Things indeed happened last night ![big grin](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Car feels sooooo much better than before. No nitrous pulls yet, but we're (Vlad is, I'm not doing jack **** lol) still dialing things in. It looks like I messed something up with the vvt wiring since it's completely flatlined in the log, so I've got some investigating to do on what's going on there and then after that, we can get back to some pulls and giving it some naws.
Seriously excited for the end results, the car already behaves so much better than before.

Worked on Brad a bit last night. Started out by verifying that I had 12v to one wire on the vvt plug. Then since that was true, I decided to pull the ecu to troubleshoot what was going on. I verified that nitrous 1 output was working. After going back and forth with @afm for a while, flipping the polarity in ignition options seemed to fix things. Albert schooled me a bit on how things work and on a general level I didn't understand how the MS was reporting vvt angle. Turns out I didn't need to actually pull the ecu, but whatever. With that fixed, I went out and did another pull for Vlad. According to Vlad, we're getting close, so that's pretty exciting! He already sent me a new tune, so as long as replacing the fuel pump in my daily tonight doesn't take too long tonight, I should get out and do a little more driving/logging. I'm hoping to test out the nitrous this weekend, but we shall see how everything else goes.
Also, driving around with the lift has been pretty pleasant. I stole the wheels/tires off of Katy's miata because I wanted to do pulls with stock height tires but it hasn't been nearly as jarring as when I had the lift on previously (and it had no droop lol). It looks a little derpy because of that, but after the tuning is all done, I'll throw the other tires back on for another month or so before track season rolls in.
