[stp]

Yeah! Could not have come at a better time.

[AZSPEED3]

Great write up, one of the best I have seen on tuning the MS3/6. Sticky

[WorstEpEver]

Thanks for the useful guide. It's similar to the cobb helpfile, but with more hand holding to guide you through it and more useful examples/analogies.

My favorite has to be the one about the WGDC and the waterfall bucket "Now Dude!". That made me LOL

[TurboDreams]

great work colin. thanks again!

[eppopipe]

Thanks!!
Anything different I should watch out for on a Genpu as your guide is written for a Genone?
Im reading through it right now.

The major principles remain the same. You should note that the fueling is very different on the Genpu ECU as it relates to falling under 1600 psi; it overcompensates more. This makes it all the more pressing to upgrade internals on the Genpus.

rfinkle2 know much more about the Genpu factor, and pointed me to this guide: http://accessecu.com/support/docs/su...%20Support.pdf

Just wanted to let you know, Ive gotten my WGDC's in check now.
Now, I just gotta work getting my LTFT's in a little better and I should be good to go, A+ on the guide!

[Lytheum]

[racingred]

Damn Abilor...exactly what we need...Where did you get time to write this? Browsing and so far so good...good job!!

[kunfu]

Fuck yeah. Thanks man!

[emag remrofni]

Very comprehensive. I'll send some $ your way on my payday.

[skeeter149]

thank you my man i am reading this now

[rfinkle2]

The amount of time, talent and research that it took to put this paper together is truly a 2nd job.

Thanks very much for creating an all encompassing, extremely well written and entertaining paper!

Sticky.

This guide is like an extra sun worth of light shining on the subject of tuning, thank you!! @Abilor

I'm only on page 7 and I already sent a donation. Thank you for this excellent write-up!

[Vader]

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

For real, great work.

[LuczOr]

Well done Abi. You beat me to it... and you have a WAY BETTER format lol.

[wankular]

Good job. I'll put this in the bathroom and have it read in no time. I love manuals that include the word "fuck."

[Stingray69]

Great work! Where the hell do you find the time? You must have one hella wife with a baby in the house to do shit llike this. The typing alone would take most of us months.

[atvfreek]

"So should you command 11.8? Fuck no. Start out easy with 11.4, and make sure that you can hit that before you go apeshit".

Lol'd at this. Nice write up.

[stokes620]

Awesome work - thanks for all the help. 1.6 and logs in the AM

Abilor FTW

[Boost_creep]

This write is perfect Abilor! Well written, and completely understandable for noobs. I'll be paypaling a donation shortly.

[nindoja]

I'm only a few pages in but this guide is really good. Now someone should man up and write a guide like this for load-tuning...

Challenge accepted. When the cold comes, and after a few mods, I will drill into this. Sequels FTW.

[backward_0]

Dude. this is exactly what i needed. THANK YOU!

[ms6bb0y]

appreciated. on the strength.

[Ziggo]

Thanks for this! Now I can just tell nubs to search for this and we can reduce 90% of the questions in this section.

Exactly the goal.

[ChazSpeed]

Love this! I just got my AP and this has reduced my anxiety by quite a bit! I am only through the first section but now feel comfortable running log runs correctly and reading what is going on. I am not sure I want to tune myself (there is a cobb shop 20 minutes away), but I think being able to read the logs and understand if you have issues is VERY important, and the first part of this guide goes a long way toward getting a noob to read their logs well.

The only confusing note I had was about KR. I had no idea what KR meant, and so when I read the paragraph on page 11 about KR I thought you were saying that KR should stay around 2 and anything below might be of concern. Once I hit the appendix I saw that you meant below two is probably safe, but you want to see why it is happening at all. So you may just want to put a note in that paragraph saying that a 0 KR is ideal, anything below a 2 should be noted, and anything above a 2 should be a concern.

Other than that I love it so far! Your writing style is easy to follow and your analogies work well (from a noob standpoint). I will shoot over a donation to you and the forums shortly

[mazdaspdmike]

downloading it now. so badass. thanks dude!

edit: have read 16 pages... this is immensely helpful, a lot of this stuff I knew but tidbits that I didn't make a huge difference and are already helping my knowledge base BIGTIME... I'll be reading the rest tonight after work and hopefully sometime this week I can start tweaking my tune a bit!

Thanks for these suggestions. I'll add them to my revision notes. I plan on releasing notes about every two weeks, then maybe taper to once a month.

Glad it's helping y'all out.

[Z3roFlaw]

Abilor, I fucking love you man. Thanks for putting this together. I plan on reading it in its entirety as I'm sure I will learn a lot (I'm a tuning noob).

Abilor, to adjust the idle, are we only modifying table A?
