Bob,
Other than the check engine light (ouch) the R/T surged and idled rough. I
think they screwed up by not putting an environmental seal around the
connectors, allowing moisture to get in. Dielectric grease might fix this,
although its too late for my module. I called JET and got an RMA#. I want
the JET perf (and mileage) and think the combo of a freer flowing TB and the
JET is gonna work good (especially of I can get over to JBA for those head
pipes)... Ill keep the list posted. Cant comment on TB availability yet
but stay tuned!

Bruce,

That's not good news.

I'm beginning to wonder if my JET is flaking out a little. I'm starting
to get intermittent surges at part throttle anywhere between 1500 and
2500. Think I'll pop the JET out tonight and see if it goes away.

With at least three people(my last count) who have had to return chips
for one reason or another, it would seem the percentage of returns for a
relatively small buying group is not too good. I thought JET had ironed
out their problems from years ago. Now I'm wondering.

Bob
