I'm just going to cut the housing open and use a JSM style down-pipe, way better option.

Has anyone successfully pulled that plug of of the turbine housing that covers the waste-gate flapper? I'm hoping I can just zip the welds off and knock it out like a freeze plug, I have asperations of doing a port job on the factory waste-gate. Just wondering if anyone has tired removing this...

The plug was still in the throttle body stop, so I never even bothered to try it, I just assumed the factory value would be correct. Lesson learned. Time to replace a leaky heater core and whatever else this stupid thing decides to throw at me, I can't imagine it has much left in it.

Well this is a bit embarrassing. After talking to a very smart person, the BARO value actually contains a "bug" from factory, and the value is not applied to any live sensor feeds. What was happening is Freescan was displaying the values wrong, while displaying some other ones correctly and sent...

Quick update here. So I managed to get some answers on where the BARO value is stored. It is stored on a RAM/FLASH chip on the PCB of the ECM. I'm going to replace the ECM with a Blue Streak Reman one from Rock Auto and see what happens. They say "Plug and play", see how that goes.....

I have no idea how to work the quotes thing here so.... How does it sound out of the tail pipe? - Dry, lean, rough, chuggy, kinda popping almost but nothing like a lean bike on decel or anything like that. As for T'n off of the MAP line for a gauge, that does make sense, the extra volume of...

I tapped into the wire leading to the ECU that the map sensor output comes into the ECM on. I used my Fluke meter, set to MIN/MAX to catch any voltage spikes and rolled the key on. Showed 2.1v which equals around 90 Kpa, current weather is 97 Kpa so that's plenty close enough for this quality of...

Thanks man! I wish I had an All Data account, don't fix enough stuff to justify the cost. Thanks so much for confirming my suspicions for how the ECM calculates BARO. I'll confirm the MAP pin sees the voltage its supposed to at key on and go from there. In regards to the distributors, I have...

I guess I could add a little more here, I have put approximately 600 miles on it since I got it. When I got it the previous owner said it would occasionally puke a code for the O2 sensor, I did not get if it was high or low or what. I did, on 2 occasions have the CEL come on while cruising on...

Hello all, creeped for a few months here but finally hit a wall with the truck and wondering what the community thinks about it. A little background - I won the truck (69,000 miles) in a draw basically (I know, crazy), and have been going over the truck for a few months now fixing just about...

Hey! I'm wondering how much you want for one of the air scoops and a torque strap? I live in Canada too, hopefully that's okay for you. Those are some super cool products!
