This is our new and revised "about us." thanks for everybodys comments and inputs in the matter.

"Utah's Performance Automotive Club of Enthusiasts (PACE) is not your everyday club. We, originally, were a group of friends that came together to create something more special than the regular "parking lot hang-out." Although we still enjoy and participate in that scene, we felt like it was time to start something more mature. We didn't want to start just any club, but instead assemble a mature group of genuine enthusiasts. Our mission is to become the epitome of automotive enthusiasts in Utah while maintaining a close bond with each member of the UtahPACE club and supporting Fairclough Racing with their goals as a thriving business. Our forum community was created in order to bring all enthusiasts from different "scenes" in Utah into one place where they can interact with each other and have more of a local feel to it along with helping aspiring enthusiasts develop their knowledge. However, there is a difference between UtahPACE the club and our forum community. While everyone is welcome to join our forum, people wishing to join UtahPACE the club will have to go through the new member process.

We are engineers, teachers, IT guys, marketing directors, and even university students. We all have a strong background and are confident in our goals and aspirations in life. This is more than a skin deep club of people who have all bought or have owned a cool car. While having a nice car is something that most automotive enthusiasts have, we want members with a good attitude, car knowledge, education, and other interests. The process for new members is for them to make an initial contact with one of the leaders. If the leader feels like the candidate has the qualities and traits we are looking for, the candidate will then be invited to two UtahPACE club meetings in which he will get to meet with the leaders and hang with us so we can get to know them and vice versa. The leaders will then come to an agreement unanimously about the candidate and he will be notified of the results via the original leader that the candidate made first contact with. If you would like to belong to this club of enthusiasts, please contact one of our leaders and we will be happy to talk with you and invite you to our next meet.

Thanks for visiting our brand new site and we are sure you will be hearing about us soon."

Getting code p0234 (engine overboost condition/diverter valve malfunction). I can't help but think this has something to do with the installation of the cobb sf intake, and the weather getting colder. If my understanding of things serves me correctly, I need to be adjusting my WGDC and target boost load tables. There is too much "slop" between the two figures and shoring that up could fix this.

Symptoms: severe hesitation under WOT post 5k rpm. Considering just going back to stock airbox, but would like to tune this out if possible. This did not occur prior to the install of the intake. Any thoughts here?

Go back to stock airbox unless you are running a bigger turbo...Just my opinion. You may have to rescale your MAF if you want to keep that intake. Matching up you WGDC and target boost load tables could help also, but my guess is the MAF has to be rescaled. But QUE SE YO (what do I know)???

I think you're right about going back to the stock airbox. For what its worth, it has been verified that the cobb sf intake does not change MAF inlet size, so rescale shouldn't be necessary, but I can't help but think you're right: I'm either overboosting or getting some irregular MAF readings, or potentially even both. going to drop the stock airbox back on and send a data log off to cobb. thanks for the input.

I'm pretty sure you need to change the restrictor pill in the boost control system. Call COBB tomorrow and they help you out.

Thanks! My friend finished the mold for the bellmouth a couple of weeks ago, manifold and turbine housing have been ported and are being coated right now.
This should be a fun summer.

You are absolutely correct, however I've already installed the boost pill suggested by Cobb (same time I got the AP). Thank you for your input though.
