Do you have the flex fuel tune or the whole flex fuel kit? I don't see the kit on their website
@sales@delicioustuning.com

When will the full kit and tune be on the website?

Ok, so the bearing failed and was replaced with the pulley. Got it.

Stupid question, but do we have 2 idler pulleys?

We have several testers out, unfortunately our testers took the last of our FlexFuel sensors. We've ordered a batch and are waiting on them to come in. That's literally the last bit.

I've got a noise/squeak from the idle or tensioner pulley now, and only 500 miles after installing the supercharger. Does the pulleys making noise pretty much mean it's about to go, or is it normal now with the added strain from the SC?

I was getting squeaking from the idler pulley. It never failed completely, but when I took it off it had a lot of slop in the bearing. I'd suggest you pick up one of the pulleys that I linked to above, I've had it on my car for some time now and it isn't squeaking. Seems like a good fix.

I've read about some guys having low speed drivability/throttle modulation issues, whereas some others say their's feel just like stock...simply by using a canned tune (i.e. Delicious).

So I went down to see a local sprintex installer/tuner (renowned subaru specialist) chatted a long time but he pretty much said it can't be totally eliminated. According to him they can smoothen but it'll always be there. I always thought a dyno tune would be best. So I left there slightly confused and not feeling very confident about using them

Going to speak to another tuner tomorrow. Plan is to bet boosted before xmas

I had surging/ bucking issues at partial throttle after being dyno tuned and started to think I made a big mistake. Eventually driveability got so bad I dyno tuned again at a more reputable shop and all the issues were completely eliminated. If it has any throttle issues, they are so minute that I can't feel them. It's all in the hands of the tuner here. Heard nothing but praise for delicious tunes, I wouldn't hesitate to go that route.

Mine still to this day surges and bucks while the oil temperature is cold, and this is on the most recent revision from @DeliciousTuning. I'll be pulling the blower off of my car soon to look at the laminova core and to redo the pcv/ breather system on the car. Gonna be installing dual Radium catch cans and replacing the pcv valve. I'll also be adding check valves to the outlet sides of the catch cans, since radium doesn't supply any, if I can find them.

Edit: I also replaced the 2 coil packs that were misfiring the most and it still misfires while the engine oil temp is cold. Spark plugs, however, looked good when I checked them.

The only temp related issues if heard of were maf/map related, I wonder how oil temps are affecting driveability?
