I finally got my ETS shipment and got it installed at Tuning Technologies:

1. Upper and Lower Intercooler Pipe
2. FMIC (4 inch ~largest)
3. Intake Kit
4. Catback (with hand fab ETS merge Collector)
6. Tuning Technologies custom fab test pipe.
7. No MBC (had some trouble)

Note: I also got the factory reflash.

Bottom line:

1. 44 whp gain (from 264 whp stock to 308 whp)
2. 68 wtorque gain (271 torque to 343 w torque)


So I've decided I'm not going to renew my Sirius subscription on this car, because I can't hear the radio anymore....but why would I want to listen to the radio when I can hear my baby purr.

Everything fitted great, it would've been helpful if ETS send us an instruction.

2 things I didn't like:
1. On the intake pipe, there is no outlet section on the pipe (little pipe) that connects to the stock boost solenoid via rubber hose. Why?
2. Why couldn't they gave me one more blue hose for the Intake Pipe to blowoff valve, instead I have to cut my factory rubber hose. WTF????

Now I need some help!!
I got the factory reflash on my car. We tried to install MBC, and we're just driving (without boosting it hard) and got two CEL codes. P1234 and P0233. Eventually, car went into a limp mode, in the middle of the freeway. What the hell is that? Unfortunately, it was late, so we took the MBC out and then dynoed the car. I'm going back next weekend to get it installed and hopefully get my car tuned (Ecutek).

So does anyone have trouble with MBC after getting a factory reflash? Alfred @ tuning technologies is going to try to figure it out this weekend, but I would appreciate any insight.

Future projects: TuningTechnologies Turbo Kit (probably GT30R ball bearing).

Michael will be working hard on getting some instructions put together shortly. Get a hold of Michael today and he will take care of you, Tom is not currently in the office. I'm glad you are liking your new ETS parts.

 

The ECUtek flash will fix the overboost cell.

 

Decent for just slapping on the parts without a tune or MBC.

 

 

Does anyone know what P1234 and P0223 CEL code means? I got it when we installed MBC, and I couldn't get rid of it. I don't think it's overboost code.

 

google the codes, they should be on the internet

 

very nice.

 

Sound Clips!

 

WTF is the internet?

 

Dude??!! I already did that, but I have no idea what those definitions mean. Did anyone else get same code? How did you fix it?

 

Good power on your X. Keep us posted when you put the bigger turbo on.

 

Nice gains. Parts look good too.

 

ETS should chime in on your dislikes. What you posted has me concerned and I might look elsewhere to take my business.

 

0223 = Throttle/Pedal Postion Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit High Input
