Phil has an agreement with Sector111 to only distribute to them. I also looked into this, but decided I felt scuzzy buying a product of Sector111 and not paying them money they really deserve.

I installed this flash and ran it over the weekend. The cold start running really is vastly improved, it's better than my stock NA motor.

The ECU is still learning I suspect, but it seems to run better in general, mainly better throttle response. I haven't nailed it yet since it is still learning, I figured I'd give it a few more days.

thanks for the feedback.

Also the OBD II IAT will read correctly, which in turn means that the OBD II readiness codes will set. I also took out the fan blip as it was a nice indication of a car running my tune but i think it caused people some concern, so i put different telltales in there instead, not that there aren't a shed load anyway.

On the first start, you'll get one error code of the P0601/0606 variety, its normal, meant to do that and will go away on its own, it won't cause any issues, but you willl need to do the 15 minute idle.

You might still get the really cold rough start, but without adding SAI there is little to do about it except wait 30 seconds before touching the throttle.

Charlie, the pulley is hard anodized aluminium. He's interested in working with you - to have a Gotham tune with the pulley. You should contact him.

Is anyone working on a steel pulley? To satisfy CharlieX's need for a steel pulley?
