Just figured I should post this up in here:

Year of vehicle: 2005
Tranny: manual
Injector size: 650cc
MAF piping size: 3"
Recirc BOV: NO...HKS
Upgraded Fuel pump: No
UEGO: Yes...AEM
FIC Version: 3.01...now 3.04
Tune: profesional with minor tweaking
I was one of the fist with the F/IC. My (honda) tuner had a real hard time with it, but got it running. Since then, I got many maps from many others and tried them out...software is REALLY easy to work with.
I then started self tuing some of the base maps I got and had decent results at low boost.
Recently, I went tu UMS tuning in AZ who did many test, spoke with AEM and discovered some issue with the unit and our cars. After wireing up some resisters, and replaceing my bad 02 sensor, the unit started behaving properly...now all is well and I'm making 296whp at 9psi, and that's on a safe, rich tune.
Overall, I am very satisfied and feel that the F/IC is the best and easiest to modify piggyback out.

I would say either call up Henry at AEM or Tony at UMS...if I get a chance, I'll look at my box and see if I can see anything different, but I'm not good with electrical stuff...maybe I'll have aen look at it instead...

i certainely hope not cause i really dont want to be doing anything extra after a long azz turbo install

^ This is correct
2.2k ohm resistor between the Cam1 MAGI+ and Cam1 MAGI-

according to this:
http://forum.aempower.com/forum/inde....0;attach=3721
they are pins 9 and 10 on the 24 pin connectors...at least for the 05-06 tc.

I was Sean Church's first FI/C and i am running with absolutely nooo problems. no stall, sputters, nothing. Didnt have to add anything to it either. :/
