Question Installing K16/K24 Hybrids...need Software advice...Sponsors/Tuners enter

Ok gang, I have a pair of Speed Gallery zero-clearance k16/k24 hybrids sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. I'm at Stage 2 currently (GIAC flash, intake, exhaust, diverters, port headers) and will be getting a baseline dyno on Saturday. I've been doing some research and I'm not sure who's got the best software for my needs...either GIAC, FVD, Vivid Racing, etc... A little input in terms of software recommendation would be appreciated guys.

Those sound like Kevin's turbos. He probably has THE file.

I thought Kevin only does the K18/K26 hybrid turbos... These are Speed Gallery hybrids that I picked up from a fellow member.

from my personal experience the k16/24 hybrids are very sensitive to overspinning and heat soaking. ok for the occaisional short/quick boosting but not very good for prolonged boosting.

If they're from Speed Gallery, why not get the programming they sell with them? Probably the easiest route.

FVD has a good tune file for that K16/K24. My experience with FVD has been world class, and my car runs strong. I like being able to change tune files with the click of the mouse. Good Luck...see you tomorrow!

Martin,

My K16/24 - 1/4 mile runs linked below are with Speed Gallery 16/24's and FVD stage 4 software. Ask Sam how my car ran with FVD...he said I was getting every ounce of power out of them...and FVD has a pretty attractive deal on their software now. Based on my experience, you can not go wrong with the FVD/Speed Gallery combo.

Martin make sure you are not brain washed, they can be used with other programmes. Listen to John.

If it is indeed are a pair of Zero Clearance Turbos ... and since Kevin @ UMW is the only one that manufactures / fabricates them ... Wouldnt it would be logical and prudent to obtain programming from him, yes? Just my $0.02 ...
