If so, unfortunately, no. That second speed sensor is going to be very important to the performance of your car. There is really no way around it. Spending money on other modifications is foolish until you can get your SVX running properly in the first place.

I think Chris is actually James Bond, but he will not be able to admit to it!

I'm not one of the sceptics, but I would like to see real comparatives. I also think the supercharger chip was never going to work without intercooling because of excessive in-cylinder temperatures. So I would like to see Sicksubie's system show some numbers. Joe

Alright, did my Dyno runs today... 6 total... 3 in "stock" form and 3 with the ECUTune upgrade...
The guys at the performance shop said that they'd email me the dyno slips, so I'm just waiting on those before I can post them up... I do remember my numbers after the ECUtune switch though. Not even 5 minutes after installing the chip we did the first pull and the AFR's stayed smack in between 12.4 and 12.7 all the way up to 7,000rpm... Torque was immediate and as flat as Nebraska (ever been there, is it flat?)... The numbers were: Wheel Torque: 191 Wheel HP: 183 Considering that a stock WRX will dyno out at about 165whp, I am quite impressed with the results. Was really hoping to get into the 200's though... I guess I'm going to have to clean out the air filter ... I forgot to mention that I haven't cleaned it in nearly a year So that might have had a negative effect... Either way, The "stock pulls were around, ~180 Wheel Torque and 175 Wheel HP... I have since driven it about 30 miles (I'm still in Wilmington) and everytime I get on it it seems to drive better. The performance is definitely noticable. It isn't a big slap in the face upgrade, but it is a nice return for your $228 spent... I'll post up more in the ECUtune Stage 1 thread when I get the emails from the performance shop... ~ Chris

In practical terms, this shows a gain based on wheel measurement:
6.1% in torque and 4.57% in power.

They look healthy. Thank you for sharing. It will still be nice to see the measured "before" figures versus the measured "after".
Just for comparison.
