jerry,

Your right, he was talking about the ESM. He commented how much better it was. Just a thought if Wes was having problems.

Yes, Wes needs to dump that POS check valve and get something electronic. AEM or Comptech ESM. Throttle response is much better.

Today I installed the ESM and ripped out the checkvalve. Its a <Expletive> night and day difference. It is reasonably cold out, and the throttle response is instant/linear under boost. Screw the ghetto-style checkvalve and swap for the ESM ASAP. My checkengine light even went away.

My car ran bad all night tonight. I got beat by a stock S2000. But, I'm thinking it might not be the check valve at all. My car has also been starting/igniting rough/slow recently (past 2 weeks), possibly I need new spark plugs. Would high EGT's support this theory at all?
