I am currently running JB4 Map 1 w/ downpipe. I am considering switching to EQT Stage 2 when their boost weather sale goes live. My car sees fairly frequent track time, so managing oil and coolant temps is more of a concern than raw power output, which brings me to the following question. The EQT tune will give me about 60 more HP than I currently have. More power = more heat. However, as I understand it, EQT's tunes also modify the ECU to run the cooling systems more aggressively than stock, and tend to run a little rich, which helps bring down oil temps. Is the increase in heat (due to more power) negated by the cooling functions the EQT tune provides? Or am I going to end up with a car that runs even hotter than it currently does? For those who have gone from JB4 to EQT, did you notice lower oil temps during hard driving?
Only other engine mods are FMIC, modified airbox and upgrade PCV plate.
