Eh, I have methanol for intake cooling, I'll probably just leave it hooked up. Oh and thanks for your instructions Steve they were very good. We will be tuning mine in the next week or so, and my mechanic wants to talk to you before we start, if you're alright with that.
Oh, I also noticed the fuel pump is a little louder when it primes, than it was before the install, is that normal?

What are you using to tune with? You should have a wideband regardless.
My understanding is that, it is normal for the fuel pump to be louder. The stock computer can run the fuel pump at a lesser rate for priming. When the MT is in control of the fuel pump it just runs it at full bore to prime it and once the engine kicks over you wont heard it anymore.
Again, this is my understanding. FWIW, Im quite sure that the stock ECU was left in charge of the fuel pump to avoid the priming noise.

For those not interested in removing the EGR - have you looked inside your intake manifold lately? One of the best "free" mods I did...
That's what my brother said too. I guess on the stock ECU it limits the voltage on the inital prime.

Ok... but how are you going to tune or even know what your afrs are without a wideband? It doesn't matter what type of build you are doing, you still need to know what your afrs are.
The manual doesn't require one. Do I need one or two? If just one , then which position do I install it ? thanks

Without lookin it up I believe they replace the O2 sensor for more thorough air fuel information.

Is there a map for running over 17 psi for the LT10s? I have 565cc injectors!

Just use the base 550 map (if you bought it from Steve), and then lower the mixtrm value slightly. You'll have to fine tune obviously.

-17C this morning and my car wouldn't start LOL. I have tried adding fuel to the crank values in this range, but still not working. Anyone have some ideas?

We're getting a lean spot on tip in, anyone know how I can correct that? I don't know if it is in the tune at all because it did the same thing with the stock ECU and with the Unichip. I bought the Microtech to try and tune it out but now I am thinking the tune may not be the problem. It goes lean for a second as soon as I put my foot down. Usually it goes away quickly, but sometimes it lasts a little longer. Could it be a bad TPS? Or something else?
