UTEC - Boost Issues
Anyone encounter any problems getting their car to properly tune after installing a UTEC? I have heard that several of these units have "gone bad", or "were bad" to start. Am I alone on this, or has anyone else had a similar experience where they had to swap out their UTEC before being able to tune their car.
Thanks.
Thanks.

It does happen, but it's uncommon. For the few that do experience this, TurboXS has hooked them up no questions asked. Even if you were not the original buyer. What seems to be the problem? There are alot of UTEC users around here.

Your either hitting knock retard, boost fuel cut,rev limit, or the ground is not hooked up properly. Check on the UTEC dash board that your actually running the map your attempting to modify. Then check in your parameters if you have a rev limit set or a boost cut set.

I had this same problem, after hitting 8 lbs. of boost at about 4500 rpm the car would just fall on its face. The utec was at that point going to a loading site at like 20 lbs. of boost so the car was just going pig rich. Turns out there indeed was a problem with the utec. I got an firmware update to the 2.8 v and now its working great. So I guess what im saying is try upgrading software if you dont already have the latest version.
