    OK so I got over to Ped's at about 10:30 this morning. On the list of things to do where install gutted UP, TXS Stealthback, new plugs, and kart boy shifter bushings. First off a HUGE thanks to Ped.

    So the morning started off by removing everything. We got the stuff removed and once we got the UP out Ped, said Wow that came out easy, then we went to pull the rear O2 sensor and that is where we hit the brick wall. It was cross threaded. So we tried to take it out and broke the bung off the pipe with the O2 still attached. Well after trying to cut the bung off we started to call around to find a new one. The only place that had one was SOG. If you know were Ped lives, you know that is not a quick trip. So 3 hours and a lot of traffic later we get back. Everything went back in pretty well. We even cut the turbo heat shield and got it right on the first try. The only thing is that half way home I heard something kick up on the under the car like a nut or something and am concerned that is was from the underside of my car. I will check it out tomorrow. I am sure that it is OK but after doing all that work there is something in the back of your head that says what could we have overlooked...

    Overall I am very happy. I need to do that Vinishu or whatever it is call to advance the mutiplier. The one thing that I noticed is that I hear the turbo spool a whole lot more now. The overall exhaust tone of volume is not louder. Probably because I kept the stock axle back.

    you have tactrix you can set the IAM right off that

    You don't have EM? AP V1's are going for as low as $350....

    pEd This ain't no Piccadilly!

    Glad to hear you made home ok. Sorry to hear that it sounds like something broke loose.
    As for the EM, I believe he was going to try the OpenECU/Enginuity route.

    i thought he had tactrix cable
    it does not take long for the IAM to go to 16
    in fact thats a good way for it to get there (instead of forcing it there)

    I forgot about that. I can just download my current map, change the value, and upload it?

    Ped, I don't know what it was but nothing sounded different. But who knows, all I heard was that turbo spooling the whole way home. :naughty: It was probably jsut road debris. I am going back in to recheck the torque settings today or tomorrow. The DP was hot but definitally not as hot as the turbo, so that ceramic definitally works. Thanks again for all your help!!!
