Whats going on, I got the treadstone kit on an auto and I noticed something. I can punch it and full boost all the way with no problems but when I hit around 80-85 mph, its like all the pressure gets released through the bov without me letting off the gas. it acts like I took my foot off the gas when im around that speed and then i have to hit the gas again to start boosting to go past 80-85 mph. Anybody know what can cause this or had this problem before??

mine did that the other night, racing an rx-8, it was blowing off for half a mile, sounded awesome but wasn't helping me win. I'll have to get back to ya on this one, could be a number of things.

Rizzie

yea im waitin to get my car back to see what i can find out too but i just dont know. i was racing a z4, he pulled off on my but once i hit that 80 mark it slowed me down and he blew by me, woulda got my ___ kicked anyway but i would of liked to keep up with him somewhat lol

redrumtc

um is ur check eng light on it can respond that way.

Rizzie

yea cel is on but i had the codes pulled up twice and its due to it being too rich

redrumtc

are u tuned?

Rizzie

nope and im thinking that might be the problem but im getting the aem fic as soon as the plug and play harness comes out and then get it tuned once i get the money. next thing on the list afte the holidays

You really shouldn't be driving it like that without a tune anyway to be honest.

1. You should not really be driving without a tune.
2. You SHOULD NOT be boosting if you don't have a tune.
3. I cannot stress #2 enough, your just stressing your engine more and putting a lot more wear on it.
4. Not being tuned could be a reason why because you rich/leaned out or something and it stopped throttle.
5. It honestly could be numerous things, but please do not boost without being tuned, I don't want to see a thread up in a few days so "ooo I blew my motor, its treadstone fault" when you weren't even tuned.

redrumtc

tuneing bro is the way togo because ur car will get fup with out it never ever boost with out tuneing

deathbyc4

yea, get tuned first. i think mine may be something else.

Rizzie

yea i already plan on getting it tuned like i said but just gotta wait til after the holidays and waiting for the wiring harness for the aem fic comes through. anybody know when that should be hitting the shelves cause im not splicing into my ecu or having anyone else do it. id rather have that harness

Mightygnu

Contact Paul @ Dezod, he will be able to help you out.

Kumitsu

Amen !

Beantowntc

not only should you not be driving untuned you shouldnt be racing untuned either,,,,well maybe racing at all but thats another thread

take care of ya car

I agree the tuning is very important

OuterHeaven

I would contact Dezod for a PNP harness or I would try and contact Boomslang and ask them if they could make one for you. Also if that does not work see if you can get an extension and splice into that (thats what I do personally with my emanage). You have a 2007 correct??

There is a reason they call some of us "Tuners." And please don't race w/o the tune, or even try to avoid boosting, it'll just wreck the engine.
