Sounds dope. I forget if I asked before, but who's doing the walnut blasting and MPI install? I still want to catch a ride with you sometime, I think you're pretty much exactly where my end goals are lol. Sounds rad

Leading Edge Autosport in West Chester. I've used a few euro shops around here with mixed results but Leading Edge has been on point. And they're not any more expensive than the others.

I should have the car back today, hoping by Sunday we have the plugs swapped and the base file flashed. And maybe even our first log! Happy to hang anytime though it might be more fun of a drive once the tune is finished haha

Sounds good! Yeah, my wife and I are going to the ProSolo 5/3 and possibly checking out a seat for my Mazda, I'll PM you if we wind up coming back through your area at a reasonable hour and maybe we can all grab food or something. Not like it's super far away though, and I've been pushing for a trip to KoP for Maggiano's haha

I feel like I've heard of Leading Edge somewhere before, so maybe I did ask before. But either way good to know, I've got APTuning close-ish to me (Lebanon) but options are always a good thing.

APT is a great option to have. I reached out to them a few times, including back when I was at a loss with the turbo, but haven't used them for anything yet. Maybe one day if things get really serious.

Yea just let me know, my girlfriend keeps our social calendar busy but I'm sure I can make something work

Alright, we have the car back!

Walnut blasted the intake valves, swapped the intake manifold, rain the new fuel lines, installed the ethanol sensor, installed the Precision Raceworks fuel rail and 925cc injectors. Not tuned for MPI so it's inactive at the moment but we should be able to flash our new base tune tomorrow. I didn't get any photos from the shop on the intake valves pre-cleaning but the flaps on the old intake manifold don't look awful. It was only 55,5xx miles but I'm sure there were not perfect. Made sense to do either way

The oil leak was the same oil leak that got fixed last time. The shop re-did the oil pan gasket and oil level sensor seal for free since they did it 2 months ago. That's supposedly 80-90% of the oil leak I'm seeing with the remainder being the front main seal (which I have to assume got fucked up but the other shop when they were doing the fluidampr but who knows).

Anyway, great to have the car back. I switched the AP gauges to see if I was reading E content and I either have the wrong gauge selected, theres a firmware update I haven't done, or the sensor is not wired correctly. Hoping it's one of the first two. I'm going to take the other dongle and pull up SimosTools and see if that reads anything. Only have 93 in there now but there should be less than 0.00 ethanol content at the sensor.

Mileage: 55,900

Swapped out the RS7s for a new set for Ruthenium's. Gapped to 0.024". RS7's had almost 16k miles on them and I wanted to swap them out anyway before tuning again.

Unmarried the Cobb AP and flashed my initial tune from Russell Road and Race. Flashed fine, started fine, idled fine, didn't make boost. Our favorite EPC / DTC came back, P0236. Reached out to Kalam and he responded right away so we should have this sorted out quickly I hope.
