^ Did you try swapping .z firmwares? I believe .z107 is usually the accepted firmware for toyotas/scions.
What exactly is the problem? Can you even connect to it? |

I tried the firmware and failed. Talked to the AEM techs they said its very unlikely that its a hardware issue but I am welcome to send it to them. Only thing i can think of now is the wiring is bad. Something came loose or something. Next possible factor could be that the TPS has gone bad for some reason. Gonna go through the wiring again and make sure all connections are secure. Probably something up with the grounding wires i think.

Sigh
Dont let friends drive your car....
So either my turbo blew or my engine is shot. Rough idle, misfire above 1k rpm, very strong jerking above 1k rpm. Popped the hood and it sound like a vacuum cleaner. Gonna check the turbo tomorrow for shaft play and pray to GOD my engine is ok. If engine is gone then time for rebuild |

Before drawing those conclusions, check all hoses and piping. I had a very similar situation when the charge piping off the compressor housing popped right off while driving. The symptoms were very similar... Also, the fact that you describe it as sounding like a vacuum cleaner further backs that up. You may be hearing the air being sucked in. |

Sorry to hear the bad news. Ya I dont let anyone drive unless I'm in the car. Let us know what happened. Hopefully a hose popped off or a spark plug detonated. I dont think U have enough miles on that turbo to have trashed the bearings already, then again I couldn't believe the bearing play on my turbo. Good Luck
