Thread: Poweraxel...my little black box...lol

Wait what'd you get, The reflash unit? If so can you explain the steps from buying it to having it work on your car? I'm a little confused to what you have to ship in to poweraxel and what all you have to do on the computer with it =\

nope the power axel unit hooks up to your OBD port under the steeringwheel, it does a update on your ECU in about 10 seconds, and you unplug it and enjoy your new settings...

How you put the old program back, incase something happen to your engine?..Everybody knows that factory turbo comes with load of gas, or to be more specific. They are being run in the Rich Mode..Yes if you can fine tune the fuel/air mix on this vehicle in will give you more power. Just make sure that its not traceable incase something goes wrong. I have a vehicle that I declined warranty because he has a NOS system. He did removed everything but stupid enough to leave the brackets in the trunk and just put some blankets over it. The bracket is bolted down to the side of the trunk. He removed all lines and electronic switch thou'...

So as soon as you received it you just took it out the box, plugged it in and held the button down and you were done? Is it really that simple?

yeah youtube it, someone on this site posted their install

yes its that simple...and its that simple to go back to the oem tune. its probably the best 800 bucks you can spend...period!

And two more questions then I'm sold . IT says 91 and 93 octane rating on 2 of the different programs.. do you HAVE to use that octane when filling up or is that just recommended for best performance? Secondly, I have an Injen CAI installed... will this effect anything at all?

when you buy you get a custom flash, they'll ask you what all your mods are and spec it to that. It's not as perfect as an on the dyno flash but it's better than assuming full stock.

don't know about the octane.

Thanks snoopy. Don't know what to do in the future about it though, I do plan on getting turbo-back exhaust next =\.
By the way, has anybody seen this ??

They apparently have the Reflash module and I don't know if you guys have a stop watch around like I did but the "Before" pull was roughly 7.6 However, the "After" ran up to about 8 or 9 seconds..? The third and final pull was back down to 7.6 or 7.7... dunno i guess they threw the 1st pull back in for the end. My question is.. what gives? that's definitely no upgrade in my book. Or is it just that the ECU has to have some time to reset?
