Where is TurboBob (LTCC Ignition)?

I've sent him an e-mail and a PM with no reply.... I know he has a history of great customer service... just wondering if anyone knows where he is?

Re: Where is TurboBob (LTCC Ignition)?

BTW... here is the e-mail I sent to him if anyone else may have any ideas about solving my problem.

Hi TurboBob,

I purchased and LTCC and intalled it yesterday.

It seems to run fine except for the 3Blink code I am getting. I searched on Camaroz28.com regarding this problem and have not been able to find out what the problem is. My green light also flickers a little at idle usually following the lopy Cam... but no flickering when reving the motor

Here is what I did when installing the system:

-Car: 1995 Camaro Z28 - Modified 383 Motor - Automatic - Naturally Aspirated... Nitrous will be installed this week. No electrical water pump, but I do have a underdrive pulley. No other ignition equipment or electrical changes (I do have an aftermarket stereo)

-LTCC Computer mounted near Relay/Fuse Box. It is installed with 2 sided tape... not bolted... but I did try grounding it with a wire with no change
- GM LS1 Coils all ground individually with 2 grounds going to each fuel rail bolt - I changed/moved grounds, no change
- Passenger side coils on Intake Manifold mount/ driver side mounted to valve cover
- I used Bosch Wires (regular resistance)
- I soldered all wires... 2 pink wires to the pink one coming from to the ignition coil and the white one going to the Coil Module .... Coil and Ign Module have been removed
- I ran the 2 pink wires and white wire together in wire cover from the LTCC to the connections... I tried moving them, splitting them, etc... no luck
- The Stock Opti pigtails were cleaned with electrical contact cleaner before connecting to system
- All coil wires are routed near firewall together with the Pictail Wires from the system
- Fuse changed to 25 amps (did not have a 20 handy)
- I had not opti issues before the install... no misses, no codes (stored or otherwise)
- computer is reading about 12.8-12.6 volts depending on load (AC, lights, etc)... I read this from my Scanmaster

I hope you have some idea of what is causing this 3 Blink Code. My car is pulling strong with no misses (I have gone through each wire several times to make sure connected correctly), and while I do have some idling issues while stopped in Drive (some inconsistant lope), the car runs very well.

I was also wondering if the car will loose any performance while the code comes up... as it seems to drive stronger now than with my stock ignition system.

Looking for Bob myself. I also have a similiar issue and sent him an email early yesterday with no reply so far. Fresh 383, Green is steady on, the red is blinking once, then three times, over and over. Car appears to be running decent although I haven't put it under load yet. I'd like to figure out the cause before I get it on the road.
