We also have people sign a waiver prior to a tune.

What cylinder was that?

There was an issue with #3(I think) leaning out when the WRX's first came out. If I remember correctly it had to do with it's vicinity to the turbo.

Love my car! So glad it's back! Thanks again AREA1320.

It was cyl 2 that went. I will say this, there was a **** load of timing on the previous tune at peak tq which probably smoked the motor.

Thats a relaxed tune on it now at only 17-18psi. We can crank it to 22psi for a good time :P

ScoobyNubieToo! · 12-25-2010, 01:54 PM

You might be getting your shot.
I think by summer I'm gonna go with a Turbo XS TBE and up pipe with V-band EWG as well as a larger turbo and then maybe even larger injectors which means I"ll be back!

Bah....it doesn't have to look pretty. We'll have to see about working out some kinda deal. I just gotta dig around the net and try to find out which EWG upipe kit is the one that clears that Turbo XS downpipe.....I can't remember which one it is.

LOL Well, you know I can't ask HER about the setup in her car....because she doesn't even know (or care) what's in there. HA HA!

Finally updated my first post with a mods list. I now realize just how much I've done to the car in compiling that list. I had to go back several times to keep updating it today because I kept forgetting a mod. I've really put a lot into my car and I'm so happy to have it running again. I can't wait until the summer!
