Sorry to hear you are having issues with your new tuner! Are all the sensors plugged in (map, temp sensor after intercooler etc.)? Have you tried disconnecting both batteries (more at least 5 minutes) to do a reset?
We still have to finalize some design work on a few things but we hope to begin testing soon!
As for a reducer, Mcmaster as a low profile stainless steel one which can be found here http://www.mcmaster.com/#4464k381/=11amspm
This one is just over a 1/4" shorter then most reducers.
You are correct! You can find short adapters that will work. Just make sure the tip of the probe is centered in the exhaust manifold to have accurate readings!
If your existing plate works with the factory egt probe, all you need is a 1/4 to 1/8 NPT reducer in order to install the sct probe not a whole block off plate!
There are a lot of threads on various forums regarding additional PIDs for the torque pro app. We also have a a couple extras that we found and are utilizing on our Livewire extended PIDs. If anyone is interested I can compile an excel sheet and post it up here for everyone!
