Stillen TruControl

[Thefunk]

Stillen says 70 bhp and 86 wtq, depending on altitude and fuel. Because they're in California, they ran these numbers using 91 octane, so expect a few more houses from 93.

House Power! A new unit of measure!

I've been noticing a lot of TruControl and Hotbox owners who complain about issues with the engine performance and health on the FB forums. I think I know why this is happening.

Z1 and Stillen should've explained that in order to get great CONSISTENT performance from these units you NEED to have an upgraded Heat Exchanger!!

There's a reason I don't run Map7 on my car but now that I have the CZP Heat Exchanger I will give it a try. It works amazing with the mid maps(4/5) with the upgraded h/x in very humid 90+ degree F temps in Georgia.

And most of the people complaining of issues are those with the stock h/x during summer time horrific temperatures.

So to those that don't have issues what Map are you using? Do you have a upgraded h/x?

Nothing you posted is correct according to Stillen and their advertisement or video explaining this product. I have no mods besides exhaust. I've been on map 7 since 1200 miles and currently approaching 10k miles. No issues, no complaints.

Are you on the FB forums? Do yourself a favor and check them out and you will see what I mean. You may be an anomaly but many people are complaining about issues using the unit, especially at Map 7. But think about it logically? If you're running more boost and power you will also need more COOLING to offset the increase in the other two. It's basic science.

Being in Houston, he is absolutely heat-soaking his heat exchanger. Heck, I was when bone stock before any mods at all.
