Okay so this has been bugging me for quite a while, there seems to be so many different oppinions. I have heard people say that with FI cars, that any compotent tuner will turn the traction control off, and I have many say that something about it causes detonation, and then others say that this isn't true.

I know with Oxfordgt, he asked about a knock sensor that doesn't reduce timing, it just alerts you when there is detonation (BTW I couldn't find the exact part number, I called the guys up and they are going to email it to me), so is Traction control good, or bad?

 

i believe that you should turn it off cause i know i do everytime i get in the car..im sure im gonna say what u have heard but when t/c kicks in it cuts off the fuel supply so just imagine if u try to get on it or are in boost and u have no fuel goin to the motor? no good and i cant imagine how it would be good to keep it on other of course traction but once again i turn mine off first thing when i get in the car

 

yeah, thats what I was wondering, I have heard people say that it cuts fuel, which is easy to see why its bad, but I have heard others say that it just reduces timing, which I don't think is bad. I just ain't sure, I wanted to see if anyone was

 

when you trip traction control im pretty sure it cuts timing. ive had mine off perminantly via xcal2 since august.

 

mines off permanently too, I was just wondering

 

yea i heard it was just the timing but im not sure about the fuel.i only leave it on when its raining.

 

SHM says it cuts fuel. They blew up their very first S/C new edge by not turning off T/C

 

awesome, that was just what I was wondering. Thank You very much
