Well, after a shit ton of calls to SCT over the past couple of days, and finally getting an RMA# .... I called accounting, sales, tech, etc. and bitched like madman, tt looks like they may have finally fixed the 2-bar issue on my truck!!!!!

I don't want to get anyones hopes up, but twelve starts with no CEL and no LIMP_MODE:mullet: My fingers are crosses bigtime....

So, are you going to keep the SCT or not. You can't bail now.

Mike, I just called you...lol. Hell no I won't bail if it is truly fixed. My truck is running pretty fucking good right now. I just need to deal with some boost leak and belt-slip and I am good to go:mullet::mullet:

Do you know if they fixed your CEL issue yet?

Well, Sean just email me a tune to try to see if it does fix it or not. I havn't tried it yet. I have my truck parked at home till I get my TB back from the vendor. I'm having it drilled and taped for the renzoni mount. I should have it back in a day or two. Then I will try Seans tune.

It looks like the fix is in the "Speed-Density" scalars. "MAP Min Counts" is a newly added scalar. Setting it to 120, looks to fix the problem... i hope that this sticks!!!

I looked myself. I am pretty familiar with the software after tinkering for 6 months. I am actually thinking about getting in the tuning game as a side gig...

I have the same blower, and the same size injectors. I just wanted to make sure I had it right. I think I do.
