It’s really a mixed bag with these cars especially with the earlier models. The 2010+ X’s have a better factory tune and are not as prone to these problems. The 08’s however are all over the place, some people have hesitation while others do not, there are TSB’s for bad fuel pump relays discovered by Cobb that leaned the car out dangerously. So it’s pick your poison, you might be rich you might be lean.

Thanks again! Everyone I met up at the first Lake George meet was very cool and shared a similar sense of humor as myself.

oh yeah!, stock 224k mile clutch + nozzles + 11mm IP (stock tune still) = “slip”

but no nozzle it was good to go still, probably would have lasted another 30-35k

Yes he is my boyfriend…you’re such a smart guy…how are you not running for President? 😉  
Read anything I’ve written, I’m not critizing suggestions, I’m critisizing the penut gallery that’s offered no help other than “It’s a pos and you’re a faggot that knows nothing.”  
Is Ernie a little hard to work with or frustrating as fuck sometimes? Yep…I’ve(+ a dozen friends) argued with him for years now on every car he’s owned since we’ve known him. That doesn’t make him an idiot or dumb. He’s a resilient little bastard and he’ll learn what he needs to…eventually. But just because he doesn’t know every single piece of knowledge about his Evo doesn’t mean he’s dumb and everyone should insult him all day every day. Give the dude a break…let him and his car exist…go on about your day.

Thats sooooo funny…lmgdfao too 🙂

Thanks miah. That part about “resilient little bastard” made me lol 🙂

Hudson, thanks for the link 🙂

Mike, My supposed “cheap ass, unheard of” exhaust came with the wideband bung installed in it too. I just plugged it. Perhaps that plug came loose…anywho, the tune is four days away. Otherwise I’d take you up on your offer of a beer’s worth wideband reading. 🙂
