Its weird Terry is getting limps or codes. We never got a single limp or CEL running almost 600 WTQ between 5000-redline. I mentioned we still had a slight pressure drop in my HPFP annoucement, but where we were completely maxing trims and getting a misfire before the fuel system change. We now have to pull fuel and were able to make 673 WHP no meth when we couldnt make over 573 with no upgrades. I do think LPFP might have something do with it. I sent terry some logs. Before upgrade, we lost pressure to under 1000 PSI for almost a full 2000 RPM range, changing nothing except doing the upgrade. We saw pressure dope to around 1100 PSI for only about 500 rpm, that was it. I am sure Terry can get this figured out and T, the work on the LPFP is awesome. I wired a relay into the parallel system today to get some load off the DME pump circut. Should help keep the wiring temps down. "

" [QUOTE=bigstupid;457356]Update:

I finally got my car back last night with the new VTT stage 1 turbos installed. Before I relate the sage, let me just say that am pleased with the new turbos' performance.

Installation was quite an ordeal and took over a month.

I went to get it last Wednesday when the dealer said it was installed and tested. I drove it across the street to have dinner with my family. As soon as we were done, we drove less than a mile to the on-ramp to I65.

As I accelerated, and the car threw the "Engine malfunction. Reduced Power" error with noticeably reduced power and started shaking. My wife called the service manager and we limped it back to the dealer. "
