So I'm still finding f-ups cause by the well respected Porsche shop here in Annapolis.
1- I pulled the valve covers off the check the adjustment. They had not adjusted the valves like I asked. They were WAY off. Jake say zero lash for my cam. They were very loose. Looking at my gaskets, they were not even checked.... 2- I installed a fuel pressure gauge in the engine compartment. Fired up the car and the gauge read 40psi!!!!!! 40 f--kin' PSI So I adjusted the valves to .001" just so I could check them with a feeler. What do you know, the car ran better and it cured the high RMP lag I was feeling above 4500 rpm. Then I dropped the fuel pressure to 30psi. Now it idled much better and had ALLOT more pick up. Smooth power delivery up to mid throttle. At full-ish throttle it seemed to pop or misfire. I expect that it is running lean. Makes sense when you consider the asshat tuned the MPS with massive vacuum leaks and 40psi of fuel pressure so....... I go to hook up my brand new LM2 to do the calibration and the stupid thing won't calibrate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I spent more time trying to figure this issue out then I did messing with the actual car. I guess I need to call Innovate tomorrow and see what they say..... |

Unfortunately, yours is the typical experience with shops. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I've also had trouble with Innovate stuff. If you can convince them to give you a refund, I would switch to AEM or PLX. Innovate has the most word of mouth, but their quality control sucks. |

Second that. Third McMark's recommendation. The stuff from 14point7 also works really well. I started using it on our racecar's since it's much less expensive than competing products and we found it to be very reliable (no failure after 3+ years of abuse). |
