Hello everyone. Got my dlc 1019s in the mail this morning from KermaTDI after some trouble with FedEx. Luckily Kerma's customer service is superb and they got me taken care of. But all I can say is wow... Its like a brand new car! I can't wait for a retune and SB Stage 2 endurance clutch. My IQ is around 5.2mg/str and It is smoky on WOT, but isn't really bad at half throttle (where i do most of my driving). I read somewhere not to worry about adjusting IQ until 500 Miles after the install to let the injectors break in? (I guess it kind of makes sense as clutches need a break in time too). Is this correct? Do I even need to adjust the IQ or is 5 about right? I am still running the stock little Gt15 so I am assuming that is where the smoke is coming from. I also have no EGR, no Cat and no mufflers so all particulate goes out the pipe. I was going to try the IQ at 6.0mg if yall agree that it should be moved. Is an EGT gauge a necessity? I do short WOT bursts and never hold WOT uphill or go to 100mph or anything like that. If i had a larger turbo I would for sure get one, but do I need one with my driving style?
Thank you,
Adam
