Actually I could hit up some boost tubes too. I'm pretty sure if we do a GB I could come up with a list ;-)

i would say once you upgrade the turbo then definately get the grim ebcs. its obviously better for you if your running stock or not thats why its out there, but my opinion is do it once u upgradeQuote:

If you plan on upgrading down the road, sure why not get it, but it is a little bit of work to tune again. If you like tinkering go ahead but if not just leave it as.Quote:

The new access port manager? or new ATR?
AccessTuner = ATR
Good to know... that kinda sucks.
From what I've read on MSF, it's attaching the wrong serial number to every map so it won't match up when you go to flash.
The tuning part doesn't bother me, I've been self tuning for a while now and know that in 3 port to cut things in half in the WGDC and go from there. I'm not sure if I'll upgrade turbo's down the road (might be way down the road when I have a second vehicle)...but seems like for the $100-150 bucks, why not?Quote:

When you open ATR, in the top application title bar you should see your serial number in the brackets (<serial number here>). For the new version of ATR they list if it's a V2 or V3 access port, so it shows as "(V2: <serial #>)" within the title bar if everything is working correctly.Quote:

I got it up to 120 anyway by keeping under 3k rpm, and it didn't happen the rest of the drive home. Was this likely caused by the computer adjusting to running rich while idling, and then the sudden change from idling for over 5 minutes, to accelerating abruptly, causing unburnt fuel to dump out? I was scared my turbo had blown for a second!

Its fine, just carbon blowing out.
Check for a leak in the intake.
Carbon build up probably.Quote:

You need someone to install the two bolts and two little clamps for you?
You can get orings anywhere, go to the parts store (napa, parts source, canadian tire, princess auto).
Got the internals and the intake installed today so thought might as well get him to put on the bpv as well. Anyways thanks for the reply ill check part source tomorrow thanks.Quote:
