I did not make it this year just due to timing. I bought a house not long ago and have been really busy with that, work is booming, and Aaron is working with IPD trying to get my car perfected so it can come home. It didn't make sense to come without the car, I am choosing to go to Midsommar instead with my car.

My car has never not been running, I will say that for the MTE tune- it's always been safe enough to run. Aaron has driven it weekly for me the entire time he's had it. We are still sorting out the tune with IPD and are starting to make progress to some degree. We should know more in the next few weeks. It runs but the power curvs are not smooth. Could use a few more PSI, more fuel up top, and a tad more timing. If your car is near stock the tune they have now would most likely work out very well for you. All of Aarons work is causing the need for the updated tune.

With that being said..my torque is over 50 ftlbs higher than his dyno sheet shows. My HP is between his two HP #s, but fuel was falling off so that needs work. Mine was done AWD, I am assuming his was FWD for the dyno? Also just for the info mine was done on a Mustang dyno which typically reads lower than dynojet. Great numbers on his car none the less!

Once the tune is all sorted I'll post an update with dyno charts. I don't want to clutter things up with the current chart since it does not give an accurate idea of what Aaron's manifold will do or the MTE tune.

you got it- in fwd mode for the dyno at Carlisle. Glad to know it is working out Nick! Promise for the future of my R....when the tranny poops out.

Best mod by far...just buy the parts a few at a time and the price isn't too bad. Great opportunity to replace a lot of forgotten about pieces like motor mounts, sub-frame bushings, etc.

If your auto is not bad you could do it now and sell to offset the cost.

UGGGH........ I wish I could have went, I ended up putting a clutch in my buddys mustang this weekend. And when your unemployed anything that equals cash trumps all.

Looks like I missed another good time :(

Agree 100%. Exactly what I did.

Man I wish I had made this.

MattBs white 850 is slick...one of the nicest 855s around I think.

Hussien do you have your dyno charts to share? Would like to compare to mine. Was that AWHP?

Neu- Your laser looks slick...hopefully it won't be the only one there next year.

Thanks Nick! Greg's pictures were awesome, the man knows how to take great pics.

massive douche bag.

"What are you man, Eurotuner ? " :lol:

A-hole, all he did was try to piss people off.

What trans set up are you running? Tune?

M56. Don't hate :lol: and still in tuneless awesome gas mileage mode ATM.

I have a few options I'm looking into. I just feel like the IPD/MTE tune has not proven itself so far, and I have not heard any positive progress in over a year.

well at least you can run your fogs without headlight now. It's all about small steps.
