Sometimes I'll get it within weeks, sometimes days. When everything is working it is such a joy to drive, but when it isn't working...
I just put in an order to CSG for a new air filter since mine is a little beat up(my kit is second hand) so I'm really hoping that will fix the issue. Otherwise I'm going to look into using the delicious tune with MAP sensor instead. Prefer to drive stock carb, but even more important is driving something reliable. I don't track and don't drive super hard all the time. I just want it working reliably. I'll report back one way or the other if the replacement filter works.

Not sure what other symptoms you may be having, but check my post here:

My issues were caused by a MAF extension harness that had wires pulling out from the connector. This was something that I believe was a manufacturing issue (in regards to the harness). Once I replaced the MAF extension harness - all my issues went away. This was a regular issue for me and I just thought it was a nuance at first. Then all of a sudden the car died and it seemed to get worse so I knew it was something faulty.
