Probably not going to give a date at this point because their is just so much work to be done.

The closer we are the more I will start to leak info.

Thanks,

Would you mind posting what other mods are on that car?

I think the stumbling I'm getting is a direct result of the blowthrough setup.. the airflow output readings are just "Different" than the stock MAF and I"ve been trying to calibrate it without much luck.. But I want to get it configured so I know the voltages needed in the blowthrough sensor so the future units can be calibrated by default.

The EVO's stock maf is awesome because it's so linear but, with it being so linear is it very sensitive at the same time. So even when you vent air back into the intake the car will stumble slightly because of the flow on the back side of the sensor. But take a look at your afr log i bet is relatively flat and dead on where ever you tune it.

The cars that come here and get tuned we haven't seen the part throttle stumbling issues. Previous version of firmware yes, new stuff nope.

The easiest solution for the stumbling and stalling with the MAF is actually pretty simple.. use a longer intake tube that has steeper bends in it and the recirculation fitting is close to the turbo side and pointing TOWARD the turbo slightly this way turbo and recirc fitting is further from the MAF..

However at the least there should be some sort of EIDS equivalant.. I don't mind speed density, Ijust am too aware of the glitches and shortcomings that I've had with systems like that.. I am almost tempted to say "Why do what everyone else does" its not like its better, its just a different less efficient way to solve an inherant problem.. But I understand that the demand for the feature is greater, and I'll live with speed density when its released..

Guys, will you be making EGT kit for tuner pro and possibly incorporating the EGT column into UTEC?
I couldn't care less about speed density

and I think this would actually be more usefull than speed density for us that don't drag race and need insane amounts of whp.

Thats a Tuner feature.. but I have requested that additional column for EGT on the tuner output for the UTEC also, the Tuner has several aux inputs that could be useful for logging some sorts of data.. I'd like to be able to append all of that data if its available.

Does that also apply to the tuner lite? The manual I got didn't seem to be for the tuner lite so I really don't know what the tuner lite can't that the tuner pro can.
