key to position 2. Let sit for 2 mins, you will hear tb doing its reset procedure.

turn off

Start...

Also look for the small pipe that goes into the sc snout. It might have come loose.
Thanks for the tip Doc, I'll give that a try tonight.

Jake I keep getting paranoid that if I disconnect the battery I'll some how lose my tune

On a serious note, I think I've narrowed down the issue, I bought new (stronger) clamps to replace the oem clamps where the manifolds connect to the Y Pipe, I felt that made a difference straight away.

I then re-tightend the manifold bolts and went for a drive, car was flawless, it drove so hard I couldn't believe it. However after a few of these hard drives on the freeway it started to not pull between 5,000rpms and 6,200rpms until it changed gear.

So I came home and again re-tightend the manifold bolts, again it went good for a few runs and then the issue began again.

Im gonna get new cork gaskets from Rob and I'm fairly confident that will solve the issue!

John.
