thanks.......this is just about at the end of my rope, too much money for this and headaches and time, ill be on my 3rd reflash at $350 a pop!! oh well, i guess the only way to do it is buy everything at once reflash, then never touch the car again...the ride to CONN is like the ride to my work, all too common. oh well....we went to the track tonight, and i never even got of the line, reving to about 6500 sliped the clutch, and it just popped, backfired and crackling and only boosted to about 8-9 and just let off, cruiswed to a 21.45@65.89...i had 3 gallons on 112octane in and reset the battery, but it must be the new pipes and all the air that threw of the dynoflash.....i hope...oh yeah...my brother is trading his in for the MR, anyone wanna buy a sweet evo PM huscroft6, yellow, black wheels, gergeous, see ya gang!

Good luck with the Flash buddy, I have faith in Al. Oh yea, not selling the car anymore.... Had a bunch of kids stop by when i was getting dinner saying how unreal it is. Just too many compliments on what Ive done and looks too good to get rid of and start all over. Maybe next year... Oh yea, Id also be paying prob 600 rather than 450 a month

Later Bro.... Good luck with your "sweet" and quick" ride, LOL LATE!!!

first of all, if you enjoy modding and want to keep dynoflash instead of AEM or UTEC, you should have chosen to go for custom dynoflash first, as any mail-in update is free

custom dynoflash is alil better then the mail-in but then again if u care about the details that much, you should be tuning it yourself

you should have more power than what you made. I would dump the dynoless flash and go with something else. I know I had Als flash, and glad I got rid of it. I think that is why you are having problems. if you have to pay for this every time you see AL you could have made a big dent in the price of the Aem.

This is what's going to happen on a reflash with a big turbo. I am also guessing the new MAF pipe and BOV are complicating the situation by screwing with your air metering.

To stay in the stock ECU's drivability and load range, you're either have to severely limit the boost the turbo can make, or run very rich at points when the turbo is making more airflow than stock (for safety/drivability).

Look into going piggyback or standalone. With the right tuning I think you will be pretty damn happy.
