[s-cars] MTM Stage 3 Questions

[Mihnea Cotet]

Mark,


IMHO and IME, you can't use another MAF/injector set
with the Stage 3 chipset that has been programmed for
stock units...

Now, guys, don't you find that a horribly expensive to
pay for ONLY 320HP? I mean I can sell you guys a 320
HP chipset for 300 Euro and the 3Bar MAP isn't even
necessary, or 50 Euro extra and you get a 3Bar MAP in
exchange of your stock unit.. and the necessary
hardware (turbo and manifold) is available used for
1100-1500 Euro in Europe... of course used isn't new
but it's still cheaper, especially compared to
Hoppen's chipset at 600$ where they can't even tell
you how and what it's programmed for.


Now of course this is just my opinion...


Mihnea
