OK, so check this out you guys....

I drove home, still seemed a little off.

Then I drove to the store, and had a few places to play around. She seems to be getting back to her old self. I.E. she's got ***** again!
So, I guess the ECU reset just took a little while to adjust.

I have driven a total of about 40 miles since the reset, and as far as I can tell, after the last trip, she is feeling much better.

I guess I did not notice the difference the last time. Actually, then I had just bought the car and removed the battery cables to clean the terminals. I didn't notice the performance difference then.

So, the ECU seemed to need a few miles to adjust to my heavy foot. Now when I hit it hard, the seat gives me a hug, just the way she used to. I hope this doesnt sound weird. Really I am married with 4 kids, so I guess you need to fantasize somehow.

Anyway, arif and 1.8, I still want to hook up with you guys and have you convince me as to why I NEED a vagcom. maybe we can take a look anyway? Thanks everyone!

 

40 seems to be the magic number. thats what it takes for my to "learn"

 

OK, I didn't know that!

I am an impatient MO FO!

I just want my power back!!!

Now I have it!

Jeff, I saw your dyno sheet, I like what I am seeing there. Is the car reliable for a Daily driver? Is that how you use it?

Thanks! P.S. are you a skier? I would love to live in Denver.

 

lol it must be reliable i think it is his DD

 

ya its my dd and its very reliable. i drive it all the time. thanks man. yes i ski when ever i can its my second hobby but since im in college in texas i can only ski for a short time over chirstmas break

 

lol that ski options in texas are very limited

 

well we did get some ice one day. school was closed. if i had my beater rock skiis i would of let some one drag me behind a car but i didnt

 

lol we went to good will and they had some snow boards and when we had our 2 ft of snow here we pulled eachother behind our trucks

 

nice, the other day we pulled some kid around on roller blades at about 2 am and there was a tcu cop behind us. he told us to go to bed

 

maybe your intercooler pipe wasnt the only thing that popped off...maybe something else did at the same time....and what kinda clamps are you using?? maybe there is a little slit in one of the clamps..
