split second turbo tuner?

Zeph · 07-08-2011, 10:16 PM

I used the SSTT for a couple of years, about 25k miles or so. It is great for what it is intended to do. Takes less than 1 minute to install or uninstall, adds about 40 rwhp and 50 rwtq, makes the car much quicker in the mid-range for sure. I enjoyed it until I wanted more power

I know I've gotta get a real tune to really feel a difference.

Have you seen a difference in power yet? I just installed JB+ this weekend and BOY, can I feel a pull. 1st and 2nd gear traction issues galore, and 3rd and 4th is sick

All this in 90 degree temps!

If I have noticed a difference, its mainly under ~4500 rpm. I was merging onto the interstate yesterday and in 3rd gear it seemed to pull hard, but the car wasn't exactly slow before the install.I've givin a couple passengers a ride and neither could definately say if there was a difference or not.

jb+ can go more boost and is adjustable. Its usually runs about twice as much. But be warned, if you buy one of these, you will be back for more in less than 6 months.

Battery disconnect isn't required for SSTT install; just open the hood, then lock the car and let it sit for an hour. After that, install the SSTT by unplugging the manifold pressure sensor and plugging the SSTT in between. When that's done, unlock the car and it should be ready to go. If yours is the adjustable one, you can unscrew the cover on the rear of the unit, which has a longer cable to allow for mounting it where it's accessible, and use a small screwdriver to adjust between 0 (stock boost) and 100 (about 4 PSI over stock).

I had the SSTT original installed a few weeks ago and it completely messed with my car. I kept getting waste gate and over boost codes. I returned it to TurnerMS and got my money back. It was installed correctly and the ecu was "asleep". JB+ will be my next purchase...
Since I am still under warranty, do you guys really remove your hardware upgrades prior to routine maintenance?

You should really just save your money and get JB4, Procede, or Cobb. Especially if you plan on adding more power mod's such as DP's or intercooler.

Inevitably you will want to upgrade again. You mine as well go straight for some real tunes. Let me know if I can assist you any further. You will be happy knowing you wont be wasting your time.

You probably have had your HPFP replaced, therefore you must have the latest software (ISTA 32.2). The latest software seems throws codes with JB+, and SSTT, at all settings. You have to do the solenoid by pass which is located on page 5 of this install guide:

As for the advice on going for JB4/COBB, or any other extreme tune, it would be wise of you to set aside at least 5K in savings, because you WILL be replacing stuff soon with the more extreme tunes. Word to the wise.

sweet08 · 08-22-2011, 01:29 PM

I had the LPFP and HPFP changed (2nd time its been done) right before I installed the SSTT. I already sent it back.
I'm more focused on an exhaust and halo upgrade.
With the JB4 do you guys leave it in when you go in for routine maintenance. I feel it would be a pain to remove/install each time.
