I haven't tried that yet. I just found a friend that has a scan tool so I'm going to get it sometime tomorrow.
For now i'm going to try to get it started on the stock ecu, just so I know its not the emanage and so I can eliminate a variable. I probably won't get to work on my car until monday or so. I need to get this thing running soon, and tuned.
I'm a bit frustrated so I need to get away from the car for a bit, and relax. When I get frustrated and impatient, I tend to screw up more things so I'm going to walk away for a bit and brainstorm on the problem. Hurts to see my car run perfectly for 4 years, and then me throw a turbo on it and mess the hell out of it. lol Hurts a bit on the inside. But yeah, troubleshoot on monday.

I was starting to think that turning my DD into a boostmobile was a bad idea. I'm thinking that might be true now. Expensive hobby, and I'm way over my head now. lol.

sorry to hear man! I hear you on the expensive thing! I hope I can get this thing reliable...I don't need it dying on me everywhere. hahaha. Its hard doing this car thing as a full time student. I've dumped nearly every penny i've made since I was 16 into this car. I'd hate to see it go out like this.

I believe I found the problem. I think I fouled out my two step colder plugs within 200 miles untuned driving around to get my spipe fixed. I threw in my stock plugs + stock ecu and my car fires up but idles horribly. I'm figuring its because i'm running stock ecu + stock plugs + 550 injectors. It wants to die but will stay on.
