Mine's on a cable throttle, I'm sure you really want to ship it me over, I'll give it back, honest.....
Have to agree on the idling issues, even with all the ports open when we were building actuator circuits for the secondary ports, our would idle smoothly and easily at 800rpm.

Loud? It's the quietest Bridgeport I've ever heard in person! Reni's will always be quieter than their previous counterparts because of the exhaust ports. My car is no louder than a Stock N/A RX-8 with a catback/midpipe...the turbo kills the sound alot.

) and the DSC/TCS lights. I don't know about tape but I am considering just pulling the bulb for the CEL out
. I really don't care what it has to say to me since I am monitoring everything with peak/hold/alarm gauges that will make noise if anything is not normal....What do you think, pull the CEL or live with it flashing in my face???

But honestly, while you're back there, the best option is electrical tape over the back of the gauge face, then you can't see it at all

Got the car to drive...now in break in mode...only like 80 miles so far...
Idle is at like 17-1800 because I still have to mess with it... my "Crank" map is out of whack so if I shut if off while engine fully warmed up it will not want to start again until it reaches ambient temps :O....
Other than that...the "Brap" is not a noticeable as a full bridge...but definitely audible...I like it...the car feel strong under 2psi which is where I have kept it....we will see how it goes....as soon as I get the idle to settle at like 12-1500rpm I will get a video from the outside of the car so you guys can hear it.

On that note....
I drove it to work today....I found the issue with my idle and starting problems I was experiencing were due to fouled spark plugs....I replaced them yesterday and had to richen up the entire map. It is now idling with the classic "brap brap brap" at 1400-1500 which I actually really like...it shakes the whole car...and its way easier to start once warm. Now I just need to tune the crank map to suit the engine.
I also eclipsed 100mi on the engine and got slightly into boost up to about 8-9 but not letting it go over 5500-6000rpm and it feels good...the response of the turbo and the transient time/threshold of boost is way more violent....I like it.
More updates coming soon...I have a few little bugs to take care off like a loose exhaust mount...and a few other things...plus more break-in.

I had to modify the RPMcrs and RPMwot maps around the 1000-1500 area to take like 20% out so it would idle right at high 11's AFR...as its supposed to...but I then took 10% off at 500rpm for no reason...just to smooth out the transition...this might have been a mistake...this would affect starting, no? since its the lowest rpm value? I should probably put that at 0 first...and then go and modify the crank values...which right now are at like 30% around the 38-46C and they fade to something like 0-10% as it gets to the 99-124C points...
Does this make sense to you B.?
Anyone else have any ideas on this matter?
Thanks.
Chris
