Nope that was something else. It was eventually sorted out. What I just posted up is something else all together.

Threw a p420 code with the new exhaust but now the throwing of that code immediately throws the car to the super weak timing maps???

I know that is wrong because why would you point out that it has something to do with your dyno??

Ok, did you somehow put the dyno brake/increase load during those pulls.

Cant be clutch chatter - it would slip sooner than 5800 (and look a lot different)

Something pulled the power out..

well, since you said there was no boost drop, i.e. the turbo didn't take a crap, and you are showing a picture of the dyno, then i would venture a guess that it started slipping on the dyno...

Shiv ? ? ?

So instead of selling my xedy I should keep it for my IX MR? I guess it sounds like my VIII's xedy can be uploaded to support my IX's setup? Thanks in advance! Rob,

Now would THAT be cool?

All i gotta say is GOOD Work for all the vendors that are doing their best to tune the Evo IX. Precision, Al, and Shiv each have their own techniques to gain the necessary HP from the Evo IX. Apparently they each can't give their secrets away and also prolly the vendor which produces the most sucessful and significant gains from the Evo IX will prolly gain the most business

. Good Luck to all. I hopefully will get a IX next yr, by then we'll see how the IX flourishes, its all in due time.

We give up, tell us!

Did Dustin pull the E-brake while trying to drift the car on the dyno?
