The last part of this process has been all about the tuning. Per Carlos's guidance, I was instructed to use an OBD2 cable which he sent me to hook up to my laptop. Then to download ECU flash, as well as teamviewer. Then last night, he sent me two more files which he used in the ECU flash program. It took nearly two hours of driving and reciting AFR numbers. I'd drive it and tell him via text where the issues were, then I would return to the garage where he would update the maps. At one point, the timing was called into question so I took a pick of the CAS and sent it to him. I was way off. I got that adjusted and the rest started happening. The car runs better now than it ever has. Better power than ever, and better torque at lower RPM's. My tach still doesn't work but that is only a matter of time. Carlos knows what to do and is willing to help with the problem. Awesome service.
I'm going to hang onto the cable for a few days to make sure everything is still going good before I send it back. They're expensive and I was glad to not have to buy one. Thanks again for that.
Over all, this has been a fun satisfying experience. I'll admit though, even though it's paint by numbers, the chance for an unknown is there. The upgrade is solid if the platform is solid.
Thanks Carlos. Props for a great upgrade.
