Yes, I understand you completely, and I am also looking into investment property, and I already have a car payment, and I would only end up having to pay maybe 150 more a month, plus with the car insurance I would save by not having two cars on my policy. Its not too crazy.

I love this explination.

I am at a real crossroads right now and im not sure where to go. I have a good setup now (Laser RS-T and 2k Maxima 5spd) but with my promotion at my job I am really able to afford more of a car. I really like the E46 M3 and have the ability to afford a 2001-2003 if I sold th Laser and traded in...

I have a palm m100, mmcd, and a cable I bought from someone on dsmtuners. looks like he makes them himself and sells them along with the software. I want to excersise all options before I sent the cabe back as defective.

I was under the impression that +10 was the baseline for dsms. My logger tells me it recognizes a modem whenever i try to hotsync it to my car. im pretty sure the plugs are in the right spot, how did you set it up?

Well I wasnt sputtering before I put the s-afc on so it shouldnt be boost leaks. I have everything set with the rpms, karman, and 4yl configuration. the boost is at about 11psi. Im not sure what the "dec air" option does on th afc right now it is at thr ***, low +10, high +10, that was the way I...

I am having a hard time tuning my car, I just want my baseline settings until I can get my datalogger to work. and the car sputters when I mash the throttle and blows black smoke (rich). Any help?

to do base tuning on the afc, what am I supposed to be doing on it. with the settings now I have karmen, +-3 correction, 4 cyl arrow up. When I look at my gauges afl shows 0. Whats next?

Yea, injectors are next, as well as the softwae for my datalogger. So are we all agreed on 13psi with the stock fuel system? lol

Ok now that I have my afc installed correctly, I will be taking my car to the local shop where they are going to help me tune the afc. Before I do this I have a few questionsHow much boost should I tune for? Right now it is at about .7bar (10.15psi)What is the max boost my setup can...

Both wiring diagrams are different, some have it one place some have it in another......totally stumped

I was idling at 1100 and it was showing about 600 and as it rose, the afc did but by a lot less. my idle is also up and down too which wasnt before. I double checked my connection where vfaq says to do it and its not starting at all.

In the install manual it says to connect the rpm wire to the 16pin clip on the ecu however it doesnt read accuratly at all. in the vfaq it states to connect it to the 4th wire from the left on the bottom of the 24 pin clip. when I did that the car wouldnt start (electric shut off). any ideas?

What did you gap your spark plugs to? I gapped mine and it went away.
