^^^ Well I am not looking to go to wild with it. Dyno tune will be this wednesday. As long as its running safely, I dont really care what it puts down for power. Its going on a DynoDynamics anyway, so the numbers will read low regardless.

Oh and for those who are wondering, the tC put down 245 to the wheels on the dynodynamics at 8psi.
I was having some issues with it, backfiring and dying out, long story short is that the OE ECU and wiring harness got swapped out and the car is running fine now, but I ended up going with a new exhaust, which seems to be causing boost spikes and my AFR's are now off. I have been street tuning it myself to try to get things where they should be, but I keep getting what feels like misfires. Same time that the misfire happens I see a drop in AFR's, down to like 10.2, So I am slowly making small adjustments to get it running correctly. I am gonna Data log a 4th gear pull on my way home tonight and tune off of that in hopes to fix all the rich spots.

Haha "love" that's funny crap your tc get any better gas mileage after boosting? Jw I'm waiting on mine to get out of the shop it's got the descendant kit on it and I've not got to drive it yet because I broke off the t for my oil feed in the head
Honestly, I love your bumper. I want mine to look exactly like that, but I am deathly afraid of the shops around here. They don't exactly provide the highest quality work. How much did the pillar delete + filling cost? (aka no lip mold)

Btw, the exterior is almost 100% back to stock. Spoilers, front bumper, cf hood are all off the car now. I'm working on a new look for the tC, hopefully I'll get the things in my head onto the car soon. As soon as I have something worth showing you guys, I'll post up.
