Default Tuned

Well, yeah, i'm tuned. CornBredTuning in Lafayette, IN. Towed it down there, did 3 hours of street tuning, running great. I got a little boost creep, but i've got an electronic boost cut at 9.5 PSI, 4700 2-step launch, shift light, rev limiter, and overall it was great.

My Tial Knock-off BOV is surging quite a bit, i'm working on cutting hte spring/finding a new one now, and also my IACV went bad so my idle is going crazy, but replace the IACV and get a nice new BOV and i guess i should be good.

Boost is fun except i keep blowing couplers evenw ith the t-bolts, but i'm going to hair-spray it soon. Probably have a video up once i get my BOV working well.

I also haven't been leaking a DRIP of oil in months, and a few days before my tune i started leaking from either my main seal or cam seal.....thas always fun. Ugh Andy (my tuner) mentioned the "tuners curse" of something alwasy going wrong before the tune and i agree haha seemed like a lot of things went wrong right before the tune, but it worked out in the end.
Woop! Been a long time coming

glad to hear it
I've only blown 1 coupler in a year of boosting 9psi on my old turbo/engine setup, maybe you need longer ones or smaller t-clamps that can clamp tighter.
Looking forward to the video as well.
I'm getting tuned in boost in about two weeks after I get my new clutch in, I just ordered an ACT w/ heavy duty pressure plate + 6 puck sprung race disc

nice, yeah i asked about my clutch and he said i baby my car/tranny more than ANYONE he's ever tuned, meaning i keep my RPMs lower than anybody and if i drive it like i normally do, my clutch will be just fine, which is a good feeling. I revved my car higher than i EVER have during the tune, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up hearing my little y7 rev that high, but it boosted (pun intended) my confidence knowing how i drive it on a daily basis.

I cut the spring on my BOV and i'm still surging, i'm thinking about just getting a legit GReddy one instead of dicking with this Tial knock-off more and more.

Also my radiator is all f*cked up still, this is very frustrating and i think its my thermostat actually. Ugh. And i can't find an IACV for cheap anywhere, but oh well, at least i'm tuned
