I spoke to Trent about it on Saturday night for a while. Was good to pick his brains, and He has been reading up on SAU about some of the traits of the M35.

Also forgot to mention - Throttle will be converted to Cable, easier for the ECU to run.

Funny, a while ago their dyno guy said he has tuned 'heaps of M35's'. I was skeptical because their isn't anything to tune unless you have some sort of piggback or A/M ECU - & there really isn't that many cars like that up there afaik. Then he convinced me he didn't know what he was talking about when, in response to my answer to "what is my target boost setting?" (18psi), he says "that's 10psi above factory - you'll never get there with the standard turbo".

I suspect he had his C34 goggles on.

hahaha... maybe so. I've been told they comply 3.5 factory turbos by one place, but with their rep it didn't surprise me. Another very well respected place when I was looking for a tuner said "yeah, we'll give it E85, and give it 15psi, should make mad power". Told Him he'd be sweeping my internals off his dyno room floor, turned on my heels and walked out because they had no interest in listening to what I actually wanted.

Thats why I recommend the guy in my Sig!

Not sure what i'm doing yet, the M35 is definitely handy, I just got back from Costco with a full load of groceries... :)

I got the evo 7 extremely cheap, couldn't pass it up. Complete with bearing knock...

The A4 is for the missus, she will be selling the 323, soon too I hope as i'm broke now. lol.

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
