Traction in 1st gear...well...needs partial throttle to fully hook up. Top of second gear it tries to break loose with traction on. I didn't turn traction off because it wasn't safe to get sideways on a narrow road

Overall the car feels very strong up top, and mid-range torque is much better since I've replaced my spark plugs.

No more CELs, no more limp modes. Just not a perfectly smooth idle, which RMM Motorsports will look into this week

Over-all, I'm very happy! And I loooooove the boost gauge. I'm so glad I spent a little extra to get it
awesome awesome awesome!!! sooooooo pleased!!!

after 8k the tune basically goes into protect the engine mode, lol and imo i think thats a good thing.......

what did i tell you about the gauge?? awesome piece of kit, the wideband is nearly elecitrical porn... lol what did you set your warning to?? ive sent my warning @ 7psi so i know EXACTLY when im over the 7psi mark.

the stack pro unit are imo the best gauge avaible on the market... unfortunatly very expensive, the 3 gauges, with all the bits needed to install was enough to make a grown man cry.... worth it??? you bet ya!!

the traction control light on my car is pretty much a solid light in the first 2 gears, lol....


p.s hows your blower sounding now youve thrown some proper boost/use through it??
