So SpadezWRX (as is his new name) is awesome and he helped me clean off my MAF sensor and get rest of FMIC connected. The car is idling correctly now as opposed to wanting to die! Can't wait for AP now so I can wail on it

i would say dont spend the money on AP and go open ecu. save yourself 650 dollars 
example: Dmoneywrx had an 06 w/ pro-tuned stage two set up from gst w/ AP. after i got my stage two set up from XPT tuning i was actually pulling on his car. So shortly after devin sold his AP and loaded up the XPT tune for his car and was pullin on me.
just food for thaught

Thank you for the Advice,
But I get tuned by Ed @ EQtuning and what he prefers is the Accessport to tune off of. Secondly, I literally have no time whatsoever to drive Anywhere to get tuned : ( I work Monday through Saturday every month and I need to be tuned here in the Modesto area. I actually have an Ecutek tune on my car right now but I'm not even driving my car currently because it is setup with VF34/FMIC but on a Stage 1 map. It's been a huge mess in general with this process as I've also been involved in getting screwed over on Ebay. In the end I just need a base map to run off of until I can actually get Ed to come down on a Sunday.
As for the Xtune or whatnot I really don't see how it could be that much quicker than the AP. Everything has to do with the specific tune done on the software and also the mods on each car and the specific conditions and drivers. Either way I can guarantee once Ed is done with mine I'll be faster than any other non-EQ tuned 2.0 VF34 setup out there (evil grin).

Sorry bout that Paul lol, my car's been down for about 2 weeks now. 
had bad wheel bearings and axle, so I've been working on it ever since. It's just the rear end, so it's not to bad. Finding the right prices was the hardest part, but I got lucky, since I met an old neighbor of mine who has some of the best sources I've ever seen b4. Great products, and great prices. Anyways, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it'll be driveable by the end of this weekend, but I have a feeling, it won't be up till mid week.
I checked out the turlock meet thread, and the 27th should work for me, so long as my work doesn't interfere. The 20th and 21st are autox days for me, and it'll be the first one in my scuba diving equipment.
Weird thing is I've touge'd more than I've tracked this summer.... Maybe it's b/c it's free ^_^ Neways, if I do end up seeing you on the 27th, would you wanna go on a drive maybe? Not that day, but I mean if I planned one out. I'd get brett and a few of the other guys in stockton 2gether too. But I'm never really fond of enormous groups travelling in new waters. I'm thinking of heading back south west and finishing what I started.. errr... .sort of.
I get a feeling this conversation would be "meet" material.... dammit.
