This is just a little bit of a rant but I feel it's well deserved.
I've always had some issues with the very fine tuning points of the MS on my car. Mostly related to idle. At idle, the car sometimes misfired or pop causing an unpleasant feeling sitting at a light. For a long time, my solution was to run rich at idle (13 or so AFR) and I knew I could do better.
After countless hours, and I mean literally hundreds of hours, of playing with the settings and trying and datalogging different things including getting matched RC injectors, buffering the MAP line, etc, etc, etc ... well tonight I have finally fine tuned the car to how I want it to run. Closed loop idle works like a charm and my AFRs are stoich and more solid than they were on the stock ECU. You could sit in the car, turn the key, and have absolutely no clue it was not stock. I am very picky about how smoothly a car runs at idle and it just wasn't meeting my standards before.
I would go as far as saying these inconsistent idle issues had driven me so nuts that I disliked driving the car and almost said f-it on more than one occasion.
Now I just can't wait for spring to come to drive it. Much more excited about this than the MS3 and that's saying A LOT.
