Default ****The 2 things I learned while tuning tonight.....*****

1. If you blow the Vacline to your FPR you will hear a lot of clicking!!!!! (ping through the roof for 2 gears)

2. Upsolutes BT software has no safetys pretty much what so ever. You don't need diode mod becuase it's not going to stop you no matter how much boost you're making!!!

thank god my engine seems to be alright.

Default Alex....

The upsolute... well.. you get what you pay for... I researched their software Extesnsively... they are low price for a reason.
Bit the bullet and head up to Danny and get the Big Turbo Program that Revo has. It is wonderful... no diode.. pleanty of safety.. given the Greedy Boost Controller we hav can bypass some of the software. But it is smooth like stock.

Default so the ecu wont go into limp mode at all... what about knocking will it close the throttle or cut

fuel to the injectors if it sees a knock, which i can imagine you had when you lost fuel pressure....if it doesnt sounds like crap programming.. just my thought

Default pretty sure that something that is end-user programmable is your own damn problem. like he said HE

was tuning it. if they were using his car for tuning and blew it up then maybe he would have something but with the setup in his own hands he is on his own
