Default HOLD On THE E.S.K Guys

Hold on the E.S.K. from Turbo East.

When I installed it, the car was having trouble running right...but I was attributing that to the Harness and Emanage. Since then, I have been working to resolve the issue. But at this point, several other have got the kit and tapped direct and seem to be having problems running right.

Working it out now.

I'm waiting to hear back from Turboeast.

When I installed it, the car shifted fine, but idled really bad. Since then, I removed everything and have been working with the harness and emanage trying to get it to work right. I sent the whole unit to ZPI (harness, emanage, ESK) and they too had problems with the harness and emanage with the ESK.

I have since heard a few others tapped direct and the car won't shift right. Not sure what's going on, but we will find out and resolve the problem. Mine shifted fine, but ran bad.

I hate going first.

I spoke with Sam at Turboeast. He said they have another TC local that is shifting fine. We are currently checking to see if the other 2 tapped the wrong wires

ZPI tested it out and had problems at high rpm shifting and the car didn't run good at all. They disconnected it and it ran fine. Kenny is trying to find out why this is an issue.

When I installed it, I added Emanage at the same time because the Dezod harness will not work without it. Well, the car ran bad, but shifted fine. I just didn't hit high rpm's because of Emanage issues.

I removed the ESK from the harness and it still ran bad, so again, I didn't attribute that to the ESK, but emanage. I sent the emanage, ESK and harness to Kenny. The harness and Emanage was a problem (another topic). The ESK is also a problem, but Kenny was checking out the ECU wiring at last check yesterday.
