I hope this moves in a positive direction and AEM addresses the problems with the AEM EMS. Hopefully the complaints of many don't fall on deaf ears.

I think since Dave finally switched and said how good the haltech was, AEM decided they better listen. When the #1 Evo AEM tuner *****es, something is sure to get done! haha

Damn The Bish took a beating this year But you stayed at it, and that just goes to show the love you have for that car and BR, that alone makes me a proud customer and supporter!

I'm glad AEM won't release the new software until all the issues are worked out.

The software is out and released. Anyone can download and look at it from their site. The hardware for the EVO specific platform is not out yet though. Only the Supra boxes are out. The new AEMtuner software does not currently work with series I boxes and it is unclear if and when that will change from AEM.

Ill Stick to Haltech.. The HARDWARE is and always was superior to AEM.. The cheap AEM boards fail as much as cam sensors..

Darn! I was just going to ask about that

Hope they will eventually cross over to the older box but i won't hold my breath!

Today I spent the day at the shop, a Saturday is unusual for me. Jester was in town to tune some cars. I drove the cars while he tuned. All the time I had to look at the Badbish sitting dead in the bay. I am thinking of calling the car the Brokebish until it redeems itself!

Anyway, kills me to have the car down, I hate it. I've decided a few things today. I can't wait to get the car going. I am going to try to NEVER short cut a repair or fix on this car again. Also, the ECU tuning/testing is not going to be performed on this car when I do it.

In a conversation today I realized how stupid it is to test multiple ECU's on a car of this power level. I want to learn the features and what the ECU's are capable of, I don't need a car that can't make under 600 whp to do this. At 30 psi of boost the car makes 630'ish whp, dyno'ing it over and over and over and over again to test ECU's is stupid at that power level.

I can't wait to start messing with a few more engine managements but I'll have to put them on something else. The brokebish is going to get an easier life so it can spend more time on the track and less time being beat to death on the dyno.

When I put "Buschur" in the dyno to try to find my car I have to refine the search because it can only bring up 1,000 records! Enough is enough, time to find a new test mule! haha

Just some thoughts. The car MUST be fixed soon. Just need the new parts
