Hi im brand new to this forum so i apologize if i am doing something wrong. I Just bought and evo viii with 66k on it. it has buschar FM, moroso radiator, Injen cai and upper and lower intercooler piping, new stock turbo, headers, gauges, i bought it from a chevrolet dealer who really didnt know anything about it. I previously have owned a 10.3 @136mph 1/4 95 gsx but that was 5 years ago and im just getting back into my turbo/awd cars. So let me get to it, i bought the car and in a day the cel was on, i took it back and they sent it to some joe schmoe aftermarket shop to have the cel and hid fixed. they put a cat on it and a new fuel injector and called it good.. a day later the light was back on and i know im gonna get a world a bs if i take it back to the dealer again, i havent noticed anything wrong with the car, but i can smell that im running rich and im only getting 160 miles to a tank!!!!??? im running 17lbs of boost and theres 2 feet of snow so im driving it like a grandma most of the time. im gonna swing by autozone and get the code scanned, ive heard the car may also have a possible tune.

 

You should take it to a reputable Evo shop and get a tune. If I were you I would go to the dealer and say oh there is a tune on the car so either give me money for a new Stock ECU or give me the money to have it tuned.

 

You really really need a tune. It will do wonders for you. Do some research and see who is close to you.

 

will that require me buying some form of tuning hardware for the car or can i just take it to AMS to re tune my stock ecu?

 

AMS can retune your stock ECU.

 

Ams,boostin performance,strictly modified.don't waste your time with auto zone specialists.remember the tune will be expensive plus be prepared for more bad news while you at the tuner.good luck.

 

ok thanks for the help i have a appointment with boostin on tuesday.

 

cool, let us know how it goes.

 

Maybe it used to have a larger turbo and therefore it was tuned to it. Could explain the "new stock turbo" replacement for the sell
