Seriously frustrated with X! Need help.

Alright here it goes. My first mod was the Works drop in filter. One day I decided to go launch my car. Service engine light came on. I didnt know I was suppose to hold down ASC button. I was so use to my VIII. When I stop the car, the idle would jump up and down around 2200 rpms. I'd turned the car off and turned it back on. Everything seems to idle fine, and when I drove it for awhile, the Service engine light would go away. Another day, I would try to launch it again, this time I held the ASC button down until the message appeared. The car did the exact same thing. I decided to go with the Works p2 Reflash. After the reflash, it would do the exact same thing. Pete from works even lowered the boost, did everything he could think of but my Service engine light would still come on. This is since Sema of last year. Since then I thought a tune would help me fix this problem. I drive down Los Angeles on Wednesday to Edo Performance. They couldn't tune my car. They said that their dyno was reading the speed of all 4 corners, and said that the front were faster than the rear. Hence, why my tires are almost bald in the front and the rear is fine. Edo believe its the transfer case. They told me to go back to Mitsu to see if I can get warranty work done. I took it to them today, and they could not fine the problems. Mitsu said there were like 20 codes stored in my ecu. Also said there were like 6-7 ecus controlling this car. Says my performance ecu is fine, but the codes that came up were related to ABS. I dont know if I should believe them or not, but the dealerships in vegas suck *****. Anyways, Edo is trying to help me as much as they can. They are going to try to call South Coast to see if they can help me? Has anyone gone through these symptoms?

my engine mods are:
Works drop in filter
ARC Intercooler
Works p2 Reflash
Perrin intake pipe
Greddy SE Catback

and these are in specific order

Sounds like EDO is on the right track if your getting an ABS code. If the speed on the wheels are off, it will throw an ABS light. Did they tell you what the ABS code was?

you don't have a code reader to pull the codes? should've been your first investment imo.

your first priority now should be pulling the codes and see what's malfunctioning.

weird, you might want to find another dyno and see if you get the same results. can't say that i have experienced anything similar to this. you can hit up hbspeed next time you're in socal, jon is a very knowledgeable guy.

Eling99 I tried to reply to you in the vegas thread, but it kept locking up. your best bet is south coast... the stealerships here in vegas are retarded with a capital TARD.

the only other option is mark mitsubishi in Glendale AZ. they are mod friendly to an extent..
