Ah okay I'll keep an ear out for that. The only rattling I hear is my interior rattle from my exhaust, haha. I'm sure lots of people here can relate.

when i installed my TBE i ran an off the shelf tune from perrin. i drove like a granny for months until i did some more mods and got tuned. i was still having timing pulled on the OTS tune.

just take it easy until you get it tuned.

Do you think my car has some "serious" issues? My car was running perfectly prior to installing the TBE. I gotta get my car checked out. This sh** is worrying me..

i should have mentioned that you should do the relay as an aside. it won't fix your problem though.

the thread was recently bumped and is in the x general section.

I dont have any cels. The car drives fine around town. It just goes to crap once you get on it (boosting up in higher rpms).
