Re: AEM uego with MS

I have it set as AEM_NON_LINEAR "AEM UEGO Controller AEM-30-230x" in the configurator, I have the older version where the face plates are non-interchangeable, does that matter? [/quote] Is it actually the non-linear model? Try setting it to "aem_linear aem-30-42xx", and see if that fixes it. It shou...

If you use a long extension on the socket, it makes it pretty easy to get at it from under the car. Getting the stock pressure switch out is the easy part though. Depending on what kind of sender your installing, you may have to remove the rear tranny brace...

no there is a while new MS coming out at rs autosports, like a whole new version with boost control and stuff i think. The lastest and greatest is MSnS-E for MS-II.

Yes, MS does have two step functionality built in. It will only work well though if your running fuel and spark controll.

The PCM pinouts are exactly the same between '00 and '01 cars. The IAC is the only thing that might be different. I say "might" because they swapped the IAC in the middle of '00. The early ones got the older 4-wire steppers, and the later build dates got the new 2-wire PWM solenoids. Even if your IA...

Actually, the EVAP system doesn't help emissions (from the tailpipe, that is), rather, it recovers the fuel vapors released during refueling then slowly bleeds the vapor/condensation from the charcoal canister into the TB. So, theoretically it makes tailpipe emissions worse (the actual measurable af...

Sounds very feasible. However, there is one problem. You're still limited by all the parameters of your stock PCM.
