oh, and the idle thing. i'm pretty sure that an o2 sensor isn't goin to fubar an idle that erraticly. sound to me like you need to check some other electrical to get it to steady out. do you need some freshly rebuilt s4 injectors? well, they're n/a, though.

is the idle revving, then coming back down? like hi-lo-hi-lo back and forth at a consistant pattern? or just random hi-lo revving?

its just plain erratic. im pretty sure its not the o2 sensor either but im gonna get on anyway. im gonna try to get a new TPS as well. and no i just had my injectors rebuilt so mine are good. Ill take your S5 tails off your hands though.

hhhhmmmm....... test the tps and the afm first. move the tps plunger slow and consistantly to check for spikes and opens. same with the afm. move the flapper door slowly. and do checks at full open and full closed. check against the fsm specs.

Have you gotten rid of the rats nest? Have you gotten rid of the emissions? Vac leaks? Have you unplugged your AFM to see if it dies? When is the last time you changed your plugs? Could be a million things. Call me we will hit the shop this weekend er something.

Kyle,
I will be finishing up some detailing on the WRX at the shop tomorrow evening. I guess just gimmie a call and I can at least take a peek. I will be working out of the shop until around 6:00pm.

Did hoggin out those lower bolt holes get er done? For some reason I got it in my head that the spread on the bolts was less on the 7 then the 2, and that I needed to make the depth deeper. I am guessing since no phone call you guys got it? That thing is going to be loud.

Ok sounds good. Ill give you a call later. I dont think matt tried it again after we left cause i went home. i had to get up for college this morning. i think we will try again tonight. We got the fuel pressure reg. mounted and the intake and carb are on.....youre right its gonna be damn loud. we still have to do the fuel pump though.

ok. so update on the tiger motor swap.....

so 2:30 rolls around, and i'm at work (napa) and the "Yellow" delivery driver shows up and drops off the motor. strip off the plastic wrap, and find that the engine is chillin on the oil cooler (which is fine, i was planning on using a different one), so that's a little FUBAR..

AND i'm lookin all over the motor pallet for the ecu. none. well s#!*. BUT it came with the harness. which should have been an extra $100. so, not so much in the bad, now that i wont have to use my n/a jobber'd up to make it work harness.

i kinda wish they would have sent the complete samco radiator hoses instead of cutting them.

the turbo shaft has no fore/aft play, just the little bitty wiggle in the bearings radialy.

oh, and it came with a flex plate, not a flywheel. but no biggie. i've got an f1 stage 3 cerametalic 6 puck and aluminum flywheel on the way.

tomorrow i'm on the way to zoo town for my s4 t2 shell!!!! no more slow stophie!!!!

Did you call them and complain. Maybe they'll refund you a bit for not shipping the ecu.

Can't wait for more. Got pics?
