well I just did the reset and it seems to be a bit better....

Its not laggy, its just not pulling as hard to me... I mean I guess it could be in my mind, but it just doesnt seem to be all there... Kinda like shes not boosting as hard... Also while I was out running teh car I noticed the car doesnt seem to be spooling as much as it was.. Like before at around 3.5 thousand RPM she would be spooling hard but now its barely noticable (but also teh exhaust is loud so it may just be me not hearing it to well...

Its really a tuff call... I guess I need to get a boost gauge and see whats goign on... Does anyone locally know how to install them well??? I could use some help... Also if anyone is goign to the TGIF Meet this saturday, maybe you could take my car out for a spin and see what you think... hell it could be all in my mind....

i would be willing to do that.

if you plan on upgrading your car i would recomend a eletronic boost controller. that will tell you how much you are boosting and you will have more power to manage it.

ie. duty ratio & cycle, gain, and you can boost more than 12lbs. to like 14 or 15lbs.

if you would like to talk more about it on sat i would be happy to give yea some pointers

did you do anything before you brought it in? did you fill it with crappy gas? did the weather change? i would drive it for a few days. just dont worry about it for a few days and see how it feels. either you will know for sure or you'll get the gauge and know for sure.

No nothing diffrent at all... Only thign was gas was low.. but I weant and filled it up with Shell VPower and it still felt the same.

I will drive it for a few days and see if maybe its just me... LOL

I hope to have a boost gauge by this weekend and find someone to help me install it... Thats way I can see if its just not boosting like it should.

for what it would cost him( and this is my opinion) for an ebc, wouldnt he be a little better off just saving a little bit more and get some form of actual EM? less of a chance of damage and with the higher temps there it will lessin the chance of detonation. 100degree days and lean can be a bad thing.
