I know mine still runs super rich. I got full exhaust, efini y-pipe and at 13.5lbs (with new o2 sensor) I still get o2 voltages in the lower .90s and high .80s.

I would still say that running an untuned ECU is still playing with fire. IMO, if you are going to get a programmable ECU, get it tuned. I can't count the number of threads with people blowing seals on untuned PFC's especially if the guy experiences any boost creep with his setup.

I've never gotten any boost creep. My boost is solid all the way through.
I DO know people that just sell their "Tuned" PFC to someone, and then the buyer mysteriously pops his engine. Like we always say, every engine is different

If you look at the results of Wade's dyno testing, the PFC map is leaner than the stock ecu. This is normally OK as the stock ecu map is pig rich.

Dammit..
This f'ing forum has so much conflicting information I'm starting to get kinda ticked off having to wade through it.
Who the hell should I believe? A guy that dyno-tunes 7's all the f'ing time..or another guy that's done his own dyno-tuning.

i rarely listen to what people say on this forum, especially when it comes to the big risk of detonation.
After spending almost one year here i've gotten scvared of how the talk goes about how fragile the 13B REW is.
I think some is that i dont want it to blowup so i don't listen cause of that, but also i've gotten the feeling that many people in usa don't tune or just don't know what they're doing.
I don't know anyone where i come from that would try tuning themselves unless they have much experience. But in usa i've heard many people who do it themselves.
Caution!! Don't take this personally if you're from usa Caution!!

You still need to tune. I would use someone's maps that are really close in mods to you, but with conservative boost until you can get a WB.
my 2 cents
