Ok so now I get to ask a question. what is an IAT? oh and had a wierd thing happen. The car as I reported was running very fast but I didn't raise the boost. I had forgotten to reset the ECU so I did that Sunday. After the reset the car is slow again. I am confused, and mad..... But I am not mad becuase I am confused. (Caboose Red vs. Blue) Any Ideas?

not sure what happened with yours. but I just wanted to add that I've noticed since the MAF relocation Im getting ~310 miles per tank as opposed to ~285 that I was getting before. So that makes me happy.

IAT = Intake Air Temperature sensor.
Did the outside air temp change much from between when it felt faster to when it felt slower? Or maybe your IC was heatsoaked if it's stock?

Colder Maybe but not enought to have made that big of a difference. i have a Hiboost FMIC. I want cams so bad, I had them in my last MSP and it helped a lot. I have heard that were not good for the car in the long run though.

How did you reset the ECU? I reset mine recently and it should not have made the car any slower at all. Faster, perhaps, but not slower.

Just unhooked the battery for about 2 hours. It really does feel different. Just got back from lunch and still slower but seems to be coming back. Very odd. I will give it a couple of days and see. I just need more HP, wish there was a relatively cheap way to gain some power.

Yeah just worried about messing up the motor. Although I would think that
8-9 should be fine. Might try it tonight. Thanks

just to share... I have done the spring mod too, and had no problems what so ever and it has been on there a while now. IMO it is safer than a manual boost controller and if the spring fails, you just return back to stock boost.

Thanks for the back-up. I did it last night and it is working great. I just had a new turbo put on the car and when they put all of the hoses back on 2 of them were not clamped down all of the way. I found them this morning about 6:45 on an off ramp on the interstate. Guess the extra boost pushed them loose. No harm though just got my handy tool kit outa the trunk and fixed it. Drives great good power. Thx again
