Lol, that wouldn't be fair either! You had the best running stock car ever! Haha. Get your maestro dialed in and I'm down.

**mec** · 10-07-2012 10:09 PM

I'm Stage 2 Maestro now actually! And its better than APR 2+ surprisingly. As soon as I figure out how to use Maestro I will go back to being 2+ lol. I would be down for some runs once I get maestro going. I am planning on throwing on my FMIC this week, and exhaust with GTX2867 stock internals next week :)

**jimrobbington** · 10-07-2012 10:31 PM

Nice! I didn't know you had maestro going too! Hows the boost now?

**seal66** · 10-08-2012 06:39 AM

Oh John, don't be afraid of the stock car lol. Even though it does run damn well on both stock and a base file stage 1 tune.

**jimrobbington** · 10-08-2012 08:20 AM

I ain't scurred!

**drumnjuny** · 10-08-2012 09:11 AM

someone say we should do some runs??

**jimrobbington** · 10-08-2012 09:17 AM

I would like to see how much faster your car is, as long as I don't want to slit my wrists afterwards from depression

**drumnjuny** · 10-08-2012 09:21 AM

haha, but knowing the sticker price on my car... no one should slit their wrists over me beating them... but as it is right now its still pretty fast, i just can't wait to get this thing donnneeeeee FML lol

**Operator** · 10-08-2012 10:26 AM

Stop all the jib jab, and let's get some dyno's posted........

**drumnjuny** · 10-08-2012 10:33 AM

I can't wait to get this thing finished and then dyno up here at altitude, see what it is like lol. hopefully close, if i go to a DJ. Ray said this and I agree... i'm going to whatever dyno JR got his 302wtq run on!!! lol!

**seal66** · 10-08-2012 10:36 AM

Ha ha. I am gonna dyno the car on a stage 1 revised tune, then once my fmic shows up, I will do a stage2+ revision for my fuel pump and if and see what happens.

**slvrb7** · 10-13-2012 11:12 AM

i am down to get maestro once someone figures it all out and can help me dial my car in ;)

**Italiano** · 10-13-2012 12:36 PM

That's the thing about maestro, you don't have to go to a tuner. You log your own car by doing some 3rd/4th gear pulls, email them to a tuner like RAI, then they email you back a new tune and you install it yourself. They say it takes about 5 revisions to nail down a good tune, maybe less depending on what mods/stage you are.

**slvrb7** · 10-16-2012 08:06 PM

**CorneliusRox** · 10-25-2012 06:20 AM

JR, you have a new FMIC (well used, but new to you ha ha), and carbon cleaning. Gap you plugs, and then go grab another dyno!

Believe me, I want to. I would love to know the difference. But with the baby, and wife not working, I can't justify scraping up $90 for a dyno right now. I want to gap my plugs back up again and see if I get any fuel cuts/misfires again though. It ran so amazingly.

**thenofjboy** · 10-25-2012 05:22 PM

^ remind me what ur plugs are gapped to?

It doesnt take that long to gap them, I know you know that but curious if it changes anything as you described above-

**seal66** · 10-25-2012 05:24 PM

oh come on JR.Your making big bucks now lol. How is the little one? anyways If you need anything let me know

Ok, so I gapped my plugs (bkr7e) up to .037 brand new. Ran supera mazingly for a couple days. even gained a couple pounds of boost. then out of the blue, I got some light misfires/fuel cuts at wot. Couldn't tell which. So I gapped them back to .032 and still has a couple more. Slapped the vag on it, and couldn't reproduce the issue. Switched all four coilpacks, and it hasn't happened since.

So now, I want to regap to .037 again, and see if I get any problems with the new coil packs. Just can't determine what the issue was. Fueling, or spark related...

??? Question ??? So... I just purchased Maestro from Eurodyne (tapp).. When I get it in, Read my ECU, send it to Tapp. Get my file, install, and do some 3rd/4th gear pulls... Can I send to RAI.... and then RAI will tune my file?? Even if I didnt purchase Maestro from them???

Get you in laws to live with you! I built a mother in law cabin in the back of our house, and they watch our little bugger. We still pay them $500 a month, but it is family and they are basically on 24/7 call.

What mods do you have? I might be interested in this.

**B72.0T** · 12-05-2012 09:58 PM

After making 190whp/231wtq on the dyno without a aftermarket downpipe, I am hoping to be at least at 200whp after I've had the DP installed, and an intercooler+cai installed soon. I will get it redyno'd and I'll let you guys know.

looks like that's crank hp? how much did the runs cost you at Carz?

**jimrobbington** · 12-07-2012 01:22 PM

Nope, that's wheels. $85 without a/f and boost, I think. That's where I got 221/302 at the wheels

**jimrobbington** · 12-08-2012 12:17 PM

Looking awesome, even though I hate you for it. Once I get my lpfp in, we can do some pulls. Although it's still been feeling really strong today and yesterday even.

I was surprised at the numbers and how quick it came on. I need to do a LPFP since my mileage has been dropping as well. I am really wanting to get my bmp+ and w/m hooked up while I am home. I also need my fmic and hpfp. I wanna see what the little ko3 can do before I throw my christmas present on.

Let me know when you are free. I wanna do some runs and help with the lpfp install if I am still here
