Help Power Loss After Powerfc Install

[FATGTS-R]

You mentioned same day same dyno so I have no idea how the tuner felt he was able to give your car back in that state.

You have nothing to worry about going back to them.

Plug the stock ecu in and go for a drive with them and then plug in the $1,000 tuned PFC and drive again. If its as bad as you say then you wont need to say a word. Get him to bring his wideband along as that will have a story to tell as well.

And why would he do the base run in third and final tune run in 4th?

Just dont fiddle with any settings and contact them asap, like be there with the car first thing in the morning. If you have to work then call them up first thing to let them know and arrange a time.

thats crazy man. take it back and get them to fix it properly otherwise you could destroy your engine

If the tunning shop does not replaced there air/fuel sensor regulary it gives a bad feed back, They are only good for a certin amount of work.

Sounds like it is running to rich, they may not have set the AFM correctly but for that price it should be better than sweet!

if payed a $1k for a tune and its as bad as that id punch the tuner in the head. If he had any pride watsoever in his work it wouldnt of ever left the workshop in that state.

i found shit loads of power

went through all the map and it looks ok

changed some timing cells drove it today

went ok still shitty idle, but better

installed a boost controller tonite

would not idle or rev and missed

at idle it was reading 3/4 load

took out the o2 sensor tested all good

when putting it back in i noticed the wires

on the car loom side were all exposed

repaired the plug and its a diff car heaps of boost

loads in the right spot now i just have to clean my

plug s :-)

back to the dyno

Oowch... and they couldn't work that out for you for $1k? Don't take it back until your 100% happy and don't give them another cent.. bastards...

after my play with it it ran 157.3

the tuner had another go at it he

was a little pissed/embarrassed

all up i got 168.9 on standard boost

still a little low but better than 145

[fEkuaR]

is it a nice linear power curve now?

[juls33]

nice curve now a little kick at 110 where boost flat lines for a bit

nice straight line for arfs too 13.2 down to 12 wot
