Now comes the fun part.
You need to check your compression as mentioned.
You need to do a leak down test.
You need to check the timing. It requires you pull the aftercooler so the timing light can be used on the timing mark.
Who installed it? Who tuned it?

gona do a leakdown test and check timing on thursday, sooo hopefully i can find the problem with that.
i installed everything myself, had bisimoto tuned it. he's a awsome tuner
one of the weird thing is that my temp sensor doest read right on the aem ems. might be a bad sensor, going to replace it also

shouldnt the aem show the temp gauge on the laptop/computer? so when its a cold start it'll idle higher warming up the car faster, then settle down to regular rpm when its warm? or does the aem just not read the sensor at all, i know that the gauge on the cluster doesnt read.
