1. Durametric or other cable did not find any problem
2. Car is running on idle too much dry
3. If you give throttle the car is stalling

I would be very happy if someone had same problems and would help me on it. If someone needs logs I can post them.

Kras,

I did have a similar open loop problem for a while. Turned out the filter that came with the kit had become EXTREMELY dirty (almost black). Given it sucks air directly from engine compartment with no shielding (hot air) and the filter was clogged (limiting air flow) the car was idling very rough and would actually stall when going to idle/open loop. I replaced the filter with a larger cone filter and actually did some customization on my deck lid to draw in more cold air. Solved my issue.

from my understanding, TPC is a tuner co... and Vivid is a reseller. (correct me if i am wrong)

BTW Harajuka, love the conversion.. especially the front spoiler ! is that RUF?

let me know if u ever want to sell it.
You can see our work that we did here - www.vividracing.com/996ct

Our 15,000sqft shop has 7 lifts, full fab department including carbon fiber development, Mustang AWD. We sell alot of parts, but we make them too

Tuning is the key to any forced induction kit.

Yeah that filter out in the open seems like a recipe for disaster?
