Did you blow your motor because of the reflash? I thought it was safe on the stock boost with stock exhaust.

Default Service Engine Soon Light

Just had the Turbonetics ST installed. Looks perfect and boost is very nice. However the Service Engine Soon light keeps coming on. Read it and code mentions missfire and/or emissions? Anyone had this problem? Came on one time when I went to boost. Came back on when it was idlying for about 2 minutes. Once in awhile it will flash?

Thanks.

worry about big things... this lil' SES thing is a known behaviour that you should not worry about it.

Default AAM Oil Pan Spacer?

I had my Turbonetics installed at Altered Atmosphere, purchasing their oil pan spacer, liking the idea of having that extra quart of oil and a nice clean (oil lines) installation. Well I am having the 4th new Turbonetics turbo unit installed as I'm typing this quote.
AAM tapped into the oil pan spacer, and JetPilot and others including Turbonetics are right when they say not to tap into the spacer, the lines come in to high and gravity can't do it's thing and help the oil return. You end up blowing the seals in the turbo and it starts burning oil and smoking.
Like I said 4 turbo units later, we're capping the oil pan taps and tapping into the oil pan as low as possible. Hopefully this will fix it once and for all.
Good luck on your setup.

Uhh.. you want to tap as HIGH as possible. At this point I think seal issues are more related to the line itself than the tap location. Still, I'll be leaving my upper pan tapped even on my built motor.
