Hopefully, the carbon radiator shroud will negate those effects!

I didn't mean for that to sound all rude... if you took it that way I apologize.

Thanks Pete. I wasn't very happy sending it through the carwash, but at least all the salt is off.

I washed mine yesterday in the closed brush less. There was a line of easily 10 cars waiting to get in the thing so I came back an hour later and another 5 were there. It's amazing how busy that wash gets. Get that salt off ASAP. It eats everything. Some managed to get under my hood on my valve cover and stained it permanently. All that hard work powdercoating down the drain.

I don't want to mention names in case it's a problem, but I'm helping a member retune his car after having some bad boost leaks and other stuff fixed. He's getting a weird stumble around 2000 RPM and it's running poorly. I had updated him to a tephra rom, and at first though that was the problem, but not anymore. I initially missed his lean spool settings, but even after porting that over the problem still persisted. The first thing I noticed was his fuel trims were maxed out at 100% and 59% for short and mid. I assumed at first that his injectors weren't scaled correctly but now all of a sudden the trims are zeroing out. Looking at his latest log the O2 sensor just goes to 0 at random points and hangs there while his WB shows him lean out to ridiculous levels 59.1 came up on the log. Then it starts working like normal. I'm thinking a bad O2 sensor. He also just started getting a no activity code I think yesterday. Any suggestions on what else it could be?
