well...hopefully fixing the leak fixes everything. Tony at EMS knows his stuff no doubt.
There should not be an issue with teh fue pump, especially since my car is pretty low miles (25K) but it may have just been a bad batch or something. We'll know after the leak is fixed. Most cars have not had this issues, and tony said he'd never seen this on any of the tCs he's tuned..so it's probably just something wrong with my car.

Yeah! It was nice meeting you, shdw...and thanks for the ride back to the hotel.

But i really think the bolts either fell out on the drive to AZ or during the dyno tuning...cause that was much more then my car has been through, but I should have keept on top of them and checked the stuff...

I'm sure it's gonna be awseome when i get it back next week!

"already"
and NO! He came to see the dyno and ended up having to drive me home in his tundra! But I think he's getting even more then the expected! He didn't see that post on Todd's oil catch can/valve cover project...

damn...don't remember where the thread is, but his oil catch can setup is a full valve cover replacemnet (powerdered coated and TT labeled of cousre!) that is drilled out to have the can on it, but some stuff has to be moved to show the badass catch can...and I think the whole setup is a few hundren dollars...

Dont feel bad Ace! I missed it too! LOL...i dont even know half of what Todd is realy doing to my car, he likes to surprise me! WHICH I DONT MIND! Sadly the lsd and clutch are gonna have to wait just a bit...ran into financial trouble, so once this stuff is installed and i get the car back the build is gonna slow considerably

But it shouldnt be long at all before everything is back to normal and the build can continue! The scionlife curse got me too! Got me REAL good...

But Phil...it was a pleasure meeting u as well! Hope everything goes smoothly with the tune and if u manage to find that thread post the link! Id love to see what im gettin!

well, honestly, we got one decent run down at 6 psi and the numbers were about 15hp less then my last numbers, but this was a dynapack and my last numbers were a dynojet.

So I"m expecting the new numbers to be a little lower, just a lot smoother and more drivable.
I just found out my buddy has a connection and I can get free dynojet pulls here in town! So after I get my numbers from the dynapak in AZ, I'll throw it on the dynojet in NV and we can compare...

not sure yet...he was leaving for dirt races when he told me...and doug's only $25 total? No strap down fee or anything? How many pulls for $25?

I had my crack at 2 but my duty cycles were all off due to my bend WG Diaphram...
