yup, the engagement is pretty normal from every car i've driven with it.. i've had mine in my subaru for quite a while and it has lasted me quite a bit of time and won't crap out

 

Ed, I know when I called Brendan last week to schedule my tune, I think I said 91 tune, but can I switch that over to the E85 tune?

Also, there are a few things I wanted to go over with you guys about the car ontop of the pre-tune check that Brendan said you guys normally do before any type of tune. Or maybe I can just ask you here and you could give me some piece of mind...?

Thanks!




Okay, the engagement I guess is pretty stiff which I thought about it, and that is a good thing. But the only thing I'm concerned about is the "bogging" I experience, no matter how slow or quickly I let off the clutch. Maybe that's another thing I can go over with Ed and them on thursday.

 

Make sure to do the boost leak test before you guys go tune. Deff worth it!!

 

I'm pretty sure I am leaking boost and there is a GOOD CHANCE that I installed the boost gauge wrong.

After I installed it and started up the car, the gauge did it's normal opening mode and then as the car was idling the gauge needle dropped down to I think -20psi or so. I thought that was normal since my car is REALLY rich right now and hasn't been tuned. Sound right or am I just tripping?

 

Im cool with this as long as anthony was just hooking you up as a friend one time and not going to be offering his out of his home services around to other members right??

If so though than ya man sounds like your cars gonna be a whole new beast, enjoy!

 

My psi is around there at idle. Look for boost leak when boosting and at a constant boost level then it starts dropping.

 

I assume you are Anthony's boss at work? Lol, yeah it was. For what I wanted to have installed, most shops were quoting me in the $2000-$2500+. I just didn't have that much money for the installs. Yeah, I can already tell just by when I drove it home saturday night. I was VERY careful to not go into boost, except that one time I went into it on accident, lol. It wasn't good. I'm very VERY excited for my tune on thursday. I actually think I'm going E85 now...






Yeah, I'll have EQ check it during their pre-tune check...but I'm pretty sure what I am experiencing is normal considering my girl isn't tuned for the boltons yet.

Also, my gauge is always illuminated. Doesn't matter if my lights are on or off, still illuminated. Is that normal or did I wire it wrong?

 

make sure you get a boost controller! i only put on bulk vacuum lines for now just so you can drive the car home.

 

Yeah, EQ said they will get me a hallman MBC that they have in stock for like $100 and they will tune with that. thursday needs to come sooner! any updates on your car yet?!

 

nah i didnt leave work til 6pm today so i didnt get to check up on my car yet =\

 

You should get some sort of compensation for them taking this long past their expected due date...

 

Well, what I meant was that they should give you some sort of a discount
