you can run a test pipe with an mil eliminator. casper electronics on summit makes them. should get you around the obdII issue.

 

Shit, im about to just unbolt the downpipe, but that loud obnoxious exhaust noise gets very annoying after a while. Plus I can't afford anymore tickets.

 

Well... see, that confused me. First you said you were tuned with an E-manage. Then now, you are just running the FMU.

 

Shane.. PM Thermal, he knows his stuff, he did all the piping/exhaust on my hatch.

 

No, Im sorry for the confusion, what I meant to say is.... As of right now Im running the E-manage as well as the FMU, but Im only running the FMU with the E-manage right now in order to keep my fuel from going lean until I get my 550cc injectors. As soon as I get the injectors the FMU is coming off. When we first tuned it with only the E-manage, the car was running really lean in the higher rpms as the boost kicked in, so we added the FMU in addition to the E-manage to maintain good fuel pressure to the stock injectors. Even tho the car is tuned on low boost right now, it actually pulls harder than I thought it would.

Dave....I have heard that thermal does good work before, I think hes friends with Kevin("si"ngle cam) who told me in the past about his work. Thanks for looking out bro. I know if he touched your hatch, well....we have all seen the outcome, and well 600+hp, yeah, Ithink I will take his/your advice...hahaha. Love to see that hatch run in person tho man, sorry I missed the last trip to the track my car was all apart and I missed it. I see you at the shop one day soon.

 

I see.... that's crazy man. What size injectors are you using now? I'm really suprised that the set-up is drivable like that. Normally, a tuned e-manage takes an input from the stock MAP sensor to configure fuel calculations. So, I'm assuming that you are NOT using a missing link neither. Just an FMU + a previously tuned e-manage.

Yup, I did Kevin's first turbo set-up from junkyard parts I had laying around. That was one of my first projects. That shit ran great too. How's Kevin? Havent heard from him in a while. Goodluck man. If you are local, come stop by and I can share of the the stuff I know.

 

I will def stop by one weekend and Ill try to get Kevin to come with me too I actually talked to him yesterday and Im planning on hanging out with him soon. Back to the car talk now, Im not running a missing link because like you said, i dont need to with the E-manage. My car actually runs really strong right now, I just get a CEL because of my cat. clogging. I didnt do the tune, actually "Gene" on here did the tune and the installation of the kit. Its just a basic tune right now that way I can drive my car daily. As for the injectors they are stock LS 1.8 injectors.
