ha well turns out my vam is bad too. i finally got to test the other and its got a slight flat spot in it. it would hiccup just slightly with the origional vam in it. but it sure does run a hell of a lot better with the bpv in the right way . i even popped an intercooler pipe off last night, and it was stingers kit!

just an aside: im contemplating advancing my timing a few degrees. this fmic setup makes the small turbo seem laggy. anyone have any opinions on this? im hoping too that i can get it to not richen up so much when the vam door gets slammed open at boost onset, and i can keep it from leaning out too much with the fpr. thus, i get a more consistent fuel curve. thoughts? opinions? i just want it to build boost/rev faster and be a better dd in traffic since its quite a dog out of the turbo.
