know what when it is unlocked try and see if you can re-enable the a/c that would be a plus all by itself. that way once the car is out of warrenty you never have to go back.

ummm thats not tuning my friend.. that's user selective.. a bit different...
I mean like change Injector sizes i.e. 60 lbers... change timing maps... VE tuning that sorta thing...
it does disable the A/C,,, but since I don't have a/c anymore... doesn't really matter.
but one thing I did notice.. I don't have my second o2 sensor in right now... no CEL... so going catless...
but it looks like the turbo project with RIPP is going to happen.. so Ill keep ya guys posted

I will... gonna make a thread on the hp forums,,..
Pcm is pretty cool, cept for the fact I"m running 60's and 2.55 pulley on the thing... pulls nice and adjustable rev limit is pretty damn cool... only prob is my AFR is less than 10.0:1 the second I get past 50% throttle... tomorrow I might throw in some race gas and test out HOM. and see how that feels... but finally my car idles correctly (somehow) and it was my other PCM was fried from too many reflashes I guess... >100 times

bump for an old thread.. i've ordered the stage 3 pcm.. do code scanners read this pcm?? or do they come up with nothing? i want to put like an aero foce type gauge setup.. but if this pcm is locked.. would that even work? i'm also planning on running a 50 shot with this pcm.. anyone done that yet?

So there is nothing to do but just hook it up and that's it? I know u installed yours but is there any truth to this besides your car still running so far. Why did they make such a big deal about the stage 2 pcm doing the CASE relaern or the intense kits if these pcm's don't know the crank position

The stage 3 pcm is plug and play. It honestly takes about 10 minutes to change the pcm's out. Thats with unhooking the battery and hooking it back up again.

and I"ve swapped PCM about 3 times in one weekend and never had to do the case relearn.

Do have to give a vin number when buying the stage 3? The reason I ask is that it is said to void your warranty. If you don't have to provide a vin then I don't know why they say it will void you warranty because you could just take the computer out and put the stock computer back in for warranty visits.
