ARD 99-00 tunes are ready just finalizing the loader. Lucky hopes to have that resolved within a month.. I can tell you this from working with Lucky, he has a different way altogether of tuning. He brings things to the table that no one else has thought of or tried to figure out. You can count on him to figure out a tune for you if you go with him. Also I've seen the difference between TME tunes and ARD's tunes, I feel confident saying you're going to be a lot happier with the ARD tune plus Lucky's customer service is incredible.

I need to understand this more clearly. The tech at the shop said that only 2 'not ready' codes were allowed for -'99 models in our county.
The question is, does this mean that they (the State) are checking that the ECU has observed & recorded that all connected emission devices (Rear O2, EVAP, SAS, etc.) have reported back with no faults for a certain number of cycles? Is that what is meant by readiness?
If that's indeed the case, then having an ECU which cannot set a code won't actually help at all.
If I can't work around it that way, I will have to leave the TT ECU & COP wiring intact, and swap those and the injectors every year for inspection. Not only that, I will have to drive it that way to make sure the system is 'ready'. Sounds like a real fucking nightmare.
I hope I'm missing something, it's just not clear to me exactly what data the inspection system is examining when it communicates with the ECU

Can't really count on that though. btw congrats on the Masters Thesis!

I wonder who invented that copper design haha :-)
That vac hose in the picture is actually a later diameter hose. It helps A LOT during idle.
In my opinion the stock vac hose for that is WAY to small and does not have enough vacuum to work during idle.

haha yeah I was thinking about that later. I'm just the one with the pic. Thanks for the Great idea!
To answer the OP's question... The vac line that runs to the mani that I ran looks bigger because I used large diameter thick walled silicone for that. just easier to use and I had it lying around.
