Chris at XXtuning will be taking care of the tune this time around. XX is nice and local to my college, so this couldn't be easier.

The car feels very good with the FMIC, I noticed some the lag between shifts, but I feel it's very easy to compensate with shifting slightly differently.

Hopefully I'll get some pics up soon. Had big help from Chris and Ian... we worked on the install for hours! Used weatherstripping to make the edges look flush and clean, NO gaps! A+ work.
Glad to read this! I think it is a great upgrade for your setup

Thanks for the compliments guys, we have been overwhelmed with tuning at the shop these past few weeks, this week alone we have 21 tunes... My personal life has been non-existent lately.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing the car on Friday.. Even though it is the 13th.. yikes..

Another little tidbit I just ordered...


APS BPV/BOV recirculating. I picked it up used for a good price. I figured I could use it for safety concerning the stock BPV at the tune. Not a bad thing to have with you just in case

Having it sent 2 day shipping, so it should reach here just before the tune on friday

So I'm desparately looking forward to seeing your results. I'm starting my parts collection, and I'm still torn on the SR375 + Meth or the DR525. Majin got great results on his SR375 + Meth tune, I'll be anxiously awaiting your results.
