  • There's a few different ways that people can tune their car. Piggyback ECU's, Flash Tuning, or Standalone tuning. I've found that a lot of people don't know the difference between these methods and the benefits or drawbacks of each choice. So we decided to make this video in partnership with Cobb to explain the 3 primary methods that people use to tune their cars. Hope you enjoy!

    My three methods are plasti dip, air filter and taking out the spare tire for weight reduction.

    I had the JB1 on my 2016 Golf R and loved it! Amazing power and George from Burger Motorsports was a joy to work with. I now have their JB4 on my 2019 Type-R and its even better thanks to the bluetooth functionality with their app. You can monitor several digital gauges, data log and switch maps on the fly...it's phenomenal and best part again is there is no flash or checksum file left behind on your factory ECU ;b Cobb is a great option too but their OST maps are really prevalent to knock, at least on the Subaru and Evo platform. Pro tunes are definitely the way to go for this route.

But i dont know anything about tuning and the car is just too nice to start replacing hardware. Should i get a standalone ECU to achieve this? My goal horsepower would be 250-300. But i dont know if just a tune could manage this. Any opinions? (The caprice is OBD1 by the way)

Its far too short a range if you get me. Well I mean I need 1st gear to be diffetent in some way,,,,longer or something. It just aint right. But then second to third gear is great etc 😎.... my car sucks but its all I got haha. But for now Id rather upgrade this uno. I like my car. Its fun to upgrade a car.
