Yea it was boost leak tested..it had a minor boost least they said they fixed it. It was at the T where the boost gauge plugs into. They said it was fixed n then went back to tuneing. So I can assume everything is perfectly fine now cause nothing else was said.

ok well my advice to you is.. contact the shop, address your concerns regarding the car stalling and such.. give them a chance to make it right before jumping to another tuner.

i know who you're referring to and the man can surely fix the things you listed as things you want addressed. so i would just get in contact with him and let him make it right for you.

Nos5180 - can you please PM me the tuner? I live in the NJ area and just want to keep this in mind when I shop for a tuner around the area.

Hope they will fix it for you at no cost though.

What he said.

And a Picture of the graph will speak volumes on how the car is running.

Those numbers sound about right for those mods, I would have never guessed you'd get in the 400's with those mods on pump gas. I think you expect too much. Tq could be higher but HP seems about right

He's got an EF3 with a range of bolt ons. Those are stock turbo numbers, mang.

Edit: I can't believe it took me this long to realize who tuned the car .

Pics of the DJ readout would be nice. *EDIT* As others said though take it up with your tuner first - try to be a good customer and you should get good customer service. If that's not the case then I can understand asking for help.

My advise is also to at least express your concerns to the tuner and give him a chance to fix it. Sometimes people are too quick to make threads and/or change tuners, without giving the original tuner a chance to make it right.

Yeah man first step is to communicate. Every time I have had a issue i just tell the shop bammmmm fix it. But I have also seen people with mods go in but other stuff is messed up and they blame the tuner. I would like to hear both sides to this. Good luck on getting what you want bro and hope you accomplish your goals

You haven't been on the forums very long have you...

I would say it probably wouldn't hurt to go back and talk to the original shop. Some additional advice is just to talk to another shop as well. I'm certain if you contact CBRD, he'd be glad to give you some advice about your car, even if you don't end up going to his shop.
