Flashed and OBD2 connector pulled out and rerouted back to logging position. Why they put these connectors on the drivers side right in the knee zone and angled so they are in the way I will never understand. OK, I understand it is for the smog techs, but come on. Move it to one side, preferably the left and angle it any other way. And don't get me started on the plug shape/design and Cobb's choice of hosing and cable exit.

And it can't hurt to have a cleaned solenoid.

I know the Cobb Stage 2 maps pretty well. They or a rescaled version of them were what my car ran on since shortly after I got it and started using streettuner.

I thought going to Stock would be ubber safe, but realize now it really wasn't I only really needed the stock intake map/box as I fear my custom intake map for the Injen might have contributed to the last blow up.

Time for a test drive and some logging.
