Want to freak an ECU out?

This was from tonight trying to log a 4th gear pull when you start out at 1300rpms with some knock and the ECU tries to figure out if your cruising or trying to datalog your car. This is why you don't lug the Evo X.

Yeah I never lug my car around, always downshift when I'm not in the powerband etc.

I can't stand when people lug around turbo cars, especially 4 cylinders with minimal torque down low.

Same goes for any turbo car really unless its a big displacement car with good low-end. Its the same concept as trying to start out on a 21 speed bike in 3/8, its going to be very stressful on the chain and/ your legs...Similar concept to an engine.

The knock because I lugged the engine caused the ECU to freak out. It was late(for me) and my post really didn't make a lot of sense.
