Default Stage 0 with S/C reflash?

Just curios but wouldn't running the zpi stage zero kit at 6 psi and reflashing the ecu for the trd S/C yeild a better tune if you had s/c size injectors and be safer than no tune at all? Just thinkin i'm sure somone has tryed this before or though about it?

well, i don't know if that is healthy for your tc, since it is supposed to run on the stock ecu, but if you need to set your ecu back to stock, contact garage1217, he knows how to set the ecu back to stock, and he tells people for free nowadays.

No my thing is i've been looking at the 07 supercharger but it I feel its still way to much money for 200whp, when i could get a stage 0 and be way faster. The stage 0 just scares me because it contradicts all the facts about turboing n/a cars (meaning no tuning what so ever) thats why i was asking if the trd reflash would in fact be a way better tune as its designed for 7psi and larger injectors?

turbo and super are different breeds of forced induction. if that is all you are worried about, just do what most people with the stage 0 do, get the optional emanage with a base map already on it. use that and get it tuned. you'll be safe.

you should also get a bov, you don't need bigger injectors, but it couldn't hurt.

You can get the optional emanage, but ive been boosted with the stage 0 kit for about 2 weeks now and i have no additional manangement, the car runs fine and pulls pretty hard without it. I have an aem wideband and my afrs at WOT are generally in the low to mid 11 range which is pretty descent from what i have heard and researched. It is safe on the stock ecu, you only need to worry about part throttle boosting, but the car is very driveable without part throttle boosting. You can stay in vacuum and still take the motor 2 redline without boosting, it all depends on your driving habit. Besides that it is pretty safe. I have not had a problem,and i LOVE IT!!

The Texas car would be subject to more heat and a harsher environment, and runs safely with no management. To me that means a car in Ohio with no management would be even safer than a car in TX with no management.

No, A car in Ohio has to deal with winter and dense air which can lean out the car.
