I need to tune mine as well but never have the time. Are you getting the TB bored as well? I get mine Friday, so I'll tell you if it helps any. One thing I noticed is your exhaust ports aren't huge like mine (good thing). Dyno will be good, and it should feel even better after tuning. I'm assuming you have the e-manage or vafc. Good luck with everything.

Rep Power: 0 Glad to hear that everything is running...If the P&P is done correct, you should feel it pull like you have described...I know I noticed a big difference after mine was done...How big of bore was done on your TB?

Rep Power: 812 Rough idle 
Probably caused by the throttle body. If you reset the ecu, it probably will go away after a few hundred miles of driving. The ecu needs to recalculate a/f ratios based on the increased air intake. If that doesn't work, I'm guessing something is wrong with a sensor on the TB. KMS should have pulled all those off when boring it, so they may have been put back a tad off. The TPS is the main cause of rough idle usually, but can be fixed by moving it up or down. Did be put screws on the TPS so it can be adjusted? The stock one has some rivets that can't be loosened. I guess you could always gently tap it, but be careful. Also it won't do much.

Rep Power: 0 It only does it sometimes. Like if I put the car in park it keeps jumping from 1000 to 3000. Up and down.If I turn the car off and start it then it goes away. Also the engine bay is very hot now. It only take like 20 sec in the moring for the temp needle to be at half. Before it took like 2 mins. But the car is not overheating.

Rep Power: 812 I noticed that with mine, and I'm betting it's the header. It gets alot hotter than before, which is gonna hurt performance as far as hot air getting sucked in. It got down to 50F tonight, and my engine sounds completely different. More of a throaty sound, and it feels faster. Your problem sounds like a TPS, or one that just wasn't adjusted to factory spec. See if they put screws on it so you can loosen them and move it around.

Rep Power: 812 I just installed mine and no idle fluctuations. Still too low though, so it shakes. You can adjust the TPS if kms put screws in yours. The stock TB has some tamperproof rivets.

Rep Power: 0 The place I took my car to said it can be adjusted. I am going up there now. The car bogs down on me like 3 times last night. I dont even have to give it gas for the car to move. If I let of the brake the mph go up by itself
