heh, your gonna blow your car up if you aren't careful.. He's probably leaning out real bad on top since its probably got the base map on it.. you need to get a datalogit and upload a map that matches, then get it on a dyno with someone who knows how to tune it.. even if you have to go out of state... its cheaper than a rebuild.

haha an Autometer guage? Don't trust those man.. unless you have a wideband, its not accurate.



Get it on a dyno. Don't be lazy.

yeah hes right those gauges arent very accurate. if you go into the ecu section i think there are some basic tunning tips.

I would try to reset the ECU first...Who knows what is on there.



What PSI are you boosting?
