Can't decide which is the next poison to take... Any recommendations? Both seems to be enhancing electrical parts to provide more power for the trottle.. Which one more worth the money? Haiz...

Seems that you are into performance enhancement nowadays. Saw your few threads on mods. VSD is to increase the voltage supply to the ignition coil to 16V/18V, while the rest remains at 12V. Perhaps you may want to find out how the PC works before deciding which one to install.

Picanyeo, yah.. Juz wana have a better boost to my pickup. Installed throttle controller recently but that only increase sensitivity to my pedal..Tot VSD might do a Bette job but worry damage to engine coz cannot take too high Volt. PC I not sure exCtly how it works so I need advice f pple here.. Fr what I heard it abt PC, it seems to enhance charging of alternator and prevent power loss due to electrical components, n it is more expensive than VSD!
Dillatimer, my colt plus not Ralliart turbo la.. Chiong one.. Normal 1.5L haha..

I think you already have a hurricane panel filter. Why don't you consider doing CAI or something? Can approach whitesnail for advice. He will give you a good CAI setup.
After that, you can consider ECU QF if you want. This will lean out the a/f ratio plus giving you a better overall feel. Then you can change to premium plugs and aftermarket cables.
The mods above are tested and proven by many pple. Although CAI doesn't do much, but it's the most common way to complement an airbox.

I tot of CAI as well.. But it seems a bit pricey for an effective setup..Not to say ECU QF haha..

PC like not much said about it leh do post if u manage to get more info!
i dinno what's the diff between "responsive" and "power" until i did grounding. it made my car more responsive but stl lau hong flat.
thn i flashed my car and it's no longer lau hong. i think it's really worth the monies
BUT i dunno is it just the QF powerful or a combination of all the things done so far and i not so hardcore as to dekit and test one by one

Cost is one issue, but whether it is worth paying for that mod is another issue which is of more importance.

Just do QF with immediate results. I tested dekitting it before. Quite a difference without QF...i feel like i cannot survive without as i get use to the 'power.
Kwoni, I agree with Picanyeo to direct your resources for other items to improve your responsiveness of your ride.
Save up for QF flash(not sure colt have data or not) or CAI.
I tried before VSD and VS. Dekit them off also dun miss them now.
My current setup no VSD, no PC and no VS also feel responsive leh....haha

I agree.. PC is still unknown to me and although there are alot of pictures showing pple installing the device on their rides, I still do not know the working principles. But seems to me PC is quite effective based on the feedbacks of pple who installed it. There's another brand called UTR power charger. I believe it works in the same way as PC. I feel it's the hurricane air filter, QF and iridium plugs that contribute the most to your ride.

So that means it got something to do with alternator and battery. How long have you installed it? few weeks or months? Any change in the improvement?

I installed VSD in my car and after some months, my car suddenly couldnt start one morning. So much hassle couldnt send my kids to sch, must get tow truck, send to HM to check thought something else wrong, in the end discovered it was VSD. After disconnecting it, car back to normal. Big regret wasted my $$ on VSD. Never again!! Anyway, didnt feel any gain at all with VSD. Never tried PC though.

For my case, i suspect the VSD cause the misfiring of one of my spark plug making it break into 2.... car nearly cannot move....

Then I should check the condition of my plugs. Used it for 20,000km before dekit.

That's one main worry for VSD... Spoil ur Plug/piston... Pay more for repair.. Not worth it... Anybody knows more abt PC? Any pros n cons of it?

Come to think of it... If VSD spoil.. Ur plug sun get the current.. Car wun move... PC spoil.. The most is charging back to normal.. Car will not stall right... If I understand the logic correctly.. In my opinion PC is more of improving overall drive like pickup, electricals and battery life... While VSD is purely on pickup by up voltage...

I've looked at the installation of the PC. Seems like I'm wrong when I said the third point is connected to the alternator. The pictures showed all 3 points on the battery terminals itself.
So far, we know the benefits of the PC, but still don't know how it works.
