so as many of you know i recently went turbo with the greddy turbo kit.. and this shop installed it here in san marcos.. and when i went all the way to long beach on monday to get it tuned Shaun Church told me that the ECU isn't even connected right.. so the two shops talk and it turns out he installed my ultimate the way the emanage blue is suppose to be installed and that answers your guys' question on why i can drive my car without engine management.. so i called the shop that installed my turbo and they tried charging me an extra fee and i argued and said that you guys installed it wrong and it wasn't my fault.. i drove all the way to Greddy in Irvine and he did a step by step print out and highlighted everything that shop needed to know to wire it correctly and Greddy was also nice enough to load they're base map on the ultimate for me.. so in result i want to say thanks to Greddy for they're help.. and tomorrow is the big day to see if my turbo install is actually finished so i can actually see the potential of my turbo kit.

just goes to show how hard it is to find a good and reliable shop.

You didnt just get the pnp harness?
Anyways hope it gets fixed. Anytime ive called greddy theyve been more than helpful

Mightygnu

Shouldve gotten the PNP harness. But glad you chose Church's to tune you. Shawn is a great guy!

its good they found the problem early.. shouldve gotten pnp harness though, totally worth it. but goodluck

well the pnp was just extra money when my shop said that they would install it, i believed they would.. at this rate i might not get a good tune until i do my full exhaust with hopefully some help with some fellow members on these forums i might be getting parts from.. as of right now i'm only going to run the base map that greddy put on my ultimate..

Mightygnu

get your exhaust and then get it tuned! can't wait to see the results!

well like i said if all goes well with 2 members on this forum i'll have my exhaust by next week.. i'm deciding whether to turn up the boost when i tune.. but that means i have to get a boost controller..

make sure you pick up an electronic boost controller if you want to be able to hold any kind of consistent boost

get methanol and you can run 10psi all day

^^My manual boost controller works consistently (Turbo XS).

And you don't need methanol to run 10 PSI daily with reliability, just a good tune. I run more than that and have no methanol at all, as well as this still being a daily driven vehicle. If you are going to run methanol, you would be safe to go up to 14 PSI, maybe a little more, granted the tune is good.

consistent boost on a manual boost controller here as well.

tcdaily

well i was thinking how is that aem tru boost gauge? because if i have to get a boost gauge now and a boost controller down the road why don't i just get one with both?

java09

i have the tru boost and have no complaints with it! good luck with everything.

so my car is at that shop again so they can rewire everything and they said overnight.. then i bought a turbo timer from them.. (greddy 90 dollars.. is that a deal?) and 60 dollars to install..

aen

installation should be free, you should do it yourself.
