Thanks, AL

I just placed my order from buschur. Now we just need to get you down to dallas so I can get everything tuned.

So if I wanted to follow your suggestion and add a fuel pump to an existing flash I would need to be reflashed for the pump, correct?

Al,
Do you, or anyone else, have any idea if Mitsu has done any upgrades to the head and rod bolts on the IX. Obviously, the rod bolts have been an issue prior to the IX, with all the little upgrades on the IX, one can hope. Or is that to much to ask?

Hey guys, is it the massive reduction in lag time or the few extra lbs that tax the stock pump when installing a mbc on a stock car?

Thx,

Al - do you think the lean spike on my and cij911's AFR plot are due to the pump on our IXs failing? Should we get pumps? And if we do, ask asked above, I assume we need a reflash?

Thanks.

I get much better results on cars that have fuel pumps and it removes an unknown variable which can result in a disapointing result for the customer and myself

if it means a few less sales at years end, I can deal with that

I only want the best possible product[/QUOTE]

now thats a good vendor ...striving to sell whats proven and known to be safe and also not trying to just make profits at all costs

I rather just do it once and do it right

When you raise the boost you really need a fuel pump

I personally think (and I am sure MANY others feel the same way) you do great work, you know it, and we know it. Just don't get into the finger poking,mudslinging beeatching sessions with the "nit-pickers". that glazes my eyes over. I have nothing bad to say about the "other camp" either. just don't think the fighting is helpful to "us", or your health.

Keep on doing what you do best (BOTH CAMPS!! )
