First off, the timing will always be variable. That's how the computers do
their thing. Second, 12PSI on a V6??? Uhhhh...it wasn't built for a turbo
so don't try to push it too hard. (And anyone comparing a Buick Turbo-V6 to
a Dodge V6 is trying to compare apples to oranges...they're built totally
different for the application.) How's the computer out of warranty????
There's a mandatory 5/50 warranty on all emissions related components and
(hopefully) you grabbed the extended 7/70.

Subject: DML: ah!!!! WTF?? what does this all mean

hey, talking to SciTeck, this is the conversation..
 Dester223: this is odd"On a stock motor with the exception of 97 dakota's
12 psi is a good reliabilty number"
 Dester223: what do you mean?
 Dester223: what's wrong with the 97 dakota engine?
 SciTeck Miami: a lot of the early 97 model V-6 dakota's have a problem
with
there computer management of air / fuel ratio curves and with the timeing
 Dester223: they changed computers in 1998? bastards.
 SciTeck Miami: this could be quite destructive when adding the
heat/boost/power of turbos
 Dester223: i guess i can't get twin turbos then. my timing is always
screwed.
 SciTeck Miami: 98 dakota' computers are corrected for the flaws
 Dester223: it's always variable. never stays constant.
 Dester223: can't i get my computer flashed to have the problems corrected?
 SciTeck Miami: well you can go to your local dodge dealership and have
them
fix the problem
 Dester223: it's out of
ranty...:(

WHAT Does this mean??
