>I've read here and elsewhere that the larger HFMs are useless when used on Paul.. "general consensus" won't help you here... We've tested larger (Euro) HFM's on OBD-II vehicles and they do nothing but separate you from your money.. Because the meter is designed for a different "mounting position" and when placed in the std. place in an OBD-II BMW 6 cylinder they become position sensitive.. Simply rotating the meter around it's longitudinal axis changes the transfer curve. I believe Suzy (or her mechanic) found this out while reinstalling the turbo with a Euro HFM installed.. (Suzy??) We modified the software live in Sacramento.. once finished, it did no better than intake system alone. Save your money and stick with the intake you have... buy your friend(s_ a steak and a beer instead (OK.. a weeks worth, for what it costs) Jim Conforti |
