You dont have a VVT turbo.
Fleece has developed a controller for the LB7 though. May end up costing more than its worth. Look into other aftermarket turbos, VVT isnt all its cracked up to be

Good eye. I didnt notice.



You will see little to no benefit running a Quad tuner. EFILive would be a must.

I personaly dont like them. The pedestal is restrictive, Drive pressures are unreal when pushing them to the max, they sound stupid, the vanes surge at high boost....

EFI is the best tuning tool period. It's potentials are unlimited.
