i just got done with my powerlab install on a 2003! now i load the utec maps from the webside, everything looks good and all, but, the idle is bad and im running rich and im always on 15 vacumm on my gauge. any suggestions on what happening? thanks for the help in advance

 

which map did u download?
tow it to a tuner if u can maybe?

 

550cc map. intensepower told me that the 550cc map is fine for the powerlab

 

That map will allow you to drive the car to your turner to get it tuned. DO NOT run any boost with that map loaded, just take it easy and go get it tuned.

You're running VERY rich, that's why it seems like its running crappy.

 

+1, dont risk ur car

 

This kit is not like the turbonetics kit where everyone just throws it on and uses the out of box tune. You MUST get it tuned. However the TN 550cc map will work for you to get it to the tuner.

 

thanks guys! call my tuner, he is gonna try to tune tomorrow! thanks again!

 

is sonics doin the tune????if its is then give me a call.

 

You have the utec on map 0 probably. Good luck!!

 

Please keep us posted on how the tune situation turned out. Will you be able to drive up there to the shop with the UTEC tune you downloaded?

 

with boosted cars where should the vacuum be at idle on the boost gauge?

 

my car is at 20 vacuum right now and the map from TXS for the 550cc is all 0 on the boost map. i will keep u guys posted on how the tune turns out. i call intense and they say that the 550cc map is from arizona, so me being in hawaii, the altitude might be the reason why the tuning is all wrong. arizona is 15k above sea lvl, and hawaii is at sea lvl, i have to look into it but it sounds about right. alot of my friends told me that altitude can do alot of difference.

 

you should be in vaccum on a turbo car at idle. check to be sure that it is set on map 1 and not map zero. that is a problem i had with my car. altitude shouldnt make a too much of difference on the vac. i more or less think its because the utec is set to map 0 which is stock config. so its alot richer than it should be. i think in the pl instructions it says you can boost it for a systems check after all is done? also make sure to check for leaks and everything.
