haha you supra owners and your twin turbos :P yeah, i couldn't put my foot to the floor with my car either or it just went wide. fun times, gotta love the torque of the 2.5l you'll get it with time, just takes lots of practice and seat time to figure things out. i'm trying to get there myself.

About two years ago, I bought Street Tuner for my car due to changing the intake from a K&N Typhoon over to an APS 65mm CAI after I was PROtuned for the Typhoon. I did it because of heat soak and I've been happy with the APS ever since (with the exception of the rattling and bracket that doesn't line up to hold it secure).

I happened to be in Hagerstown, MD at the time due to a work assignment and as luck turns out, 30 minutes from WolfPlayer. A huge thanks to him and his contacts, he was able to secure the PROtuned maps from Doug at TopSpeed and have them converted to the Street Tuner format. He helped me through many PMs and IMs get setup with it on my laptop and my logging started.

It went over my head. I gave up and just ran with it after making tiny changes to the intake calibration table's idle settings during winter. I then had to change the software over from my work laptop onto something that I owned...so it went onto my desktop and was never used again until...

I bought a used Dell laptop. Then that sat...for...oh...another year....this is a terrible example of what happens when I lose interest in something, hah.

Anyway, about a week ago I finally swapped the software over onto the laptop and proceeded to pimp it out with stickers I had laying around. I took some quick WOT datalogs and it confirmed that my engine wasn't close to blowing up like I had figured all along, but some tweaks were in order, which are coming...soon. (tonight or tomorrow, pinkie swear).
