Evo fuel trims are supposed to reset after flash. My fuel trims have never reset after a flash but definately will with a batt pull.

only some years do that others do not seems to be something in the way it was coded from factory determines if it resets on flash or not.

so to be on the safe side, disconnect the battery because that does it for sure.

So, I'm looking to increase boost next month and that means I'm in the market for a mbc. I'm looking at the vibrant mbc that uses a key for adjustments because the scene I'm around some guys here are the "where's the blow off valve & waste gate" type and I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to do me a favor and increase boost for me.

My question is how do you guys feel about vibrant? I've tried to find reviews but who really leaves a legit review on a mbc?

Second where did some of you guys mount yours? From what I hear your not supposed to run a long line so what route did you all take?

Thanks guys!

Eh! Update. Been having mixed feelings towards the Lancer. Days I love her, and others I feel like I've outgrown her. So here's my plan; I've put way too much money into her really and want to move to another platform. So 4 maybe 5 more things on my list to do and that's it. This will consist of...

#1 rear disk upgrade
#2 manual boost controller
#3 rear strut bar
#4 Coilovers or ralliart springs & shocks
#5 (maybe) the bumper I mentioned a short while ago.

And that's it. I can't spend any more money on this. I've done a lot. Really anything else is a complete throw away.

I'm still tuning, around 10 psi she feels like she's getting winded. I'm wondering if it's the timing too low or signs of engine trouble. I want to do a compression test and see how that looks. If that outcome is grim I might end it earlier and do the unthinkable.

Speaking of rear disks he finally got the brackets finished for me. Hopefully we should work out something soon. I'll keep you guys updated.

Not at the moment... I want to keep her if she is in good health. My ideal situation is keeping her permanently with a newer car.

But... If it's financially best to part then...

Well I'm sure at some point I'll be thinking the same thing...but only because I'll have got her where I wanted and am ready to maybe go to an Evo to start building. The nice thing about our cars is, there aren't that many out there that have been setup like we have done and have the potential to sell quickly for a good price. I know where I live there are a ton of turbo'd hondas and 240's and such. so I stand out where I live and I'm sure you do as well. So its definitely a good thing if it ever came to selling
