  1. One interesting thing w/ the PLX is every so often (usually in cruise on the HWY) the PLX readout will go from a single decimal place, to 2 decimal place. I don;t know why and it seems random, but always cruise in vacuum...
  2. I use a craftsman flare nut wrench with vice grips on the outside of it to keep the wrench from flexing...
  3. yes. I had LC-1 and switched to PLX... Go with PLX
  4. I lied, mine does have the sequence problem as well. Other than that, my statement stands. I will probably be selling the PLX Gauge... Having things set-up to not have the hesitation step would be great for when my wife drives...
  5. Very happy and initial conclusions are positive. Very easy to install and the PLX SM-AFR seems to be working. Should have some more test time tomorrow. I am not having any of the power-on hiccups noted above...
  6. I have the analog out for logging currently, so I have a stereo Y plug on the SM-AFR box and that is the terminated box. That Y feeds the upstream boxes and an analog to USB module. When I had the SM-AFR as the upstream module, the various logging programs did not know how to separate out the AFR signal. So I had to run it at the end. I am guessing this will be the same, and for logging and sending the signal to your gauge there will have to be two splitters
  7. ^^^I agree. I got rid of the LC-1 because of all the headaches with it...
  8. You don't need to teach me about fluids engineering, it is what I teach Point out what is wrong in what I said. Use BL theory, heat transfer theory, or empirical results... You can't, because by all of the above, I am right
  9. That actually isn't true. Which part? Let's see. The more you cool, the more your pressure drops. Stock TMIC, better cooling, higher pressure drop. Aftermarket TMIC, poor cooling, lower pressure drop. The reason for this is because the channels in the aftermarket TMIC are larger. That is great for lots of flow, but poor for heat transfer. The large channels mean less pressure drop, and poor cooling due to those channels helps more. Honestly, the problem is the direction and design of the WRX/LGT TMIC more than anything. The shorter the passage, the better the pressure drop. So with more channels that are shorter, you can make smaller channels with better heat transfer and you get a better overall TMIC. (Lower temps and less pressure drop) But, the turbo layout doesn't allow for that... The plastic is MUCH better than aluminum for flow and heat if it is reinforced...
