Default I finally got it AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!

Well just want to say that im officially in the FI face. I would like to say what a thrill to have TT's on the car. Right now im running out of the box tune with J&S safegaurd and that it retards half a degree of each PSI level. My A/F at WOT is in the mid 11 to a 10 and boost is at 5.5 for now. Anything that you guys would recommend me to do will be appreciated.

PS: singning off must go change my underwear

Jun im in miami not a member of the sfzcc

Yep i have a greddy TT

roncfpz and 002-M-P do you get a rattle when you are dropping rpm's at around 2500k or 3000 rmp japtrix told me that its becouse when the motor is accelerated it goes to the side and the turbos hit the side panel is this true.

Also my check engine light just turned on the car still runs fine my a/f is still the same what do you guys think it could be.

I have not noticed a rattle in that situation; will check later today. Did you install test pipes? SES light might be related to O2 sensor. I'm sure 002-M-P could better explain. If it's related to this I believe you can get an O2 sensor simulator to get rid of the SES light. Mine has been on since the install also. You can take it to some AutoZone stores and they can read the code.

Good luck!
Ron

Yea i already did it was the test pipes it was the catalyst efficency below threshold code was p0420 bank 1. Let me know you have to do it with the music off they told me it happens when the engine moves to the side when you step on it.

I've never heard any rattle like that in my car.

You might want to look into some engine dampener's if the rattle annoys u too much. I'm not sure which one's fit with the greddy TT though.

Many kits installed here and the only time we hear that is when the exhaust (downpipes, test pipes, y-pipe) is hitting the frame. What test pipes do you have? That may be causing it. Also may be an exhaust leak or some type.

I as thinking the same thing. On the cars we've done, I have never seen the turbo hit the subframe, and I doubt it would rattle on accel and decel...even if it did hit.

I have heard rattles, usually when some piece of the exhuast is hitting the frame rail, or the cross member in the center of the car.

well i have the megan test pipes i will go into a custom exhaust pretty soon hopefully at first they thought it was a pipe from the intercooler rubbing on the sway they put a rubber hose but it still continued. Ill try to find out as soon as i get car in the dyno.

Mine make a noise when I turn left hard and high speeds and it seems it is the passenger side turbo making contact with the body, the stillen dampener wont work I was thinking of the weapon R plus I was toying with the idea of seeing if the engine could be moved a hair over.

I have bit of an issue with the lower intercooler pipe and the swaybar but I have the Nismo so maybe it being thicker doesn't help.

Roger told me you had that problem but my problem is that i have it around 2500k to 3000k rpm going staright the strongest is at decel and the weeker one is at accel it soundlike its in the front. I would really like to figure this one out. Maybe we can put it in the dyno and look at it.

We had an issue just a few days ago with a customers car and some Megan Test pipes with Resonators that he had ordered from an online retailer. The resonator packs had fallen into a couple of pieces.
