I recently discovered a boost leak on my car, and when I fixed it I was overboosting like crazy! The EVC6 is pretty intuitive, but… I was still having a hard time limiting boost to my desired levels. This official manual was actually pretty hard to track down. If you are in a situation similar to mine check the link […]

It’s open and I’ve counted teeth.  Lets do a bit of calculating before continuing on.  Count six pairs of gears.  From left to right they are: input to layshaft gear set, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, reverse, and fifth.  Note that there is no fourth gear.  The fourth gear selector, far left, simply locks the input shaft to the output shaft for […]

AFM tuning. The car is all but road worthy after a solid afternoon in the barn. An alignment and a few other details remain, but the turbocharger is fitted in it’s entirety. You guys all tell me I’m going to blow up if I run the stock computer. You say that tinkering with the AFM and modifying the stock management […]
