what?...............

No don't you should just get a piggy back and have that tuned after everything is done. If you still want to go with jet you should still wait.

LucciLou

what kinda piggy back? like a stand alone? what ever happened to that Venom 400 Module? was that even a piggy back?

MyLittleIS

just get the Greddy piggy back, its only like 3-400 bucks and is great.

Who's jet? Jet chips? That junk doesn't work on a IS.

If you're turboing your IS you should be looking at a good EMS. piggybacks are ok but AEM standalone is better

MyLittleIS

^ agreed a standalone is a better choice if you are turboing your ride. There is much debate about which is better, each has its benefits and each has its downsides.
Haltech, AEM, Greddy all are very good products, but again research their systems and what are common problems associated with their use.

I know on my.is there were a few threads associated to issues with AEM and Haltech.

MyLittleIS

oh yeah:

STAY AWAY FROM THE CHEAP CRAP LIKE VENOM AND JET CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LucciLou

Ok then....thx 4 the advice u guys good lookin!!

MyLittleIS

yes,,, i am good lookin,,, lol.

what are your main plans for the ride? I can do my best to help you figure out a good route, but there are several routes you can go.

first thing is to figure out REAL application ability. that means in rela life,,, what do are you prepared to do, pay for, want from it.

can you handle a build, can you be prepared for the cost of gas, maintenance, decreased reliability, increased attention from people and police. increased attention while driving to make sure you dont crack a bumper or something.

really think about it, then hit me up

MyLittleIS

i am sure Baadhabit would answer your questions as well and give you some good feed back too.

LucciLou
