I'm really new to this...been researching this...combing thru the forums and I hate being that guy to post another but I had some specific questions besides which one is better...I saw on the forums people mentioning that hondata only does a +6 psi where as ktuner could do a +21 psi...and if you were to use econ mode the turbo would run at stock psi, if i was worried about longevity of the turbo is that +21 psi going to really shorten the life span of the turbo? I ask because I've also seen people say that hondata has been around longer and test test test their mappings while ktuner does not really as much (these posts varied from like 2013-2018 so things may have changed). So for someone worried about some thing like this besides not flashing the ecu which company be better for trusting that flashing with their mappings won't cause earlier life failure/life span? Also the price difference is a decent amount I noticed from around 600ish or so for hondata and ktuner around 400.
I was also looking at a stock looking "CAI" from injen that fits in the same stock sport of the air intake, INJEN EVOLUTION COLD AIR INTAKE SYSTEM - EVO1500, If i were to purchase this which i'm not sure i'd call a CAI but it's what it's being referred to as, and used the hondata tuner that has the +6psi cai, would that be the one I'd use...or is that referring to more of a actual CAI...
Do these just tune the turbo...or do they also help reduce throttle lag for drive by wires? Reason I ask is has anyone ever looked into the pedal commander or injen x-pedal throttle controller that is supposed to help reduce drive by wire lag? It has different settings that help increase throttle response for like sport and eco etc...i know our cars have the econ button and sport but does that help with the throttle lag, or just changes the transmissions interaction?
Sorry for all the questions...probably will have more but like I said very new to this..and am lost in all of it...I'd just like if I went with a flash unit something that allows me to flash an already made mapping (if that's the wrong word let me know) that is known to work...and not into tuning and trying to make my own because I'd rather not risk causing issues and i'd prefer to just do myself with easy flash versus' taking to someone....if possible...
