picking up the car in the morning, it was tune 304whp @ 14psi
but there is problems with the microtech harness so nelson didn't want to push it. I will be doing more upgrades t04 heat blanket,add downpipe heat wraps, ect. plus replacing the old microtech harness+sensor for a new one. and take it back in about 1-2months so I can get that extra power... I will post graph when I get it tomorrow.

lets see what type of damage it did in the morning, rotor is done since CHP had me drive the car across the freeway to the right lane, need to check control arm, bushings, and coilovers. also will swap to my enkie rims, and work on small details and give it shower.

talk to my peep Eddy and he hooking me up with some EBC yellow pads and drill and cross slotted rotors should have them by november or when I sell the extra parts I got.

a story I forgot to tell when the car was tuned, couple of things.
when I dropped the car to Nelson@RRR to get it tuned, I had them make a custom bracket for turbo actuator. I was charged 4hours of tuning because the microtec was not reading the water temperature, they replaced the temp sensor a couple of times and nothing(found out a cable was cut when I installed the secondary injectors) anyways he tuned the best he could. This is the graph. the turbo was rebuilt by RRR and upgraded to T04 housing, ect.

after I pick up the car he tells me to get the west gate ported. I paid the 4hours of tuning(he claims he worked on it for 13hours) plus labor of installing the turbo actuator.

after fixing the water temp problem, I pulled out the turbo and took it to Juni@JRX to get it ported. I got a call from him telling me if the car was tuned the way the turbo was set up, I said yes, Then he asked me to go down to his shop to check it out. The Actuator was installed wrong and had the west gate open at ALL TIMES!, don't know how Nelson was able to tuned it without being able to build pressure, maybe he ran the **** of it. The way the actuator bracket was installed the west gate couldn't closed so I had Juni make a new bracket with adjuster, Love the way it came out by the way and also got the biggest westgate port this turbo can get.
Anyways I never called Nelson@RRR to ask him for answers, partly it was my fault for dropping the car and not waited to see him tuning it, and if I saw those problems with in the 1st hour I would had called it quits and take the car home to fix the problems. I just wish I was called after the 1st hour and not supposedly 5hours into the tuned....



anyways the car runs and drives but its too rich and I can't seem to able to pass 6500rpm.

I would at least humbly mention it to him about the wastegate stuck open. Also, you never noticed at all it was that way?

The first given would be the BOV not working, and it would have started a stream of isolation troubleshooting to find out why such situation, and possibly find the open wastegate.

About the wheel, it almost happened to me once, I would hear a click click and thought it was a broken axle, get out and the wheel nuts were barely holding everything together.

also you see, the blow off valve was also bought from the tuning shop and installed there because my blow off valve had a 7psi spring and this one is a 14psi spring so when I picked up the car I had no idea the type of sound, if it made any, will sound.
