Yea still no car today. Not sure what happened today. Didn't hear from him. O well always tomorrow. I will def check the plugs I have a new type r valve cover to put on so I'll do it then.

Will post up as soon as I get it! Will get the car as late as Saturday morning.

Alright guys so we are having some issues with the car, and we think it may have to do with the calibration, but I'm not really sure (maybe a corrupt cal? IDK if that's possible..) I've tried several times to re download the calibration onto the flashpro and then on the car and it is making the sensors go really wacky like the iat sensor reads -40* and the coolant tempt is 90* off yet if we unplug the IAT sensor it reads accurately. Also the map sensor is reading like 74 in/hg(or w/e the unit is). I've double checked each time and changed the cal to use the stock map sensor since that's what I'm using. And we replaced the iat sensor with a brand new one because we thought initially that it was just a bad iat sensor. 2 days ago when the new iat sensor was put in it was reading correctly, my mechanic told me at that time he didn't check all the other sensors because he was not su****ious of anything as the car ran and drove perfectly fine. Now today is when all of these issues are happening. I did notice tonight when I got home from work that the cal I was using had the 'enable VSA' check box uncheck which should be check since I have an 07, so MAYBE that's causing all these problems, but I really don't think it would change things that badly... If anyone has any input I'd be greatly appreciated we are not really sure what's causing all the problems.

^Solution: unplug battery for ~1hr, reupload map, everything works!

I sent Steve from E-Tunez an email this morning so he can get back to you on the issue. Glad you got it fixed though! For future reference, disconnect your battery and hold the brake pedal for a bit. Saves you an hour wait time So now we can expect massive amounts of videos?

I've had to reupload tunes before myself. It was a strange problem so we ended up reseting and reuploading and it cured issues

Yea i think it def was an issue with the cal not fully uploading. And I don't have the car yet, he was waiting to cut the vac lines for the boost control solenoid and boost gauge till once this problem was fixed since he was doing diagnostic work with the sensors he had things apart. Now that he can put everything back on like the cowl, he will know where he wants to mount the solenoid and thus the lengths of the vac lines, he really likes to have stuff hidden. But other than that everything is done, the gauges are wired up and work fine. He went into the shop at 4am just to try to fix my car this morning, and he is probably going to finish it tomorrow (even though he has family in visiting for the weekend).

That's awesome! I love when shops pull through. Very uncommon though, and usually happens when they've noticed they're slacking. Can't wait to see how your car performs when done!

[aLmk]

Yeah it is nice... I wouldn't say they've been slacking, I've received texts from him like 3 days in a row around 5-6am... They are just super busy with regular repair work, and also have contracts with companies which makes him have to get their work done fast.
