If you run your stock ecu, put your main cat back in. Get a boost controler, set it for 10lbs. Put your stock intake on too. Downpipe and catback is all you should run on the stock ecu or any other 2 mods. Believe it or not, I ran lean running only 10psi having stock ecu with dp, mp, cat-back, and intake. Just becuse your running 10psi, doesn't mean your not going to run lean. Do yourself a favor, put the Pettit ecu in and run 10psi, then you'll never have a problem.[/quote]

I heard that E!! When it is cold out I open my boost controller all the way till it hits like 8-9psi and it is plenty when it is real cold out. I suggest for all to turn down the boost when it is colder like you know 40 degrees or so. You risk blowing your ride up. Been there done that. Spiked to 17psi in the winter with a MP and SEQ. So that is why I hate SEQ.

I just didn't like the feeling that the sequential system gave me...almost like a feeling of insecurity(can't describe it)...I'd rather have a single turbo any day

I like how the power comes on smooth. I also like having no boost spikes. When the sequential system works right, it's a good system...BUT when it doesn't it becomes a nightmare.
