Well lets take into consideration the fact that my spool valve is broke too. It is leaking some oil out of where the VTEC oil pressure connector sits, so could the oil pressure be screwing it up or what?
Also, is the sound im hearing about consistent with what you are used to? I am pretty sure it was VTEC, considering the engine revved past 7200 rpms or so, whereas when I disconnected the blue wire, the engine was cutting out around 7k (such as the A6 used to) so my theory was that it was able to go above the 7k mark with VTEC engaged, however the car still doesnt feel any quicker than with my A6.
I am also running a short ram and an RSR 4-2-1 header
