HKS VPC

I was able to obtain an old school HKS VPC speed density conversion in a trade with a local dsmer. It came with the 550 chip, all the sensors and is in mint shape. The car drives SO much better with the VPC now.

Now this solves a few of my current issues in one chunk. the Dejon intake and bov position weren't working out so well for recirculating the bov back to the intake, so I had been driving the car with the intake capped and BOV vented to atmosphere. Let me say that is utter crap for drivability with the car stalling at stoplights and running horrendous rich at part throttle.

My plan is to change over to DS-Map tuning soon which will replace the AFC/VPC/keydiver chip/2Gmaf combination with simply a map sensor and AIT sensor and an Ostrich eprom emulator device that allows a laptop to change the fuel and timing maps within the ecu on the fly. Standalone tuning power with the native ECU, speed density. Great, simple, and cheap.

Ill need to order some aluminum bends and a generic K&N filter to make a new intake pipe soon, but Im going to hold off until I figure out what Im going to do for intercooler piping. The next parts car I'm buying has nicer pipes, so I may use them with a different routing.
