On another note...
The car has been acting funny for the past two weeks. It's misfiring on cylinder 1 and 3 when coming to a stop or idling and as usual i figured the worst. I called up EQ Tuning and got in on Ed's schedule for a leakdown and compression test because i figured that would tell us if the motor is toast. Results came back healthy and well, the car wasn't burning any oil or smoking excessively but has this idle issue which is really annoying in stop and go driving. The only way to remedy this issue and make it slightly better is to have the A/C on full blast while in stop and go driving. Ed had Cory(tech and tuner) adjust my map a bit to try and fix it but i'm still having the same issues. The car drives normal and doesn't misfire once the RPM's are above 1.5k RPM. I notice when i lift the gas pedal and let the car cruise in neutral to a stop i hear small pops as if it's backfiring or something of that nature under 2k RPM. Ed thinks the issue could be my injectors so hopefully we can solve this soon! I'm supposed to go up there next week and see if the issue clears up with different injectors or cleaning mine and seeing if they are clogged.
*crossing fingers*
I have a lot of updates coming for the build but just have been busy dealing with this and trying to track down what gremlin is causing this issue.

Just wanted to update this and say Ed and Cory at EQ are great guys. They've delt with my annoying idle issue questions for 2 or 3 weeks now and have gone out of their way to accommodate me and my hectic schedule in a timely manner. From my experience i really couldn't suggest a better place to have your car tuned at or worked on in the bay area. My problem seemed to be faulty injector(s). Car is now being worked back onto E85 and soon will be getting a "high boost" tune with some real boost levels after EQ does my clutch job. Excited!
