So, I finally get around to installing this thing. Everything is setup in the car, double and tripple check the wiring. Try to start the car, sounds like it wants to go. Then nothing. So I give it a few more tries and still nothing. I start checking everything and sure enough the fuse is blown.

Ok, so I replace the fuse and give it another shot. As soon as I turn the key boom the fuse blows again. Now this is a brand new unit. It has been in the garage for 1 month while I was tuning the car.

So I start doing some poking around and it seems that this is a common problem for these units.

Here is the Thread on the AEM site, where the AEM Techs will not post anything.
Twinfire blows fuse at key-on


So if you are still thinking about buying one of these please do not. I will have to mail this back to AEM and deal with their bullshit. Feel free to ask me any questions.
