I was recording 15psi. Once I build a proper motor I’d like to stay around 15-20psi.

Hi The1,

Is this point noted on FAQ or could be added to Enhanced PDF so it's clear for others mate ?

Caught me out and others by looks (Wade last year and JohnDee68 this week when I was searching)

Been running in my NA VY V6 wagon for nearly 2 years now and its great! Thank you mate!

i will add it in, i thought it was default to disabled, which it is on VX but wasn't on VY, will update them and no worries Hope someone makes good use out of all the bins, giving a bit better tune ability over stock.

Thank you. Hopefully it will stop others from bricking their PCMs

My NA VY v6 runs great with this mod in place and with minor mods picked up 1L per 100 and better gear shifts.
Cheers mate!

depending on bus chatter ive still been able to reflash a pcm with vats on. Failing that it would need a eeprom desoldered and reflashed and soldered back in. But for the cost of the pcm's, ive picked some up for $15 each it's just easier to grab another.

You should be able to flash a pcm with vats or you wouldn't be able to clone a new pcm from another vehicle

Think it's more that when the VATS is on people are not getting their car to start after flashing and trying other things to make it run etc. This is resulting in the bricking. As you guys know, if you get a bad flash or the flash tool hangs during flash, it can be game over for the PCM pretty quickly. Hence the warnings to be careful by VL400 in his guide.

Just a question for VS V6 N/A with manual transmission. There are 2 flags one says "Manual transmission option" other is "Manual Getrag transmission"

Need some advise here please. (See pic)

Manual for t5 then tick manual & geteag for geteag.

Just the info I was after. Thanks
