It's funny you keep all that stuff in your room. I got busted with a transmission in a wall locker once, it didn't go so well.

1995240sxSE, i've never seen you around here, and i usually spend a lot of time in richlands.

yeah I was going emance but it has been almost 4 months since Ive seen my first one that didnt work. so I sent it away went to africa for 34 days expecting to have an ecu when I got back...nope nothing and the last I heard from him is that he sent the ecu off to me...that was a month ago....so 2000 dollars later aem ems. I just want to say thankyou emance for costing me nearly 3000 dollars in shop storage fees. thank you. but My power goals are hopefully around 330-380. the shop wants 480 but that cant be possible with the injectors.

they better be done on the dyno by monday. I still wont be able to drive till this following friday, till I get back from south carolina

If I actually get the emance it will be for sell

thank you,,,djibouti was alrightI could spend 15 months there, the chow hall and the gym where enough for me, 24hrs. the heat on the other hand, 156 out side and we are shooting rifles for fun in full gear. yeah but it was fun way better than jordan...as for the ecu, Im gonna sell it so if you want it you got first dibs. only downside is I wont be able to tell you if it will work or not. but it will be for cheap 50 bucks cheap...dont mean to knock the guy but I repped him the whole time even when he messed the first one up, even when he costed me all this money, but I would still be waiting to hear my car run if I had waited on him. and to top it off he dont even return my emails, hell I didnt even get a phone number to contact. so by selling it if I ever get it ill make a small jump out of the whole he put me in. I know others have awesome results and thats what drew me in but mine sucked, biggest waist of money in this whole build $185 down the drain....ps I hope you read this jason

so yeah its yours when/if I get it

about those numbers.......the dyno shop was having some troubles I guess. My cheap *** egay bov was leaking and so I bought a real one, and the were converting it from mafs to map. I am in south carolina till tommorow so hopefully it will be done tommorow now that these bugs should be getting fixed. i hate waiting on someone else. the shop told me that the car sounds day and night. funny thing I thought it sounded good before. I wish I had a dyno so i could have done the tune myself. this tuning aspect has been the headache of the whole build. numbers will come within 1 hr of me recieving them, sorry for the wait

I went to the dyno today and found my turbo when they clocked it was still loose and my brand new exhaust is destroyed. also it wont start unless you jump the starter. the wiring looks like ****. I have a lot to do when I get it back. the guy at the dyno is alot better to work with than the shop it was at. he said maybe monday.

when the pulled my car off a trailer about a month ago the ripped my brand new exhaust off. crushed the test pipe and brok a hanger. I look at it today and thinking they fixed it, nope they just bolted it back up. a mouse could crawl threw the crack between the two flanges. so I was thinking no big deal ill make another one. I look at the back and the left pipe coming off, the tip, was ovaled. so fuuck. as for the turbo when the car was up off the ground I was lookin around and noticed that my turbo bolts were loose from when they clocked it. I told the dyno guy and he was like shiit. then he informs me he had only gotten my car this friday. oh and my engine bay is nothing of what it used to be, oil, wires. my nerves are very thin. once I get my car back I will tell you what shop it is for those of you curious.
