So much for hoping they wouldn't find it. Despite how well hidden you believed it to be.

Problem is now, is that in the event of future repairs, is that it has been noticed, and is highly likely that it has been documented quite extensively in their database(s), so no matter which dealer you may choose to return to for future repair(s), this will follow you around like an albatross.

Be prepared for constant, uphill battles from this point forward. On nearly everything.

Good luck. :thumb:

Well i'd hate things to go from ''normal'' to ''easy'' so... maximum effort it is ..

Let me know if you ditch the meth.  I'm interested in putting it on.

It has been covered.   But they protested heavily citing the meth kit. 
Congrats! I guess your last resort is to Blame the previous owner!  Z

maybe next time! Hopefully this is the last major repair.  if i can go without another big bang for a few years maybe e85 will be a little more wide spread and i can ditch the meth and go e30 instead.  then there will be no visible mods for them to zero in on.

sure boss,  but it may be a while.  Even in Hippy land e85 is not easy to get to at the drop of hat... maybe in a few years

Got it back.  Test driving.   
Ptu was reported to have a 7" long crack that was 1/2 inch wide at the bottom going upward.   They would not let me take pics..  fully covered.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Something is hideously wrong, I'm 99.9% sure they didn't test drive it .. it's not transferring power back or forth at all and it just trashes one tire the entire time and it's not throwing a code...

After a really large amount of wheel hop it goes into safety mode a d stops trying to put power to the fronts.

No weird noises though

Going back to stock now.. taking it back

Stock seemed ok... So im running on the theory that I need to flash it out . flash it back and let it relearn is now what I'm going to do

Ok were "better" .. but it's wierd.  It is spinning hard enough that stability control, kicks in where it was not before. 

More efficient power delivery?

The gear oil gets really thick. I would imagine it was hindering performance.

Tragically, they told me it was a remanufactured 2010 unit so I'm a little bit hosed on the accessport

They probably flashed your ECU while there, so use your SCT to pull the strategy and get that to your tuner to verify and make sure your tune matches up?..
