finally got some new tires, the ones that were on there when I bought it were the budget flavor and can be found at Wal-Marts. Not the best traction when it was moist out. Also had an indecent with a pothole and my sidewall. 

got 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position, so far they feel good. I drove straight home from tire place so not many miles on them yet.

COBB SF, silicone afta-maf and inlet, is this my build thread? hehe...

the scaling was really close to stock when I did it the first time. I've been playing around too much to remember which map I have that on. I'm a sloppy technician, need to take notes and all that.

I did make one or two short scaling runs before I flashed the testes map. 

On LV the AF learning looks ok, 5 or under in all blocks. I'll post it up here tonight just to show you guys.

What I was seeing in my logs is that when AF Learning #1 jumps to -10 sometimes -25, I'll have knock. Once when it jumped to -25 I had two incedents of knock, pulled 2 then 4 degrees. That's what's got me worried.

Still think I have an exhaust leak. I tightened everything but the bolt under the turbo/downpipe, the uppipe to turbo bolt - I did get the other two they were torqued good when I went to re-torque. 

I might seafoam it again to find the leak. The is so fustrating. My WRX has had exhaust leaks ever since I bought it. Starting to sound normal too me. I should have had zax or somebody at the MEAT listen to it for me.

from today heading to work...

from 2013-03-15 heading to work...

the last one was before I pulled some timing in those slight knock areas. 16 IAM, that's what the initial value is so it's not dropping.

also did some slight scaling between the latest one (top) and the earlier one (bottom)

I've been pulling timing here and there to squash the knock. No joy. 

IAM dropped to 8 this morning. Arg... Need to look at fueling now. Think I have issues with CL/OL transition. Gotta find my thinking cap...

yeh well this is what she said...

this guy is a little frustrated because of this and I kicked  my tactrix cable one too many times just before is does this...

and yes IAM initial value is set to 16 on my current map.
