Ok. So I got it figured out. Unfortunately John sent me a wrong map. I called Visconti and they sent me another Map and the car starts and runs great now. Thanks everyone

How's your bumper alignment doing against the driverside fender after all those removals?

Yep, I think once it has been removed about three times, it will never be the same. I have the same issues.

can any of you guys run a data log from some hard runs and normal driving and email me or upload it? just want to compare some things. also just let me know what tune you are running?

I got a light burning odor after installed the Vortech SC. Is this normal for a first few runs since the kit needs to break in ? Thanks

I need to do some data log later on to send to John, so I can email you my data log if you want. Please pm me your email address.

I did have some stink. Went away quick though. The charge pipes are painted and so is the intercooler probably burning off. My supercharger also burped out oil from the vent plug for a week after. It was to the full line but apparently it was too high I could smell the oil. Check for seepage around that hole.

It is good to know it is normal. I also got the oil coming out of the vent plug but not too much.

Mine is now scratched and has a bit of a gap near the headlights.

The oil level on the dipstick should be exactly in the middle of the hash pattern. If it's higher than that, that might explain the oil spewing out and possible causing the smell. Shouldn't be any burning smell coming from the charger pipes or intercooler.

It comes full from Vortech so I figured why drain the factory fill. But apparently you need to.
