Same issue here, not activating launch maps with EVO 8 ECU.

From what I've read, 1G timing is very aggressive. The timing tables on the ECU were more to my liking I guess, I'm running the cute 14b at 15 pounds. I haven't done any real WOT runs yet, those open loop table are back to stock because they were way too lean. I guess I shouldn't be doing...

I can't wait for tomorrow's update.*6,600+ tech posts? C'mon, Bud.I'll be in Sioux Falls cruising tonight with my TSI!

We need to meet up soon! I drive to SUFU everyday!

What seller did you purchase from? Godspeed?

I dipped my wheels, best stuff ever.

ECU's can do all sorts of funny things when they go. I have one that will run on two cylinders, and another that runs fine, but keeps the MPI relay active with the key off. I'm willing to be that after sitting for a while and then finally seeing power one of or many of the capacitors popped.1...

I had nice 6cm and 7cm exhaust housings I just got rid of! :(

I know 420a's valve stem seals always seem to go out..

Built in turbo timer...

Heater core hoses, Fiav hoses, coolant hoses to turbo.
