I'll second that - Fastlane is a reputable company that makes some quality parts for turbo motors. With that said, 30HP out of their tuner is a bit disappointing in comparison to what's already out there.

I'd like to see the dyno sheet, know more about how you change maps, other options like tire size, gears, trans shifting, speed limiter, etc. along with the install/uninstall of the unit. Please post or point us to as much info as possible.


To have has something that (as long as you uninstall it) doesn't void the warranty would be a big plus, based on performance of course. Even so, I'd give up a bit in the HP race vs other tuners just for the warranty not being void. But, it does need to work right. No issues like have been seen with some other tuners.

That's right, it would s**t out a Platinum Panda that is 50 quadrillion times better than any simple ECO Panda!! It would be the master of all, it would conquer the known planets and even maybe power the next generation of manned spacecraft to go to Uranus!! The realm of reality would be matched by nothing more than the imagination!!

I have read up on the torture and inspection after abuse they put on a 3.5 eb, variations of temperature ranging from -20 to 235! degrees. After testing was all said and done it had a 13% loss on one valve, cylinder compression was all gravy. Ive made a promise to my self to build a 3.5 eb tube chassis street/sand toy, as it shouldnt be too hard to find a wrecked car/truck here in vegas not worried about the motor its bulletproof IMHO lol. I wont be as limited on space as most of your factory rides, so my plans are to build up some easier breathing turbo headers, find a bigger I/C, bump up the boost a little bit, run factory computer and fuel system with a tune and depending on further inspection might build an all aluminum intake plenum rather than dealing with that composite plastic garbage. Im not looking for a 800 hp monster v6 for a 1400 lb chassis so im going for the 450-500hp range shouldnt be too difficult
