so if that is so it is the person problem for bleeding to death, i by squeezing the trigger merrely let a bear out of the cage, awesome i finaly got my defense.

you by loading a map onto the ecu just showed where the engine was defective.

i love logic.

who ever got the turboback exhaust on the 06 you better get an accespport, or you are leetting the bear out in your turbo, and his name is boost creep, get him back in the cage with some engine managnment.
