I just finished doing my retrofit, got a pretty good deal through TRS on "black friday". The projectors are sooooo crisp and clear compared to the 3rd gen headlights i had before.

Oh ya I bet! I've been throwing around the idea of buying a cheap set of gen 3s and doing a projector swap in the high and low beams. I'm a big fan of the look of gen headlights.

Motion Performance is definitely the best place in the city to dyno. My buddy works there. Usually if I can round up a few guys to dyno all at once he cuts us a pretty good deal. I know i'll need to be heading there after I bolt up my TVS.

Hey JP,
Saw this in another thread and thought it sounded very familiar, could this be a possible issue for my problem?


"I have had i similar problem with my stage 2 i got my first problem was that the pcm didn't have a crank learn on it so i had to take it to a dealership and they did the crank learn. Then the mpg went way down ideal was horrible it would die at some stops took it in to have a complete scan of the car after making sure everything was installed right and that all the vacuum lines were tight and that the throttle was cleaned. i took it in and the readings come back as the fuel trims were way off, +19% at ideal and cruising. "

That may be, I know trifecta has a option for crank relearn.
