Honestly, I hate the look of the hood scoop, read somewhere thag some people used washers to slightly lift the hood.

It would be running the stock ECU, most people use piggybacks but mine will be kept stock as I'm looking for reliability not performance.

    Or you could try vents? They are more subtle.

    On the contrary I think tuning it makes it more reliable, it’s possible to run a safe tune and lower the boost. Can even retain stock power. May need specialised ECU and specialist for that sort of 3D tuning tho.

    Hopefully not too many issues there and ECU like what you did to the car. I have a few friends with untuned modified car, runs so rich it stinks lol.

    But..muh sleeper. It's being tested this week, we'll see if it has any problems with cooling.

    I wouldn't say the engine is modified though, it originally came in the Daihatsu Mira L5, my cousin bought the halfcut and stuffed it in his car. So the engine is technically "stock" because we didn't do any modifications. I originally thought you meant the orginal ECU as in the one that came in the halfcut.
