Your build makes me smile haha.

I doubt you'll stay at those numbers for long, sooner or later she'll call you and tease you some more. Then before you know it you've hit ~250-300hp in the blink of an eye and probably max out your turbo. Then you'll want more...

BTW, how'd you hit 100,000 miles so fast?! I brought my car at 33,000 odd miles and, in less than a year, more than doubled that to 71,000 driving to work (delivery haha). Still have another year of driving to do...

I'm also waiting for the 100k mile mark for some uhh...new toys. Thank god for the aftermarket support for the 2AZ...

Who knew you needed the I4 to get to 200whp?

Thankfully I don't have to regret my purchase. Ragtop and the leather weren't negotiable so I didn't have an I4 model to buy.

Can't wait to see it in August!

Don't know but it might helps you.

This mercedes is pretty old...but he got the same symptoms as you do.

We could make him his own Gen2 Turbo/SC forum. It would be very lonely though.

I'm not sure at 100% but I think ECU doesn't really re-learn anything...at least, way less efficient then to properly tune it. I think it is a myth created by aftermarket companies...but I just seek the truth like you.

Well, the stock ECU does "learn" something, which is the reason why some people reset the ECU to gain back MPG on rich mixture conditions. However, since he has aftermarket programming, I doubt that will happen...

I think it is the automatic tranny that learn driving habit of the driver. However, maybe there is also little learning for the engine to join the tranny work, I mean some driver go for fuel economy and others for a bit more of performance, so maybe the learning tranny is working with a learning engine....and I'm the teacher !! :evilbat:

Seriously it can be it. I know it applies to the tranny...

the reason why the car is stalling is because his bov isn't recirculated. you can just let the ecu re-learn and it will adjust itself just let it run for about 15-20 min or just drive on the freeway for a bit till the ecu is done learning how much air flow is going in and out.

by **Sebas007** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 5:00 am

Well, I was wrong my bad. I remember I've read something like it to solve a guy stalling problem with is new turbo setup...recirculate FTW !!
