TL_V70 General driving no, does seem to pull a bit harder up in the rev range tho. I find the 18T laggier than the 16T which is expected on stock boost on an auto. Everything is standard tho including boost. When I decide on which AFR gauge I want (plx or aem) I will fit my injectors and bigger MAF and finish off my tune off from VAST TUNING same as JIMBO @Jamest5r_ then see how we go lol.
AEM is what I would recommend, very simple to wire up considering your background ? and doesn't need and fresh air calibration, and I would also recommend having the wideband control added to the ecu if you didn't already purchase it, Aaron just sends a file to download costs about $100,that also is easy to wire up just 1 wire needed, you will need an old lambda connection plug.
