My current mod is 3" HKS exhaust, Blitz downpipe, Trust oil cooler, std intercooler, std ECU. Intend to upgrade to HKS Type S intercooler + Boost Controller soon.

What would you think is next best upgrade, ECU or Turbo first? I am not looking for high HP but more streetable power when the need arises. From what i know is the std ECU won't boost more that 0.8bar.

If it was ECU, should i go for F-Con Vpro or Power FC? Pls factor in cost also.

If turbo, should it be HKS GT-RS or HKS 2835? What are the characteristic for both turbo compared? intend to boost 1.0bar for daily driving. Need advice...thx in advance :)

What you guys think of the FCon V Pro? I know some prople who can bring the Japs and tune but quite costly. But it has one function that once the A/F is fixed to a certain amount, whatever boost you run the fuel will be optimized for it.

I like Power FC but is it easy to learn to tune by myself on the road or dyno? :)

1. In order for the FCon V Pro to "self tune" it would need a wide and fast lambda sensor and extensive interpretation hardware and software. I have not seen any evidence of that.

2. If you have a stand alone A/F metre there is no reason why you couldn't tune any (tunable) ECU on the road

:) cheers :D

IMO, and sure this will be flamed by many other forum members, I just don't agree with buyign a powerfc, paying 500 for a tune, and then having to tune it again after you get your turbo.

I am still saving at the moment to collect all the parts I need and then i'm going to do them all in one hit.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
