alright guys i think i figured it out. This chinese POS Casper's electronics harness wouldn't properly connect to my wiring... rather than going into the connector, the ******* pins just bent on two... and completely bent into about nothing.

My best explanation... the code i was throwing was because T/C and torque management wasn't working. It wasn't working because the pink and purple wires weren't making full, if any contact. (TP Sensor signal, and 5 volt reference). It went to close the TB because I was spinning at high RPM, and it couldn't, so it said **** this and went into REP.

So what did you do? Bend the pins back and use the harness?

what do you mean?

took it to the test and tune today after "upgrading" to a 4 inch intake tube and larger filter... lost about 20 rwhp and knocks at high rpm. detonation ftl

put a new fuel filter in it and now am looking for a fuel pump!

Awesome, glad you figured it out. I hate low quality stuff that you have to pay through the nose for and when you complain they say "That's the first time we've ever had a complaint".

How about you just tune it properly with the new mass air meter instead of changing everything for no reason
