Yes, if it's never been in your car before it must have the case relearn done. This only has to be done once and then you can swap back and forth with your stock ECM and tune if you have one.

I was worried if mine would even make it in to Canada. It looks like it did and cleared customs and is on it's way to Alberta. Hopefully it actually finds Lyndon and I don't get any additional charges from customs! haha

The turbos get red hot, it is what they do, they are cooled so no worries. Just don't do a "Drive it like you stole it" and then park, give it a minute after running it hard.

My Global Express Guaranteed delivery didn't deliver as guranteed yesterday. Apparently they tried to deliver after Wester's closed, although the delivery attempt on my tracking info said they tried to deliver a 2 PM. I'm guessing their time on the website is wrong.

That's weird, when I shipped mine they said the same thing, and I talked with Eileen and they were there, she just goes over and picks the stuff up most days at the post office, should have it today.

I'm trading emails with Lyndon....hopefully they get it today. He said this happens on a regular basis and didn't seem too concerned. He said they get the same thing with DHL and it always seems to freak out his customers.

I don't think they will ship to Canada. Someone had asked me to buy one and ship it to them a while back

This may have already been covered in this thread, but I dont recall reading it.

Does Westers have a tune out for the new turbo kits hitting the market? I really want to get the tune, but if he has a tune for the turbos out, I'll have to put it off until I swap in a Dejon kit after the car gets garaged in the coming months (hooray for no more DD solstice!)

He can do a tune based on dyno info after you get the new turbo installed, from what Dejon has said the hot tune may be a good place to start on the new 16g. Lyndon has to have data to do a tune. He would ideally need the car, but he can tune from dyno runs, just gets a little expensive, be good to have second ECM.

My tracking for my ECM still shows no update from yesterday. I guess I'll call over there tomorrow and see if it made it there or if they picked it up. Argh, how frustrating.

We are in the same boat.

I shipped mine on Wednesday last week, guarenteed delivery by Friday...

I spoke with Lyndon today and he said it wasn't there yet. That's insane in the membrane.

I am really not concerned but I was hopeing to have it back by Today and here it's not even arrived...I haven't looked to see where it is...

Does this mean 1) our delivery is free?
