for the record, i see the obvious advantages of a stand alone, in the appropriate scenario. i just don't see it on a street 968, at least not yet. i'm certainly open though to being proven wrong.
it is not bad form to call into question unsubstantiated claims of a product. this is not personal, nor do i have anything to gain by asking questions. frankly i am stunned that nobody else is asking them.
again, whether or not your particular location subjects you to the kind of testing that we have here or not, and whether or not somebody gets away with things or not, is irrelevant. you cannot make claims that it WILL pass, when it is illegal. that is just plain foolhardy. that is why those of us who actually run legitimate businesses have to make the disclaimer "not legal for use on any highway on any pollution controlled vehicle". it's a pain in the butt, and i wish we only had to pass the tail pipe test, but that just isn't how it works.
regardless of what results on a 924 turbo, or any 944, this is a thread specifically about a system for the 968. to date, there have been NO charts or any indications that this is any better in result than what we currently have seen ON A 968. why not? doesn't it do what is claimed?
the 968 is NOTHING like the previous cars when it comes to tuning. that has been proven time and again by those of us who specialize in the 968. the entire top end is completely different, and results in a lot of complications that limit performance gains from tuning. even simple things, like free-flow exhausts, show huge torque losses on the 968, where they did nothing like that on the 944. there is ample proof of this already out there, including stand alones. that's why i asked for some PROOF. if you have tuned so many of them, why not show us results? if it's better, show us.
for the record, i don't make or sell any chips for normally aspirated cars, and have no intention of doing so. there are already a number of them out there, and there just isn't enough of a gain to be had to justify putting another one into the market.
as for the CEL, one of the big improvements made in the 968, over the previous models, was the incorporation of the on board diagnostics and CEL. like modern cars, this is a huge advantage in maintenance. codes pop up on the dash, telling us something is wrong. we then can easily run a blink test and see if there is anything amiss. it goes beyond tuning. this is a huge advantage to 968 owners, and not one they are likely to give up. do we have to give this up with your system?
i'd love to see this work. it would fill a very large void in the market. show us some proof.
as the owner of the world's largest and most active 968 specific website, i represent over 2000 active 968 owners. i have a duty and responsibility to those members to vet vendors and products. it seems logical to provide the answers to my questions, if you want sales from that group.
