You're waiting on your kit too? have you heard of him lately? Im waitng on some parts too but he hasnt responded to my txt and hasnt read my pm

tainoxl

Well he read my pm but has not responded, but I think I know why, I was trying to get a base map for the FIC. I did text him two weeks ago and he text me back that he was shooting for this past week for shipping so I emailed him to day on status of shipping, see how that goes. My frustrations are starting to get at me again. Waiting since May of last year for a simple kit. I still give him the benefit of the doubt, but its getting harder and harder.

xb2 right? maybe ask cory for a fic map, or maybe some tc tune would work.. I havent heard from him last week, i expected my stuff that he shipped around jan 7th (supposedly) but still hasnt gotten here.. if its lost or he didnt ship it i dunno..

tainoxl

Yeah I been looking at a couple tc tunes and comparing them. With the fic calibrated and my maf clamped for my car I can make small adjustments to get me going. All I need is to idle good and be able to take a 2hr trip to the tuner. If it ever happen as I am losing more interest by the day.

So you're clamping your maf? your planning to run without it? Wouldnt it throw the ecu to safe "dummy" mode... As long as you have a decent map to run and idle in vacuum you should be good, i drove mine 6 hrs to the tuner

tainoxl

I may have confused you . But aem recomends that you clamp and log your maf while still NA then tune the areas in boost. Def not planing to run without. 6hrs to a tuner is a hike, and I was complaining about driving more than 2. Either way I am still waiting to find out the status of my kit before I wire in my FIC as there is no PNP harness for the XB2.

hmm i didnt know about that clamping the maf... boomslang doesnt make one yet? that sucks.. someone should gather some interest and request to make one

I'm still waiting for my kit to since oct of 07. He hasn't responded to my pm about status either. Ace aren't you friends with Todd?

Wow you guys are extrememly patient. I was upset at waiting 2 to 3 months for a kit for my Mazda3 and I was lucky as they wait ended up being longer than that for others.
IMO thats unexceptable, especially a year. WOW!

Good luck with it. I've been wanting to hear how a running kit on a xB is.

I dont know todd personally, Im no different as the rest of his customers..lol Hope we all get our stuff soon, and him improving his business.. With ptuning kit on the market its gonna be hard competition for him if things stay the same

Lets try not to get this thread locked. As frustrating as it may be, at least he is trying to still get our parts out to us.

coryjames

you can drive no problem dont cange any settings the car runs fine as long as you dont get to throtttle happy did you wire in the fic this weekend?

Cwatz5219

Its hard cause the frustration is building up all over again

tainoxl

No not yet way to cold out this past weekend plus other commitments. Maybe this weekend.

tainoxl

I hear ya, it worst when folks ask you about it and all you you can say is I dont know. Hang in there I'm pretty sure it should not be much longer.

While waiting for the kit maybe you can start buying some install parts if you havent done it already

tainoxl

I have just about every thing I need. I was ready for install months ago. All I need is the kit and 4 hours.

Cwatz5219

i pretty much have everything myself. Oil, filter, gauges, my buddies tool case, and plenty of man power lol. all i need now is the kit plus 8 or so hrs
