GTI vs ‘21 Ford Exploder Platinum

[JerseyDrew77]

More than enough to get me in trouble


Disclaimer - I am not saying 400whp is the ideal amount of horsepower. More is ALWAYS better.

Ain't that the truth! I think I'll be statisfied when I have a 3000 hp car.

I think I am starting to slow down a bit. Want more luxury in my older age.

Sounds like you need an RS6

Who doesn't?

By pump gas you mean non e85? If so all we have is 93 here.

 

[daconchslop]

Yes. 93 is the better of the pump gas tunes. Speak with @Escape Hatch about his setup. It’s spicy for bare necessities.

 

[uberdot]

I was really only considering going is38 if/when big turbo.

 

[Daks]

I have to go single dad who makes less than 6 figures and rents a house BT. Pumps required?

I think best route for that is what @Escape Hatch did. XL, HPFP and 93. No other fuelling etc…. Spools later but you get balls deep power.

Semantics but most people don't consider is38 a big turbo.

True. Which is why he got recommendations for hybrid and beyond. Is38 is good to go with just a Sneeky OTS map.

Thanks y’all. I appreciate the recommendations but I won’t be able to afford a “real” big turbo with all the fixins’ and chitlins for a few years, unless Cardano or Solana go to the moon. What kinds of numbers does IS38 and EQT maps push with just 93?

You can expect around 360 HP from an IS38 and EQT tune on 93 at the wheels.

I don’t believe EQT has put out any OTS is38 tunes for GTI. You would be getting a custom tune which I why I mentioned Sneeky.

@daconchslop is correct. EQT is doing beta testing for an OTS tune for an IS38 and Sneeky does have one now. I'm running an IS38 temporarily and got the Sneeky OTS IS38 tune and it's very good.

I figured this is a good place for this
