monroeville is okay for me. Not too far and it would be extremely easy for everyone to find. Turnpike and parkway exits are right there.

Al, I installed a hallman mbc after you flashed me here the first time. We tried the boost control feature from your flash but that didn't work on my 04 RS. You told me I would be ok to run around 21 psi and would not need a reflash with the addition of the mbc. Could it be possible that my timing or a/f is off after running this level of boost without actually being "flashed" for it. I am going to go to the dyno and see what kind of numbers I put down because my 1/4 times were very disappointing. With a 1.8 60 ft I only hit a 13.6 but the mph was 97 and should be considerably higher. 1/8 mile mph was 79 and I should be picking up at least 22 mph by the end of the 1/4. I hope that it is just me being a bad driver needing more practice at the strip but the dyno numbers should be more reflective of what is happening. Any of you guys planning on getting a dyno before your tune? I am thinking it is pulling on the timing or something up top. If dyno numbers look weak I am wondering if you will be able to take a peak at my car when you come back down for everyone else's flash to see what is going on with my car.

could also be a bad tank of gas. I think that was my problem last month. I'd be interested in a dyno run before the tune as long as it's not too pricey.
If ya go by yourself I think it's $125.00 per hour, there # is 412-821-2800 and here's a link to there web site http://www.eurostyleseast.com/

thanks mike! I think I'm gonna have to hold out until after the tune for the dyno run though. I have no money left. My car ate it all up.

Hey guys any ideas on where to DEFINITELY do this? Like the specific locations and such?
Also al before you come up should i get new spark plugs? I am at 28.3k miles on my car and well at 30k you are suggested to change the plugs. Or do you think its ok until i wait and do my 30k check up at the end of Aug. I don't see my plugs causing a big problem as i am not having any misfires or anything.
