I have been running my GT3071R without my methanol kit since a few weeks after installing the turbo last October. I pulled the fuse and took out the tank after the discussion about how it causes more harm than good. This summer has been pretty hot averaging temps in the 80s and high 90s and I have not been gentle on the boost either. I normally spike from 12 to 14ish psi in the midrange and it tapers off to 9-10psi when the aux port opens peaking (seeing g/s peaks of 350 to 360s).
MM tune, zero problems.

I've been away from here for far too long and i'm ready to get back into it. The car still has not been driven since the blown motor and i am now living in Nebraska.
Anyone have any recommendation of how i can get my car back up and running?
I've already PMed Turblown. CRH interested in helping me out?

not sure it was a bad rebuild, but it is a possiblity. The car is able to start and idle perfectly but when i shift out of park it will stall and flood the engine. last time i was with Kane he said it smelled rich when we let it idle. It will also stall and flood if i raise the RPM and let it come back down by itself it will drop too low.
I haven't really checked the injector wiring. What would i be looking for?

Dude, don't mess with that Adaptronic, the Cobb works fine for much less money. If you are going to think about using the Adaptronic at least wait until they can show one being used successfully on a turbo RX-8. The jury is still out on Turblown as far as I am concerned, my experience with them for my turbo upgrade was lack luster. The customer service was good but the end result was unsatisfactory and I had to pay another shop to make things right.
I will be installing one of their low mount kits soon though and it looks promising but we shall see how it pans out. As for the top mount kits, I have yet to see any info on an RX-8 that has ran it successfully and reliably for any decent amount of time.
