That fitment issue with the speedo bezel must only be for SLS (video), because my DaveBs fit perfect, just pushed on. Wierd.

That's the original DaveB instructional video. They are not SLS rings.

i believe that the SLS rings are aluminum, and there on sale for 20ish bucks on there site right now... thanks for the video! helped out worlds.. but i have this stupid little light for my alarm that is right in the center of that black cover piece that keeps me from removing that, i would have to cut it in order to get to it... kinda sucks alot.

You dont have to cut the alarm wires. There is a clip and you just have to unclip.

I can't make any recommendations because I'm running the Unichip, but I'm sure there a a few places that could tune the AFC. Try and ask some of the other central Florida members on here. Why don't you try to tune it yourself, or download one of the maps on the forums? As for the little alarm light, it has plenty of wire, it might take some wiggling on your part to get enough slack form it, but it's definitely possible.

Do you know what code is being thrown by the ECU? I had a similar setup to you, with the exception of the dual BOV/BPV setup and the map I used was working fine. If you know of any reputable tuning shop they should be able to take care of you. The Split Second AFC is a piece of cake to setup, especially if you have a dyno with A/F like a shop would. You would just need to have your laptop with the software installed ready to go. If the guys at the shop know how to use Excel they'll know how to use the AFC software.

i was using the FMIC map, but was running way too lean apparently (went to autozone for their free cel tests) would you mind sending me the map that you have? always up to try some new stuff
