I am going to try installing the under tray and see if that helps with coolant temps.

Still bogging in 4,5, 6. 1, 2, 3 were holding around 11.2 in boost, I gave a few turns on the MBC I am at 3 psi right now, I am going to try cranking it up to 7 psi and see how she holds.

I think it will help but not sure it will ultimately solve your issues. Edit "with the undertray"

I just have way too much fuel going in, that will need a good amount of fine tuning.

I can't really go into boost yet my tune is beyond fubar... I'm pretty much over it at this point so far its been a huge waste of money, I'll play with it later.

You want my tune bro? Obviously it wouldn't be ideal, but I think we should just start over. But you need to make sure everything is mechanically sound and that there are no leaks.

Not sure if this was directed at me or not but running about 8.5-9psi now.... still need to get my damn EBC hooked up... just havent found the time to clean out the garage and get that baby installed (sooner or later it will happen as I need to park the car before the snow hits)..... then tune it, that will be a whole nother story, I'll have to read kane's thread over again and Brettus has offered to help me with the tuning via google talk, but that was like 6-8 months ago haha....... on a side not I also have some big *****'s (puddle lights) sitting in my room ready for install

I'm headed to Philly for a few weeks, when I get back I'm sure I'll be more inclined to work on it.

I think I've got all the vac leaks squared away but just to be safe I am going to replace the ssv and vdi solenoids redo all the vacuum lines in Silicone. Replace the greddy couplers I had to use etc etc.

Word. I am thinking of just bucking out for a new SSV all together. I replaced my acuator with a used one last year and it's making noise again so I worry about it leaking. I threw my back out, I won't be wrenching anytime soon. All I will do is replace my glove box,

Dialing UP the boost because it is bogging is counter productive . There is a very good test procedure for ironing out issues with leaks/tune/mechanical .PM me if you want some help.

Glad you guys waited for the guy from Philly to pop that open for you.

So far I've pulled on a modded MS3 and STI.

I should really finish my tune before I blow my engine :/.
