Charlie,
It appears that it is just the tune that is the problem at this point in time. The stand alone option is appealing mainly because it had the potential to correct the problem now and I don't want problems on a 2000mile drive.

Also I was told it had an advantage because I could have infinite boost settings and the stand alone would automatically adjust. It would be nice to have both a low boost setting for autocross and everyday driving and be able to hit a high boost for all out power only when wanted. I do not know for sure but that was one thing that I was told that could not be done with just an ECU tune. Is this true? Can you do a high and low boost setting using my boost controller or would it need to be tuned to one boost level and left there? I realize this is not an issue on a supercharged car as they have a pulley and the boost is "set".

Either way, I would rather just have one high boost level and have it running right than infinite adjust ability for boost and not running correctly. Any comment on what Matt is proposing? I emailed him your comment about the drive by wire as I heard that there could be issues from other places as well. I don't want him to do anything if it is going to mess things up. I know he was anxious to try because he really wants to fix it and get it running right. I just don't want to deal with and can't afford additional problems.

He also mentioned worst case scenario, converting it to the cable throttle system which I am sure would work with the AEM but might be a huge job?

The other option is to just put it back the way it was with the Greedy emanage piggy back (the way the Hass kits originally come), drive it out there, and have you tune it. However, the Greedy emanage would have to be removed. Thoughts? In your experience do you think this solution with the AEM might work or will I have issues?

As I said before, I just want to get it fixed.
