And you know, there are actually dozens of rice/beans combos that can both maintain a healthy diet and reduce the grocery bill at the same time. When I was laid off for a year several years back, my wife simply expanded her already mature list of rice/bean dishes and cut our grocery bill in half (also reduced juices, meats, and fresh fruit). We never went hungry and none of us lost any weight.

i cant find it right know but i have seen where a guys chip would not make a good connection so he tinned the pins on the pcm, so i did mine just because i could. did not wont to have to pull it back out and do it later.
it may be possible to burn the pcm up doing it but if you have used a soldering iron before you should have no problems. i should have taken a pic of it but was not thinking about it when i did it.


update there is only one thing about the tunes i dont like, it makes my AeroForce gauge not read boost past 5 psi? i can here the boost building but the gauge dose not go past 5psi.

Although I don't have an aeroforce, it uses the MAP signal from the PCM Correct?

My Map will read to 21PSI which is where I have the Overboost set to. Double check that you don't have boost leaks or didn't blow the line to the MAP off. Did you get a "stock" tune as well? Does it show correct if you do? I don't have a stock personally as I would never use it.

no stock, and before the chip it showed more the 5 i have seen 19psi before.
i will check for leaks but i think the gauge is reading the map wrong.

It could be tuning related, MAP is manipulated by some, but I was just saying that my tunes Cale's although I would assume he writes them for his Dad? Still give an accurate PCM interpretation of the MAP as gauge pressure.

talked to Brain today, and he dose not know why the boots would not read. he dose not think that he could make it not read to the pcm. so i going to take the chip out and see if it changes, if so he wont's me to call him back to see what is happening.
im also going to check to see if there is a leak and change the map if the chip removal dose not fix it.

I had cales tunes once and then I talked to brian later From what it sounds like to me cale does not write tunes for Brian, he writes his own. I don't think they do anything together anymore.

I only ask because as of Christmas, Brian was saying his son did the tuning?
