Um, Augusty time frame. Yea, I was at Rads when your car was tuned by Jared. I got the VF34 because it was a good turbo to hold me over till I can get home and finnish my short block. Im ETSing soon and when I get back stateside the new block and turbo will go in. The VF34 will carry me from California to Michigan then back to Colorado for a total of 3720 miles of driving. I'm really looking forward to it! Might be painful though in the Prodrive buckets.

I'm a bit confused. Why are you looking forward to long distance travel? You are not going to benefit from your turbo upgrade and sport seat during long distance driving as much as you would on a track. Did you tune it for long distance travel?

No I really do love long distance travel. Obviously the sport seat wont be comfortable but I will survive. Road tripping is a favorite past time of mine. I get to drive through the Rocky Mountains which I am really excited about. As for the tune, yes RomRaider and my tactrix will be with me the whole time. As for gas mileage, MAF scaling is my freind

What is about the MAF scaling that you plan to do to get more efficiency out of the motor?
I'm just curious. If you have little correction on your fuel trims, do you plan to scale it such that you run (corrected) positive correction and run a lean burn code?

speaking of RomRaider, does anyone have it and has found a launch control/anti-lag for the 02-03 wrx? when Chris (from AMS) was here, he tried to search for one but was unsuccessful...
You'll need to find the ECU ID from your rom in romraider or ecuflash and match it to one off this site.
Here's the 16bit wrx ecu's he has LC for:

I have the one for my JDM ecu. Changed the Rev limit to a 50rpm gap seems to build the best boost.
set the rpm delta to limit to 4.5k and set the mph trigger to 3mph. Builds around 9-10psi on the VF37

I also have launch control on my map. Chris tuned my car last weekend using my old stg2.5 XPT map. XPT sells their maps with Tinywrex launch control included.
It will take some time to do.

To add to this, there really is no need for it. Launch control is nice if you drag race but even then, the tinyrex one requires you to adjust the map to change the RPM. Considering you will rarely have one setting that will work with all drag strips and conditions, in the end its pretty useless. Perfecting throttle modulation will inevitably lead to better launches anyway.
