Can anyone give me advice on tuning the idle area with this kit for when the fan comes on? Basically the car idles great otherwise (still working on the tune though) but as soon as the fan comes on (in idle) it pretty much craps out. Should I increase my ignition timing vs RPM map? I'm at a loss.
I'm on AEM EMS v2 (AEMtuner).

My guess is that as soon as the fans kick on, it's sending very hot air directly into the intake. The ecu is probably too slow to account for the drastic change in intake temperature. Have you datalogged the air intake temp when the fans kick on?
With higher load rad fans it can drop the voltage enough to cause issues. The IAC is similar to injectors.. when the voltage drops, the duty needs to be increased to maintain air flow.
Look at your voltage, If it drops below 12 volts then you can add more duty to the "idle extra <12 Volt" setting. this way if the ems sees the voltage drop it will add more duty.
If the voltage doesnt drop and its just the extra load on the engine thats killing it, then add more timing so that the engine is creating more torque at idle.

Can this resonator fit anywhere into the PTuning's dual exhaust?
Ultra Quiet Resonator, 3" inlet/oulet:

I'd like to quiet it down a bit at constant highway speeds.

I've even seen someone on here post pictures of two of them in series on his S2000.

I took your advice man and actually just got mine via fedex yesterday. And ordered a magnaflow oval 4" tip muffler too. Should be mint!

I had noticed a coolant leak where the inside coolant hose clamps onto the banjo bolt (which screws into the turbo) at the end of last year.
I had since purchased brand new coolant lines from PTuning and installed them on the car about a month ago.
This past weekend while I was installing PTuning's test disc into my exhaust (to control my boost creep issues) I found that the leak is back again, leaking from the same connection.....but this time it's leaking from both hoses at the turbo!!!
The pre-tension clamp that PTuning has on the hoses doesn't seem to be tight enough (I can turn the hose while it clamped on the banjo bolt)
I don't want to purchase another set of hoses from PTuning unless they are going to change this design (different clamping method). It was a PITA to change it the first time.
I am thinking of taking the turbo out, cutting the clamps off and installing worm clamps on there.
Any thoughts/ideas?
PTuning please chime in.
Has this happened to anyone else with the PTuning Kit?
On a good note so far, no boost creep, no boost cut with the PTuning test disc!!!!

This is where the leaky connection is.
