MS3 surging and sputtering
Yeah they have sniffers in va, but they just hook into obdII, if computer is set correctly u are good to go.... nothing up the tale
Well, if the guy will overlook/not look at the fact there are no cats, or you can hollow them out, or used my preferred method:
A folded $20 to the technician

I would say that you should get a tune from a tuner that has your car. Sending the PCM away seems like there are to many different conditions, such as exhaust flow intake flow, IAT..... I had my car tuned and it drives fine, although it does surge a bit when i bog it really bad or when its cold in the morning. If i was you i wouldn't waste my time sending it to TSP just get a custom tune.

if the car was driveable, i wouldn't bother with the MO tune. but seeing as i've already got 1 year of retunes from them, and the tuner can't get me in for another 2 weeks, i don't see where it would hurt to try.

its driveable with the MO tune but it could be better. im running rich, she bucks HARD if im going to slow in parking lots and to start a smooth roll from a stop i have to get her up to atleast 1500 rpm, but i think thats just the cam?

i think what i'm going to do is send the computer to them and try to get it a little closer. going by what mikey said, i'll probably scrap the catted y-pipe, and go ory. then i'll head to mike and get the thing tweaked.
trevor -- do you all lock the pcm in any way after you tune it? just wondering, because i don't wanna run into any issues at the dyno.

They didn't lock mine and my first tune I had was a mail order tune from TSP. Pretty impressive to have so many variables and get it so drivable, I'm and A4 though 
. Good luck!

Don - it's not running right just yet, but i LOVE the idle sound!! it's gonna be a monster after a little dyno time!! you'll be pleased.
Jon, i'll probably be sending the PCM back to ya at least one more time just to get it close enough to drive for a while. I know you boy can get it right!
