Good news, I went in for inspection and they failed me on drivers side wiper jet inop (clogged), and drivers side airbag inop (aftermarket MOMO steering wheel) I just need to disable it, just got to figure out how? I really thought they were going to fail me on my loud exhaust. I have a HKS Carbon Ti Cat back. man all that worrying for nothing.
update on idle hunting. I really thought about taking it to CDT performance but they can only quote me 41 euros an hour and Im taking a gamble on how much he really knows. He can spend 10 hours and still not figure it out. Im just going to take it to Reworx in England.

great to hear that there is another FD in the area maybe we can meet up and I can check out your J-spec. Do you know anything about Phil's garage? someone refered them to me and I haven't went by to check on them. Their location is over by Ramstein.

Nah I haven't heard of Phil's garage. Maybe I'll try to check them out sometime soon. My car is pretty stock so next year i'm thinking of getting a PFC along with some other goodies so hopefully they can do a tune there, or CDT. yea mayne, if you ever hear of any car meets or poker runs or anything in the area lemme know.
Also bump for osky's7 question about his turbo issue. Sorry I don't have any helpful info on the problem, I still have the stock twins.

thats alright i consider the fd to be an elitest car anyway. less kids tryin to rice em out the better. what kind of ignition are you running cuz mine has the same issue and im about to install a crane hi6 to help burn more of the unspent gas that might be bogging me down under full throttle. hopefully i fixes my problem and maybe the same issue with yours.

yeah i saw it the other day at the craft shop with temp tags. He was cleaning it up.
looks alright. I wont be heading out there tonight, next week I will be. I have my friend ben coming by tommorow after 9am. He's going to help me put in my fighters air temp sensor into my greddy elbow. Possibly help tune ..leaning it out a little. My eyes get a little watery when I walk behind my car.

Hey osky, got your PM and just noticed your thread. I have a good bit of tuning experience (street tunes). I haven't used a PFC, but the fundamentals are all the same. What wideband are you using?
I am a professional mechanic (vehicle mechanic for the AF) and I am about an hour from Ramstein. I would be more than happy to help you guys out.

What sensor are you using with the wideband? Is it hooked into the PFC?
March works for me. I drive my FC year round, lol.
I also do body work, that's where I started my career. I'm working on a paint supplier right now. I really need to do the paint on my ride.

Most likely I'll use PPG or Dupont, I've sprayed both for about 8 years. I just came up with an idea for the paint that I'm calling "Dead Sun"...it should look pretty trick when it's done. My last FC I painted with a three stage Lamborghini orange paint from PPG. Like I said, I started my career as a body mechanic and moved on to regular mechanics (via a career field merger). So I wouldn't say I know a little, I am a professional :-)
