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.
no you get a wide band installed asap! :rofl
LOL I’m fabbing the gauge pod as we speak and have an AEM UEGO on the way.
Very well man! 
If you want me to tig a 02 bung on for ya, I can do it in less than an hr, and you can even install the gauge yourself at the shop, or I can do it for teh cheaps. What ever works best for you man. i am here to help.
Thanks bud! I appreciate the offer but fortunately my AMS Hi-Flow Cat came with an extra bung. :tbu
I’m sure I will need yours and the community’s expertise in other ventures on this car though since I’m newbish at this stuff.
Ohh thats slick! Nice feature they have there!
Hey what ever we can do to help. As much as some of us seem like butt plugs on the internet, in the shop we are all friends and willing to help how ever we can.
Thanks again! Everyone I met up at the first Lake George meet was very cool and shared a similar sense of humor as myself.
i had a slipping clutch once. when i floored it, the car yelled out “zippy doo dah” at me as the RPM’s rocketed towards redline(roughly 4400rpm)
too much TdiPowarz!
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.
He can do what he wants, i dont care. I dont know shit about his car or clutchs.
over night parts from japan is all I’m saying lmgdfao
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.
So i wonder what puff ever found out with his car hmmmmm I hope he over nighted parts from Japan
harry’s was closed.
