But feel like a kid that got a bicycle on a snowy x-mas morning. It snowed here last night so I can't "try it out" yet.

I will get some driving impressions so and take it back to the dyno to compare to my stock run and report back.

What year is your pepper?

Cole

Sorry. Its an 04.

red911c2

Sorry? The '04 engine/tuning should be exactly the same as the '05, shouldn't it?

Cole

Software should be the same. I just meant "sorry for not including that info"

So, how's the tune feel? What does your a$s dyno say?

Cole

Sorry guys. I have been sick and not able to post.

I have driven it about 500 miles so far. Pulls very strong in the lower gears. Harder to feel a difference in the upper gears. Runs very smooth even up around 12,000 foot elevation. Actually think it may run a little better than it did before. Will be interested to see what the dyno says.

I'm sure that it will all make even more difference once cat bypass pipes, bpvs, intake etc is added.

Did you put this in yourself? I looked up Upsolute but there aren't any locations in the DC/MD/VA Area.

Cole

I pulled the ECU (5 min job) overnighted it to them on Monday and had it back at noon on Wednesday. Reinstalled (5 min).

You just have to make sure to keep the keys away from the car and don't open the doors while the ecu is out. I you do it will search for the key and the ecu to try to match them.

Cole

Okay. Since the deep freeze seems to be over I scheduled a second dyno run this Friday. Should be about the same outside temps as the day I did my first stock dyno run.



Then we can see what this thing is really doing.

Cole...

Any updates?

No. I've been a bit busy.

I think I might update my BPVs and put new coils in the CTT and put the summer wheels back on it and see if that cures what they were seeing as the CTT "fighting them" on the dyno.

Cole

Sorry for the delay guys. Sometimes I kinda forget about my CTT. It was time to dust it off and figure out the issues since the dealer had been no help.



I ordered some APR R1 Diverter valves for the car. They did not list them on their site and had to do some "research" to make sure they would work properly with this set up.



Finally got them Friday and rushed to put them in Saturday. I wanted these over the "piston style" diverter valves simply to reduce maintenance in the future. These are an upgraded diaphram style similar to the factory units. On the CTT they are located in a very inconvient place to change so you don't want to go in every 10K miles to relube them like some piston style vlaves require.



CTT now accelerates MUCH smoother and MUCH harder than it did before. I think this is the issue that was holding me back from getting a good solid dyno run on the Upsolute chip. Think the chip just exposed the weakness of my old stock BPVs. Just to be on the safe side I also have new coils on the way. They should be here tomorrow. I will get them on and hit the dyno ASAP.



I can say already that with good working BPVs the CTT with the Upsolute chip is very fun to drive now.





Here are some pics of the APR R1 BPVs





APR R1 BPV sitting next to the factory valve. Obvioulsy with 2 turbos you need to buy two of these. Ask for the "blue" springs to be installed.
