you could run two smaller ones, but its easier to tune with just one, I mean a 50mm should be big enough for you

Dont want to think how much my tuning session is going to cost when I fly someone out here. Also looking at an AMS1000 for boost controller.

Cool

It's a combination of both to have great control of your boost. The point of the video is that people say (am getting a bov to make my car faster) meaning it's going to make more power, went it does not make more power, it lets you get to the power easier and faster.

If your NA, the tune is simple with Race Tuner and the AP.

Just a friendly reminder to check your air pressure in your tires now that it is getting cold. Checked mine yesterday and they were down to 27 psi from about 34 when I aired them up when it was hot out late August. You can lose about 1 psi per 10 degrees. And also good tire pressure will help channel the water out from under your tire now that it is raining
