[DFI Box Has Returned With Updates]
I just got off the horn with the shop. The car does NOT surge during cold start or at all so I'm told. I gave them permission to drive the hell out of it to make sure everything is cool. I'm praying it's how I got it back from LPE the very first time(Quirk free). I'd dealt with enough shizat with this thing. It's time to click the key, mash the pedal and see what kind of times it'll bring.
I'm working on bring it home today. Wish me luck, God knows I'll need it :lol:
Just an update.

What a feeling!
I drove down to try it out. Cold start, cuh click, boom! Fires right up. NO SURGE...backed it out of the shop and drove for about 20 miles or so. It does as it should. Revs right to 6000 also! All in all, a nice improvement.
I can't wait to get it tomorrow.

I am beyond relieved! When I clicked that key tonight(MrNuke will see what I mean tomorrow, He's giving me a ride!) and it just roared without any un-necessary action, I was all smiles. The ride was awesome too. Before the whatever(Exorcism?) :D it used to literally surge the whole car 'til it warmed up. Nice nice nice!!!

:D I didn't sleep too well last night! ANXIOUS!!!!!!
Chuck, I certainly hope it's my turn to have a turn key and smile. I've paid my dues!
Jesse...you're right. There is always good and bad,sadly...with cars sometimes more bad than good. It was a good time to test it, it's freezing out there.
Thanks :)

All is well!
MrNuke(Thanks dude) took me down to the shop to get the car. We chatted a little while we we're there. The car is acting very mannerly. Nothing out of the ordinary. I am quite relieved. TONIGHT, I'll sleep well :)
The car's a complete mess. Definitely needs some tlc. We'll work on that.

Good luck with that thing, It feels great to get something sorted out after having longrunning problems... Knock on wood that these little gremlins won't show their face again :smash: :smash:
