Who has tried Series2?
I have been dealing with this piece of junk series2 for 6 months now in my EVO IX MR. The guy who tunes my car either doesn't have a clue or the box is just a pile of junk. He just loaded the v1.19 firmware, was able to fix the cold start issue but the low rpm drive ability just plain stinks. The car bucks and misses at anything below 12% throttle, in-gear deceleration the car pops and sometimes backfires. Throttle tip in response is terrible. I can make the car backfire easily by getting on it, letting up for a split second and then getting on it again.
He is blaming AEM but I don't see anyone else that has such severe issues.
Maybe it's the way my car is setup. I have the AEM 3-port boost solenoid, AEM 3.5 Bar MAP sensor, AEM AIT sensor, Tial 50 MM NON-recirculating BOV, GSC Stage 1 cams, Walbro 255lph fuel pump, stock injectors, stock turbo, Buschur TBE w/Megan O2 housing, Perrin intercooler, TurboXS hard piping, K&N cone filter. Anyone have a similar setup? If I go back to the stock box, I have to put the MAF sensor back and get a recirculating BOV again, needless to say the serial data gauge would have to go as well. Sorry for the rant but I've been patient and just can't stand even driving my car anymore. Does anyone have a similar setup with issues?

i agree your setup should be easy to tune for those who are so qualified (not me). I own 2 and have driven several highly modified aem cars that drive close to stock and think a mild setup like yours should drive like stock on series 2. PM itzwolf and send him your cal just to get a second opinion. be patient he is moving this week but always likes to help out fellow car guys
yes. there hasnt been an update since the mid Aug. tuner v2.0 and firmware 1v17 cleaned up a good chunk of the bugs.
But the issues r1code is having besides the slight mis at low throttle doesnt seem like any of the previous bugs
Hopefully in the next few updates all of us using aem v1 box will be able to use the tuner software. Its so much nicer on the eyes than pro. Dont get me wrong the v2 is a nice step in the right direction but imo haltech is on top of its game. Ive really been diggin the vipec PnP aswell
