Default Just installed Greddy TT...SLIP light always on and VDC always off

Like the title says, Just pulling out of my driveway for the first test drive today the VDC OFF light is on and so is the SLIP light. I searched for some stuff, but all I got was a possible backwards MAF (which it isn't) or they said it could be going into limp mode with no throttle response (which it isn't). I have only put 25 miles on it, but it feels perfect. Perfect throttle response, it is boosting to 0 psi (haven't punched it yet cause i want to break in the turbos some) and it feels great. Any ideas on what could be causing this. BTW, I still have stock everything except testpipes (wheels included) and there is no SES or CEL.

Did you disconnect the steering knuckle next to the driver side header/cat? If so, and you tightend the knuckle with the steering wheel rotated in a slightly different spot, the computer will be confused.

lovetoclown...yes the steering wheel is a little off, I was planning on fixing it tommorow morning, so that is probably it. Weird thing is, later tonight it just magicaly stopped keeping the light on. But i will be fixing the steering knuckle tommorow.

Yup...the steering colum is mis-aliged. Straighten it out...and you will be fine. Congrats on the install.

thanks for the help guys

gq...i think im gonna be in charlotte on thursday afternoon to dyno my car and then check this car meet out a friend told me about in Concorde at the Quaker Steak and Lube restuarant at 4pm. It was started by some guys on supraforums so i'm guessing there will be some pretty nice cars there. If you are free, you should come by, I'd love to see your car in person.

Ok, first...that has to be the most disgusting name I have ever heard for a restaurant!

Second, i would love to meetup. Just tell me when and where. Where are you getting your car dynoed at? I am not really working on Thurs, so I could stop by anytime. PM me with details. Sweet!!

Just so you all know...fixing the steering fixed the problem....and on the more important note, OMG this thing is fast now that I got it broke in. I am still smiling, can't wait to see how much she puts down.
