You make a comment towards me, I respond, that's the way it works.

tholyoak do you do just a pair of these cats? what do you do with the rear 02s? How does more restriction gain power on top end of power band? If you have good luck with this set up I am interested but still don't see how it would make more power than w/o.

Blue2000s wanna race? or park your car next to mine at a car show? thats what I thought. No more comments from me directed at you. If you have more than .02 towards this post I'll oblige.

Just got off the phone from ?protomotors? ecu reflash, durametric cable, softtronic software can pull diffrent tunes depending on if running nitrous or not. The price for the original reflash for evo intake, headers, no cats, and exhaust. With mild performance gains and no cel issues. $995.

Can anyone respond to this?

Additional re tunes run $695 which comes with the cables to download myself after program has been tweaked.

Is this some kind of misguided attempt at hostility, I'm confused.

"Edevlin did you have a wandering idle?"

I never had a problem with a wandering idle, the car was running fine. We really dont know what the problem was in my setup. We actually tried several different versions of the ECU tune to try to dial it in for the 2000 2.7L Boxster with modified intake and exhaust systems.

I could have gotten bad cats or bad sensors. It could have been that I was running too rich on one of the earlier programs and buggered up the sensors and cats, could have been a problem with extending the wire or the locations of the bungs, who knows.

The ECU tune I ended up with is really sweet. As you can see from the graph I posted earlier, the torque curve is very, very flat, quite noticable behind the wheel. The tune was optimized not for max hp, but for responsiveness.

Ed has shown us that you can get a modest, reliable power increase with headers, intake and a careful ECU remap tune designed for his car. It can also go the other way. Here is a guy with Che headers and jury rigged o2 sensors on a 2001 S:

He had other issues as well but if the o2 sensors were in and working, and he paid attention to the CEL and error codes he would probably still be driving his car. I have not heard an update but I suspect his 3.2L motor is now a fine $8k German boat anchor. Be careful.

I read your link... I have a good MAF & 02s (new & they have been tested) I am a mechanic and can change my oil correctly, I'm throwing none of his codes and I am far from having a clog in my exhaust? If I do blow my motor I'll probably do a 3.4 turbo motor. (Already thought ahead) I do appriciate your concern but don't understand how that link pertains to myself. I will probably run a modified softronic program with other programs ready to load per circumstance.

Any info on softronic I would appreciate it. After research it seems to be the way to go.
