Thanks for setting up the tuning again Dave. The car is now much-much faster.

I need to get bigger intercooler and proper ducting. Steve was saying I can only go up to 7000rpm before I got boost spike, and bigger intercooler/proper ducting can take care of the problem.
I had a chance to run with CBR600 on the way back, it was a blast.

Kevin@JetCityTuning: Thank you for dealing with my car again ( I know what a pain it is to strap the rear with the rear diffuser on.

Steve: Thank you for the good tuning.

Dave: Thank you for setting up the tuning session.

Marc and Zack: Nice to meet you.

Michelle, Chris and Tim: NIce to see you guys again. Probably see you guys again for a drive.

oh and it was great to see all the familiar faces (Chris, Michelle, Dave S, David Hays, Ryan, Zack, Daniels, Kevin, Steve Kan - Dave and I kicked your *** at poker) again and meet some new ones (Hank, Rob, Bob, Chase, Mark)

Maybe one of these days I'll have a Steve Kan tuneable car... But unfortunately I let him drive my FD Saturday and he threw an apex seal

[QUOTE=z-beater;8417634]Phew, I am pooped. So much to say. Let's start from the top.

My car made 320 @ 15psi. I am pretty sure that my turbo is having some problems. That is really low. Either way the car rips. I think that it is time for a new 62-1.

/QUOTE]

Hi Dave,

Your car should be putting down much more power than that. A 62-1 will make your car scream.

Thanks Zack!

Still don't know what could have caused my secondary to quit working. I have a couple ideas that I'll check out and I'll let you all know.

Got to say thanks to Zack though. He ran home and picked up all his old stuff that he ripped out of his FD when he he went non-sequencial. He then helped me change the solenoid and then put the UIM back on (OK, actually I helped him as he changed the solenoid and put the UIM back on). After that didn't work, he then helped me change out another solenoid. In all, Zack probably spent 4 hours messing with my car and was a HUGE help.

Tim, instead of linking the pictures to photobucket can you please upload them. For some reason my computer blocks pictures from photobucket.
