Original Turbo 'd Auto !!
Jeff,
Since most of the AP owners are Manual Transmission owners, what gear & rpm should us 4 spd Automatic owners use? What speed is 4200 rpm and 4th for a MT? 4200 rpm in 4th is close to 100 mph for me!
9) Take your RX-8 to a safe section of completely flat highway where you can get the vehicle up to 4200 RPM in 4th gear for several miles at a time without being disturbed.
10) Once you are up to 4200 RPM in 4th, turn on your A/C, headlamps and rear defroster and set the cruise control to hold your speed.

Hey Jeff received your new base map last night thanks, The shop will be finishing up my car today and will be starting it up tomorrow hopefully all goes well, I'm a probably play around w/your pre fix maps as well as I can switch around w/those to get proper trims vs having one map and not knowing if the car will even run off it. Worse comes to worse, I'm bringing my laptop up there w/me which has the tuner software on it and get a dyno tune.

humm 
Just got back from my first trip. After reflashing my car usually drives like **** but after this whole little deal my car drove great. Idle was rock solid when coming to stops and it actually seemed to sit a bit higher around 900 rpm. STFT was dead on 0 after the drive when I was previously running 3a maps with -0 LTFT. oh well guess it's cooling time.

Jeff.
I recently removed by Mazsport coils and installed the BHR coils today. The car won’t start and I am highly confident it was installed properly because this is not the 1st time I have installed coils.
Would it be possible that my map is the cause of the problem? It currently has the different dwell settings for the Mazsport coils.

Jeff should I start playing with this to get a map for my current setup or should I just send you the 10 deadly questions since I will be changing my setup as soon as I recieve your injectors and couplers?
By the way how long for that? :D

Base calibrations work for ALL setups.
Once you get the upgraded injectors in place, you should submit for the adjusted base calibration.
You should have your stuff by the beginning of next week, I should think. I don't know exactly how long it takes for stuff to get to Puerto Rico.

Also do you think it would be smart for me to install the new turbo and CAI this weekend if possible. Then put the base map and do the logging and get this going and just install the injectors when they get here?
Im just trying to do it right and the easiest for you. Thats why im asking, dont want you to have to work more than you should.
If you think its ok that I should install the turbo and CAI this weekend with the base calibration then send you the logs and then next week install the injectors with the new map that you send me then Ill do it.
Thanks again MM

Im calling my friend today and if we can install tomorrow I will throw the turbo and the CAI in tomorrow to start the testing with the map. If not then I will just throw the CAI in there and start the map procedure hehe.

Damn it!! Why does all the cool stuff happen when I'm in Iraq? Also, does anyone know if the AP will work with the Esmeril Turbo? If I had to take a guess, I would say no, because the MAF is on the pressure side. Anyone got anything on this?
Edit: Talked with Ray and he confermed no go for the reason listed above.

Hey Jeff,
Now I know you said use the new base calibration map, but if I already figured out that the old "MM YYYYs TT AA vXx_1a.ptm" was correct and never got around to sending you the data log, would it make it any easier to send you the data log for that, or is it still better to remove the old 1a one, install the new one and send you the data log?
Just trying to make it easier on you.
