Hey Boet, I'f it's shielded you shouldnt get any interfearance fro other signal lines.... Have you grounded the shielding? That may help if it isnt grounded through the dicktator or to the body, It all works on the theory of a Faraday cage, which is required to be grounded to work efficiently.

I wouldn't put it beyond the Box hey....... I think mine might be a little erroneous too actually, im thinking of just getting a new one though, so I start fresh with no problems. P.S. Get rid of the friggin blue pipes in ur bay bud.... Get is coded to color .... Gonna look so hot when she done...

Also, check your shilded cable for breaks may be, check continuity on each of the lines, might have a intermittent break. Also, I think it's about time you change over to 60-2, much cheaper than CAS, still runs wasted spark and parts are way easier to get hold of...

After my recent lengthy SX drought .. i got it all this morning.. driving 2x Pimped SR' S13's first thing in the morning... Stoked.

Micals car is very smooth on boost and a really easy to live with car.. i really really enjoyed it, shot for that Mical.

2 things were weird on his car though.. the one im sure is no problem .. just weird :) is the clutch its feather light, is that just the sign of a well designed clutch? By comparison my clutch is a bit of a gym workout, yet they both big power capable clutches?

Secondly.. and this is dangerous IMO.. is the 'non' self centering steering. He fitted the laarnie adjustable Lower control arm kit.... and then had the car aligned. but the steering is pretty stiff which is fine and probably due to all the new joints.. but i couldnt get over how weird the steering was acting. Ive suggested adding more caster to increase the centering pull force.. but if anyone else has a better idea... >?
