Turco, How's your schedule looking? I'm getting my car back today or tomorrow and hopefully you can tune it asap.

I should be around next week so let me know

Bring the wing with you too hehe
True. I still haven't looked into what people are using for boost control...I mean I I do have a Hallman mbc laying around that I took out of my VIII...hmmm

Oh and next night not available, is Tues. night. I'm dropping the X that night off for service on Wed. and will prob be rocking a newer Galant for a day. I'm having my alignment checked (and knowing me) I will get a free royation and alignment, a the latest reflash..considering I have drobe 1500 miles with it never been reflashed But coming from that business, I can understand why they just don't do them...but it wasn't until as of late that I noticed that "hoppy" idle at times. Whatever though...saves me miles for a day and I'm taking advantage of that little thing I miss....Warranty

And will do on the wing. I mean really, who has 3 Evo 8 wings hanging around at one time.

Ya we do...linteresting how you say poke and prod my ecu..like this is an experiment As for my "Zeitronix fund"..just $150 shy in the mod fund...calculating I do not have to use any that money for stupid things like bills.

ECU controlled boost.


On another Note: Is it crazy slow for anyone else to Quote and post a reply on EvoM?

I think its just because people didnt know any better. Especially early on. Many also dont get a tune right away and higher boost = moar hp, so its quicker and easier than getting a tune.

I think it has a lot to do with a few of the tuner options out there adjusted their tune for a MBC boost curve(Buschurs and TTP to name a few). Plus, it's probably easier to have the end user dial-in the boost curve manually than to preload an ECU controlled curve (we all know the EBC settings are different on every car depending on mods).

I wonder how high of a boost curve we can get with the stock BCS? I guess we'll see, huh Billy boy? haha

Oh Turco, check out the newest VDR, it has all of the Drag CoEfficients and Frontal Area data entered for the Evo 7,8,9, and 10's now. Also, some NEDSM member from Mass wanted to come down this weekend for me to tune their Evo IX but I'm swamped with projects this weekend so I sent them your way for some extra loot if you have the time
