48668, AFX UPD even though goin turbo ??? Posted by MmmDeion, Apr-08-03 12:48 PM
Subject line says it all... Just wonderin if I should do it or not, ive looked online and heard mixed things about it... Ill be boostin (hopefully) by June, so I dont want to waste money on a UDP if im just gonna have to remove it... :thumbsup

why would you have to remove the UDP to turbo? they're not mutually exclusive

not sure if im understanding you correctly... do you have the udp already? or are you planning on getting one?
if you have it now, and are going turbo.. keep it.. if you are unsure of getting it b/c will be going turbo.. get it.. :)
either way, udp will have no adverse affects w/ or w/o the boost. as with most other supporting mods, you should see greater gains from the udp with boost.

Just don't add to many power sucking gadgets to your ride.

some turbo guys take it off after going turbo because they were having problems running it AND the DFI. The DFI needs a constant 12V energy source and with the UDP underdriving the alt, it messed things up. Of course if you opt for the 8-injector set up over the DFI you wont have to worry about that

Does the voltage drop under 12 at high rpm w/ a af-x udp?

--- This was the problem that I thought I might run into... I dont have a UDP right now, but I was considering one, until I read into this happenin with the turbo guys... Maybe I asked this question in the wrong forum...

well at high rpms the UDP wont affect the voltage output of the altenator, just at idle.
