Tune for stock X50
 
Is it worth spending money to have a stock X50 tuned? Will there be noticeable gains without adding an exhaust system?

Yes, i will be very noticeable. Get a Cobb AP from Sambo at By Design Auto and he will take care of you. The tune is easy to load and unload if you want.

^^^agreed

But just do an OTS tune for now. Then get a custom mafless tune once you add fender intakes, intercoolers and exhaust.

I have an X50 with exhaust, 1 bar WG actuators, Forge intercoolers and a custom 1.1 bar tune from Sambo Via the Cobb AP. Can't imagine that i need more power, all i could wish for was a little quicker spool. On the track i hold my own with the 600+ hp vetts. While they are managing wheel spin in the lower gears i am pedal to the metal and pulling away, they reel me back in by the end of the straight though.

Wow, sounds like a tune alone will be a lot of bang for the buck. Would 50hp and 50 lb tq be a reasonable expectation?

Third-Reef 08-15-2018 04:48 PM

I think so. Sams the man @Bydesign Auto check with him for a real answer.

Go for it !
SAM IS THE MAN for the job..

toyotabike 08-16-2018 08:47 AM

You guys would use Sam over Markski for the tune?

Third-Reef 08-16-2018 09:49 AM

Can't go wrong with ether one. I chose Sambo because he is left coast:)

Hi gentlemen. Thank you for the support everyone. Off-the-shelf software alone will get you almost 70 hp and on some cars more. Custom tuning allows us to take it vantage of the exhaust and specific configuration. Of course also all the benefits you get from dialing in a specific car and our awesome MAFless System that people love. I would love to have the opportunity to set you up. We can do forum pricing and you’ll have my full guarantee! Feel free to reach out anytime

I am interested! I have an X50 cab with 23k. While I didn’t buy it to store for sell later I also don’t want to significantly diminish its value. Does the tune impact?

What part of CA are you in? Pls PM me.
