That sucks, you should PM someone about that. I don't know how it varies based upon user name, I have storage for 500 sent and received.

Crush sent me his spare harness...AWESOME GUY!!
I have another FIC on the way to me as well, should arrive on Thursday along with the harness...that should be a good day...starting issues will hopefully be resolved then.
Crush also answered my phone call today, I think I woke him up, but I was installing my new oil pressure gauge, Prosport > AEM (thanks to CarbonXE), and broke the fitting that goes into the block. I then walked a half a mile to Advanced Auto Parts and bought an easy-out set and after almost losing hope it came out.
I proceeded to install the Prosport Vac.Boost Gauge and Oil pressure gauges while breaking the harnesss to my Innovate DB Wideband (at the pins) so I have no wideband until I get in contact with Innovate to have a harness sent out but I trust my PTUNING tune so I can be without it for a few days but the Prosport gauges are sweet. I would have definitely chose them over the AEM.
Prosport + Innovate ---> PURE SEX
I literally started the gauge install around 5:30 and didn't finish until 11 lol!
I really need to get rid of my pillar pod too. Unless someone makes one that is a direct replacement for the stock pillar I think they all suck and the replacement would need to be the same color and have the same fabric, until then they all blow.
When Crush finds me a dash i'll be getting the dash pod.
If there was some way I could stuff B_Real, CarbonXe, Crush and a few other guys in my pocket and never leave home without them there is nothing that could go rong that can't be instantly be fixed. I mean literally Crush knew exactly what size washers and bolts would screw into the valve cover to hold the coil pack cover down off the top of his head....crazy.

I received a new FIC today that I bought from a SL member since the communication between Dezod and I have been few and far in between.
Toan @ PTUNING was exactly right, the new FIC fixed the starting issue I had. I even received Crush's PNP harness which I haven't put on yet but will pretty soon so I can send mine off to be repaired. The car fires up quicker than it did when I was NA. No rough starts, hard starts or no start situations. PTUNING are absolute GURU's!
I have a few minor issues left to be resolved:
- My new oil pressure gauge from Prosport works sometimes and other times it doesn't. It will read 0 psi when I first stat the car, cold or warm, and suddenly will start to sporadically work. I believe the issue is with the electronic sender, it may be defective but I know oil is flowing because when it kicks on it works like it should.
- I throw a P0138 CEL when i'm on the highway cruising. I think it is because of the de-fouler that I have on the 2nd O2 sensor. PTUNING actually tunes the car right so you don't need one of them or the sensor itself is bad. I have another secondary O2 that I can try out and remove the defouler.
- I have a new Innovate LC-1 wideband sensor to put on and calibrate.
Wow....the bulk of the issues are all resolved.
I am now locked into a dispute with Lethal Injection Motorsports for their tune which is complete garbage; I think anyone that saw that tune can verify just that.

is their electronic oil pressure gauge as easy to install as the aem oil pressure gauge? I don't want to use a sandwich adapter. I laready have one now for my oil cooler i dont think i can add another one or my filter is going to be scrapping everywhere i go

Like zat. Connector goes to the oil pressure gauge, line goes to the turbo, and that's it. Simple and clean. Also, almost 1 year of boost and not even the slightest sign of leakage :D.

The one that isn't plugged in. I never bothered plugging it in...never had any problems, no CEL...nothing lol. The connector is just sitting around somewhere.

Carbon, that's exactly how I have mine except I have the factory one plugged in too. So I have the one for the turbo, factory switch and electronic sender for the prosport gauge. That's why I know for a fact something is either wrong with the sender or the gauge.
