Still working on the membership as in??

Sent it in? PayPal'd the dues? Contacted the membership coordinator?

Eileen will take your order but you won't get the discount without a membership number.

Also, for those in a hurry, contact me, so I can assist in expediting your membership!
Whatever you do, I can guarantee a delay by at least a day if you mail via signature required US Mail-I'm not home when Mr MailMan comes by, so it's actually slowing down the process, as I have to go to the post office the next business day to get it.

For contact info just google Westers Garage Westers, it's all there. Eileen will be happy to take your order without a NASSOA membership, she will also be happy to charge you full price. If you want the discount you must give them the membership number before you get the tune, or pay full price. Everyone at NASSOA and Westers is working very hard to help everyone out on this. That says a lot for the NASSOA, and the folks at Westers. By the way this tune will be basically the same for the HHR SS and the Cobalt SS. Here is picture of an ECM from a 2007 GXP, in case you are not sure what to look for. The part number is on it too.

When you guys talk about blowing hose connectors where is that happening at? The only thing on my IC pipes not using a T clamp is where they connect to the Intercooler at the front of the car (Next and down from the CAI Filter).

I will have a bit of downtime and was considering taking all of that apart to replace the clamps. I'm just not sure I really want to do that,, my fingers are still pissed with me for changing the stock IC pipes to Dejon.

But they do look so good

just a reminder...this is the last week for the introductory offer for the 07 GXP hot tune for NASSOA members......it will go up ($100) effective 1 April.....but you still get a significant discount off his full price....

get your membership number......download the file/order form and mail it with your ECM!

Wester's will offer an introductory price on the 08 GXP hot tune when available....

Cool, I've already replaced that one, and it's clamps.

If anyone is thinking about this tune and you have done the wastegate rod mod and you ran it all the way to the end then you really want to back it off just a hair so that about 3 exposed threads are visible on the end of the rod that connects to the wastegate.

I paid for mine today(at lease faxed payment form) and will try to have it installed in the next couple of weeks. I am gonna drive to Westers and have it done. I will take pictures and post if possible. Thanks for all the help I can't wait to feel the power.

I am so jealous, I talk to Lyndon Wester almost everyday and have no idea what he looks like. I am sure you will be very pleased with the tune and really look forward to the pictures.

After I put the original Hot Tune (v4.0, as I like to call it) I had a little knock so I backed it down to 3 threads showing.

About 2 weeks later, I put the uprgaded Hot Tune (v4.1) and noticed a little knock again, so I ended up backing the nut up to have 6 threads showing. No more knock as of yet.

Both times, I got knock in 2nd gear.

I'd like to note that Go-N Def has the Solo Street Race exhaust and high flow cat. I have the Magnaflow Exhaust and Solo high flow cat and I only have to back mine off for 3 threads.

So, It depends how many mods you have wether the wastegate mod can work with the Westers Tune. I believe HotScott has a stock car and can take full advantage of the wastegate mod with the Westers tune.

I don't have a knock problem, I have it backed off 3 threads, I have the same exhaust but have the Dejon IC. Go-N Def you should do a scan with HPT and send it to Lyndon, he really likes to see this stuff. I have sent him several scans. I need to do some more now That the tune has settled in.

If we are all going to do that then we should have a standard cofig file so that we are all logging the same things. I have two different ones that I have pulled together from different sources but we all might want to use one with stuff that Lyndon wants to see.

I just use the default setting in the VCM scanner, it works for Lyndon.
