Right now the STi is my only car too. I haven't knoticed any pinging, and maybe someone should ride along with me to see if they can hear it.

I don't think anyone is raising a stink, but just voicing their frustations. I continue to be patient and figure if I really need the reflash now I'd just rent a car for a week while mine is sitting in their shop. I did also offer some constructive comments about ordering 1 or 2 extra ECUs and doing the loaner ECU thing while a customers ECU is being reflashed.

I'd also suggest that those who have not gotten the factory reflash to go ahead and get it. The revisions SOA made to the knock control/learning logic is a great thing to have on your side.

if you are wondering what is actually happening and causing the det. turboxs has a little writeup now about it. they explain it easier than i remember what shiv wrote.

i have had it seemingly the worst of all cases. down to a full on zero power while flooring it for 2-3 seconds long.
note: the additive has masked the problem and the car gives me zero isses while autoxing now.(powerwise)

this whole issue is really ridiculous. i called braun last week and he told me to call him the next day as some one was going to talk to the person from FHI about the status. i called back and he told me that he would call me back. no word. this is BS! it seems like no one really cares. i think they should offer a loaner while the ECU is sent away for a reflash, if they can't do it here. i've been waiting too long for this!

Just an update. I was had to go out of town for 2 weeks so dropped off my car to have the chip sent in. Picked it up this morning with the updated ECU.
I haven't tried pushing it too hard yet, but will once the the ECU has relearned my driving..
I know, everyone has a Cobb AP now and doesn't care.
