All I see is a pile of tires and wheels. Those could be from anywhere. As stated above, if not on the car then they didn't happen.

Yes it is but something is holding her back.
She recently got the 16T and N/A cams and feels about the same as the last dyno run.
She should be alot better than she is!

I'm sure that if anybody can figure it out, it's you. I need a new turbo - anyone selling an 18T? LOL

LOL it is annoying. I think something is telling the ECU to back off on stuff.
But eventually I think I will figure it out. I just hope it does not take a stand alone ECU system to get it.

If I hear of anyone selling a 18T I will let you know.

Just a little update.
The car is now running and performing better. I found out that the front O2 was going bad causing alot of issues. No codes were ever stored for the front O2 being bad.
The AFR'S are way better now. Fuel mileage is alot better now as well.

Still acting up a little now and then but the car acts way better now.
