stuff to back it up. yes you have to be able to log, but that won't make it work. it will only show you why it's not working, and what you need to do to make more power out of it. a big turbo tune is optimized for your setup, point blank. using a different tune is half-assing it. if you can't do it right, wait. but you will definitely need an ebc/meth to make it work and timing adjustment to make a lot more power. and another tune to run bigger injectors if you choose to go that route. RGTI i know youre adamant about the route you took but it's just not that simple.
you cannot use the stock manifold. do more research. there are inexpensive ways of going big turbo, but you can't just swap turbos and go if that's what you're trying to do.
9 posts. uni stage 2. he's probably never seen his turbo before.
i also think it's weird that he thinks the tune is what increases power and running a stage 2 tune will keep it lower
he needs to read up. or call some tuners and ask what they can support/recommend.You talking intake manifold or exhaust? The exhaust manifold is the ATP stock location manifold

The ECUs in our cars are smart. There really isn't a whole hell of a lot that gets changed from file to file. Why do you think RGs car runs without blowing up.

First of all let me just say that I'm new to the VW world obviously, and I'm trying to learn and ask people their opinions and see what they're running and what they prefer and what I can do and what everything will do. That's the point of this forum correct? So I mean if you're not gonna say anything useful then don't even bother saying something. These guys are being nice and answering my questions and helping me out, you're not. You're just being a douche

The very first question you have to answer for yourself is what your budget is. Then you can look at your goals.

Then you need to be clearer with some information because half a dozen people reading your posts thought you were getting a great deal on a GT30 turbo only to install on a stock exhaust manifold haha.
You also have to take a bit of a ribbing from folks, I know I have but I've learned so much at the same time. :thumbup:
I am getting a good deal. When he said manifold I just kinda thought of intake manifold. Not exhaust manifold so my bad for making that mistake. Money isn't an issue though. I make plenty off it. The whole point of me coming on here is to find out what I can do with the GT30 to keep it around 400hp or a little lower. I'm not looking to build a monster
