well the fixed my ecu by reprogramming it. once they reprogrammed it, they were able to read the CEL codes and we fixed the problem. apparently it had some software problem. Haha, yeah they were trying to figure out why my sensors werent detecting a catalytic converter. Before they could figure out that I had test pipes instead of cats I just told them I would take it home and figure it out on my own. Im just glad this is done with.

Did you get to see how or what they used to do that ?
Also was it covered under warranty ?

Yeah, Turbo Kit should be arriving either Friday or Monday, Jake and I am going to get on it as best as we can next week. Updates will be coming soon... I really need to charge my camera so I can post some pics...

No, there were a few cars in line ahead of me when I dropped it off, so I didn't stick around to watch the process.
It should have been covered under warranty since it was just a reprogramming and a full diagnostic, but my warranty was expired so i don't know for sure. Two days ago, another dealership quoted me the same price and told me it was covered under warranty, so I assume it is.

Haha, yeah, they were a bit thick headed. It sounds nowhere near stock. I was surprised by just how little they knew about my car.

What kit are ya'll installing? I was looking at going FI, but I think I might take the LS swap route....
01-13-2011, 09:02 AM
doing powerlab install - I feel ya on the LS - I think everyone wants to go that route.. guess its all on the persons opinion on NA vs Boosted. I dont need much HP to do what I want to do..so I dont see boost in my future..but this install will be a killer experience for me..

Having had turbo cars in the passed I know how addictive boost can be.... I'm interested to see how this kit works out. I might need a ride in it before I decide...

Small turbos have a low spool time, and minimize the harshness when the boost kicks in.Any route you go though is personal pref, and I don't think there is a wrong route. It is cool to see the LS in the 350 though, not going to lie.
