    Oil pump drive gears - don't wait to install, trust me

    I had the opposite problem...took forever getting one bolt out, but only 30 seconds to get it back in.

    VMP Customer Service

    Glad yours was taken care of, but looks like it went way on its own vs any thing VMP did. In my case, I will have to say Customer Service is insufficient for the difficult problems as I noted....problem was never resolved.

    VMP Customer Service

    VMP had me do the same process...I datalog, they review, they state logs are good and no impacts. We also went over the other obvious like vacuum leaks and such...nothing there. They mentioned they could probably update the tune that would simply prevent the P219A from popping up, however, I...

    VMP Customer Service

    I can only comment from a tuning perspective...haven’t had any hardware issues other than a missing throttle body gasket in my kit which they quickly addressed. For my tuning issue, I had a persistent P219A code that kept popping. Although VMP reacted fairly quickly in tweaking the tune to...

    First dyno

    That’s about the same numbers I pulled here in Colorado last year with stock VMP tune, but with a 82mm pulley due to altitude. I had to migrate to a local tuner as VMP couldn’t resolve a P219A code that kept popping. The local tuner appears to have resolved that (maybe by luck...who knows)...

    Oil pump drive gears - don't wait to install, trust me

    I went back and forth on this, but decided to swap them out while performing the supercharger install. Not hard to do, but quite tedious.

    Intermittent issues after VMP Stage 1 install - limp mode and P219A code

    @VMP Performance In the latest correspondence with VMP, they indicated they didn’t see any issues from the past data logs... I shouldn’t see P219A codes as they should be hidden...appears they think I didn’t load revised tune correctly. I loaded the revised tune twice...had to return to stock...

    NGauge no iat2 pid

    I assume it is MCT based on input from the tuner. I’m curious why HP Tuners felt the need to use or call out a different PID.

    NGauge no iat2 pid

    No, I haven't looked for that one in particular though. You may just have to scan through all of them.

    NGauge no iat2 pid

    When I had a VMP tune, it was IAT2. When I had a local tuner tune my car (problem with VMP tune and persistent code), PID is now called MCT (Manifold Charge Temperature) on my vehicle...don’t know why the change other than its tuned now with HP Tuner. If you still have a VMP tune, I assume you...

    Intermittent issues after VMP Stage 1 install - limp mode and P219A code

    I went with VMP as it was a small company, plug n play harnesses, potentially better inter cooler, and some mentioned Roush tunes were a bit down on power compared to VMP. Maybe I just got stuck with a VMP tuner that seems to think that when a customer plunks down $6k-$10k for a setup, that we...

    Intermittent issues after VMP Stage 1 install - limp mode and P219A code

    To be fair, the car seemed to run fine with the updated tune. They did update the tune to enable the emission test to run and again to ensure CEL wasn’t triggered when P219A popped...so I can get through emissions testing. Unfortunately, car still threw P219A codes. I understand it’s...

    Intermittent issues after VMP Stage 1 install - limp mode and P219A code

    Update: I didn't replace the O2 sensor as suggested by VMP, but went ahead and had a local tuner with dyno tune the car. After 500+ miles of driving, I no longer see the P219A code after a tune by a local shop. As a result, this suggests the VMP tune was allowing a P219A code to be...

    First drag strip run with VMP Gen 2R in Denver...only 12.8 time

    It’s basically the stock VMP Gen2R setup...JLT intake, 60mm twin throttle body, stock exhaust, 82mm pulley, 91 octane, 285/35-19 Continental extreme contact rear tires, and 3.55 gears. To be honest, I’m not looking to push power levels with more upgrades...sure I’d take more, but fairly happy...

    IAT2 now MCT - view MCT via phone app and bluetooth OBDII device?

    After I had my car dyno tuned, it appears the IAT2 temperature data is now a different PID called call MCT (Manifold Charge Temperature). I believe the local tuner was using HP Tuner software. Although I can see the MCT data via the SCT X4 tuner and the LiveLink software on my laptop, I no...
