What do you mean? I think you thought I was referring to PnP used with a 2.4 swap or something like that I was just talking about with high compression piston turbo setup not the other crazy setup stuff he was talking about with engine swaps.

Exactly.

Those who can't handle the installation of a non-PnP tuning tool should seriously reconsider their build goals. There is really minimal-to-zero aftermarket support for 2GNT 420A tuning, so if you don't want to learn to install the one proven tuning package, then don't bother building a powerful 2GNT, as it's only going to end in tears.

10.5:1CR with forced induction is doable. Keep a close eye on your AFR and EGTs. The ability to adjust ignition timing will be paramount. I would suggest anyone with serious aspirations for their forced induction 2GNT to make MS one of their first purchases. Even on a stock 2GNT, you can become familiar with tuning and see the benefit of improved economy, which will save you money between fill-ups.

I disagree with this statement. I would not try and tackle a full non PnP MSnS install even though with enough time and research I know I could probably do it I wouldn't. Yet I know how to tune and the key things to look for when tuning. I tuned my 90 tsi with dsmlink(similar to PnP MSnS) and it took me all of 10 minutes to install.

My suggestion wait for MSnS PnP get a wideband with logging capabilities and a egt gauge and the sky is the limit with tuning capabilities. Not to mention the fastest 420a on here with the exception of Hahn's car is a turbo 420a with portfueler(PnP)
