Ivey FIX my car

A month or so ago i did alot of work to my car. bigger turbo, injectors, aem ems etc. I needed a shop to tune the car so i brought it to a Boston area shop. They tuned it and it ran ok for a few days. (It would break up a little in 1st and 2nd) Then it just started running like really bad. So i brought it back to them and they said the 2 step turned its self on and thats why it was running the way it did. So i trailered the car back home, took it off the trailer and the same thing. I called them and they said its prob the ignition. So i went out and got the Bushar ignition system. Same problem. So i made a appointment and brought the car back to them. They put it back on the dyno and checked it out. The tuner said he couldn't see any problems everything looked fine. He said the ems was bad. So they called aem. It seemed that the ems was corrupting the files that were being sent from the laptop. So again i trailered my car home, this time thinking i had a bad ems. I let the car sit for a day or so, then i hooked my laptop up and sent over a file and it worked fine. So then i was like wtf. So i called Ivey up in NJ and they bring it down. They were able to fit me in the same week that i called, that was a plus.
So i got there they straped the car down on the dyno and within 5 min Sean knew what was wrong with the car. It had a bad map sensor. They put a new one in and the car ran better than ever. It put down almost 500whp & 425tq.

That goes to show how good of a shop Ivey is.

The Boston shop is terrible in my opinoin. Or maybe its just the person who tunes there. Communication is horrible with the tuner. He never returns calls, or emails. But i would never recomend that place. If you need a tune, just make the trip to Ivey!!!!!

Thanks Sean
