LOL perfect answer!! There is WAY to much neg hype bout the VOD. I almost didn't buy a B4 cos of it (neg hype) but I did and its really easy to drive with (around) esp. if u have a manual (it took all of bout 15mins to work out how to drive it). getting it tuned will help, the other option that seems popular is single conversion but IMO just buy it, do what hawks says (change >4000 or <6500) and enjoy the twins!! No it doesn't affect drivability, if anything it makes it more drivable as you have power from 2g onwards instead of having to wait for boost. Cheers Josh |

This is true, and seeing it on dyno sheets and reading about it and the bad hype i have been tentative to purchase a Legacy wagon. Not sure if i would go for a single conversion, but how much do they cost for interest sake? Are there any other ways to minimize the VOD? I have a EMS Dual Sport ecu i purchased last year that was already set up for a Legacy TT. Where is a really good place to take it for a turn in Melbourne (some where, where they know what a legacy is and how to turn it well)... |

by ericmcg on 15-06-09 06:15 PM Never noticed the VOD on my car, it pulls hard right up to the secondary kicking in and then takes off like a bullet |

Because it's tuned as your Sig says, so it's not the AUDM tune anymore. |

by mattbg5 on 18-07-09 02:33 PM My m8s got a b4 and has pretty much eliminated vod, ecutec tune, hks front mount, hks cold air intake, dump pipes and exhaust and a few other bits and pieces, its good from down low to high, which is the advantage of the tts. I think they can be quick cars with the right gear. |

All the TT B4's in Ireland are JDM spec because there are no import restrictions here and garages import them direct from Japan to sell on the forecourt. I test drove a good few before i settled on the one i bought, i did notice a drop off in power in some of them at higher revs before the secondary kicked in but it did'nt feel that big so maybe the Jap spec models dont suffer as badly from the VOD. My car has no VOD at all and pulls hard right through the whole rev range. A mate of mine bought one a few weeks ago after driving mine and loving it. His only had induction kit,cai and full stainless exhaust done when he got it and when he had it put on a dyno last week it was pushing 326 bhp thats just over 40bhp up on what the standard JDM model should have and he tells me that his does not feel as fast as mine. I am gonna have to try and make the time to get mine across and get it checked now because it has a hell of a lot more done under the bonnet than his. |
