I have only done business with CFT. That's where I got my dyno... I am making a tuning appt on Monday for FRI 25th... Maybe they can tune a s/c tc and t/c tc the same day Then we hit Orlando Speedway at night

I say learn as much as you can yourself as far as tuning goes cause otherwise your always at the mercy of tuners ( they will a$$ rape you in my area)...... plus piggybacks arent overly complex

yeah that's a good point... was it you who was posting in another thread about how you're learning a lot right now by reading a bunch of literature on tuning and engine properties? or was that someone else..?

also, do you guys feel a lot more lurching when you let off the gas and then gently accelerate again? i can really feel the letting on and off of the throttle more... it's a pretty big lurch compared to stock.. is that normal?

Nope. that would not help. Mine does that as well, but it's due to the turbo spolling and slowing down, along with the different fuel curves needed when in and out of boost.

When you let off and get out of boost, obviously your TQ goes back down to stock, and your piggyback sees that you are out of boost so you no longer need as much fuel, so it pulls more, which also makes the car lurch.

If it gets really annoying, just starting putting the clutch in instead of just letting off the gas and keeping it in gear.

oh ok. i see. man, it is pretty annoying though haha. it even does it when i'm on cruise control on the highway, that's what i don't get. it's not just when i'm getting on the gas and suddenly letting off. it's the smallest change in throttle (cruise control on a flat surface barely changes throttle but it's enough for my car to lurch back and forth on the highway).

yeah, that's why i'm thinking it's an issue. i would understand a quick lurch if i all of a sudden got off boost... but it happens when i'm vacuuming as low as -20s

it couldn't be the new clutch just being broken in could it? that wouldn't really make sense.
