which way? Do I need a Telescope ?

No epeen I just seen your dyno. Like I said I don't know much about the 5.0's other then what I seen yours dyno. So what your saying is your car could be sandbagging.... =)

I would call tank at IPS and ask him.

They had time to post 3 dynos but no time to answer my PM or this thread.

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1917993 OMG I fucking laughed my ass off.

That's the thing I'm not bashing anyone. I'm just saying I'm being unfairly portrayed. I guesse I should be flattered. This really would not upset me so much If I had not taken off work to help this guy and spent allot of time just helping this kid out. Ryan218 your right on man. I think its funny I don't even run a shop and I get cheap shots taken at me. Slomo has lost customers over this thread. I have no customers to lose I just have pride, and I take allot of pride in my work. Look I was even trying to buy a FMIC setup from them. If it worked out at least 1 other bug eye was going to go with one.

I'm not sure honestly I sent them a PM asking for info about it and to see the logs. Look at the intial spike on the dyno of "My Tune". That is indicative of a fucked up BCS. I'm trying to get ahold of grant myself so I can ask him about it and to ask him if they charged him for anything beyond a basic tune.

Thats awesome. Don't answer me then. Your the one who called me on the side of the road after you "Worked" on his car. - I bailed your ass out plain and simple and you know it. I'm not sure why you would do that to me. He paid you to work on his car too. I don't rember you giving me cash for helping you.

There are a total of like 4 Subaru Tuners in columbus. 3 posts in people were asking who the tuner was and offers were made to answer that. Tuners who tune more then just there cars. Eric @ ATS Bill @ me helping people out. Cory/shrek @ Slomo Willaty @ TiC / NA subaru tuner Meade isn't really around any more.

Some of the first questions where about who tuned it along with people offering up to tell who it was. Again I learned to never help someone out, I should have left the car sitting on the side of the road instead of leaving work early to help out. I really think I'm being nice here. All things considered. I'm not trashing the shop, I'm not insulting the tune/dyno#'s . I'm not even attacking the shop, I'm just asking for proof which i think is fair. I would do the same if the roles where reversed.

I remember my divorce party. well part of it

Yup scott, I was kinda backed into a corner and the poor kid was the true victim in this entire ordeal. Lesson learned Don't help people out of kindness, Even if means he can't drive his car at all.

I've got my before dyno already. I might have to try this out. Crossle think you cccould help me do it. I'm nervous I will fuck somethign up.

BTW I wonder if they replaced the Leaking Uppipe. To my recollection the car had a leaking uppipe and the bendy piece. It was very small. I'm looking through out look and stuff trying to find his number. I would like to txt him and at the very least ask him when the car started acting up.

The piece non subaru people are not seeing is that a stock turbo WRX with 0 mods makes almost the same power. I edited allot of posts to clean up the way I presented things to make them more mature. I'm just frustrated and since there are only a handful of subaru tuners in columbus it would be easy to figure out who worked on the car. I am trying to be as tactful as I can, I'm doing my best to not bash slomo as I've never had a issue with them and bought things from them in the past when IPS did not have the parts I needed. Cliffs 1. Slomo posts some dynos showing a HUGE gain 2. I see the posts and decide to investigate. 3. I found out I worked on the car and it was a car that I had a lot of time in. 4. I ask for an explanation and I'm ignored. 5. I post up the map(FROM grants car as I save all maps) and dyno of a car running a similar with similar timing/fuel targets. If slomo feels this is the best way to present there data so be it. They know and I know something is afoul here and it is in there best intreast to not go into what the deal is. I'm not here to have a pissing contest on who the better tuner is. Cory has done lots of hondas that run great.

When I tuned it Up / Down Catback EWG Vf39 Modded injectors and a wal255lph. Thats it, I honestly think it had a BCS issue which would explain the problems but I don't know it took a year later before this problem was brought up. He drove it I road with him around on the street on the freeway wot and standard driving. 1. BCS 2. Leak 3. IAM @ 12 after ecu reset/pulling map (I would do this first if I was tuning the car) I pmed them asking about logs and why they put the halman on. They ignored me asking about logs and just told me they like the halman over stock control. For drivablity a properly tuned BCS gives you way better control to avoid partial throttle full boost, They've tuned other cars using the Stock BCS. The only time I would switch to a MBC is. 1. BCS dead or acting up. This happens allot in my experiance 2. Need more boost 3. Requested by the owner of the car In Reality this was nothing more then Marketing Fluff to make there selves look awesome. I posted my MAP up for review by everyone thought not many people on here do subarus. Anyone who knows how to tune or have experiance in it know that a MAP does not just stop working. Rob said it did not run well after he was done working on the car which during that time the battery was disconnected. I always tune other peoples cars with safety in mind hence starting the IAM @ 12 and forcing the car to learn. Like I said a reset before dynoing would have totally screwed it up and severly retarded the timing. Quick summary of subarus Knock control. IAM on a subaru is a multiplyer for deciding how much timing to use out of the Kc table on top of the base map. A car should be @ a iam of 16 for any dyno pulle and normally when tuning on the dyno you lock the map at 16. A IAM of 12 would mean that the KC table would not be running its full value. So any dyno pull like that would result in really bad results.

DIVORCE PARTY!

So does anyone familiar with this want to help me out

Zach I thought I had asked before and did not see it You = epic win ! I'm going to try it out since I need a oil change.

Yeah I searched and I was just still unsure. Figured would ask. We almost need a stickied spot of all the popular tech threads. Is it really that legit? I'm trying to find some before and after dynos and cant seem to.

Has anyone here used it? Anyone tested dyno before and after to see if there was a difference? My engine just recently turned over 100k and I was thinking about using this product but I can't figure out if its good or just marketing BS.

That explosion was AWESOME

Thanks for chiming in kevin. I know the car may have been mild but it sure would have made more the 180. But with out logs its hard to know. He could post his map and show how much of a problem I had. If its that big of a change his map would have major changes above mine. If they want to sit back and say it was JUST a tune then what ever. I know how much time I had in the car, I know how the car was when it left my hands. I'm not going to go any further, If slomo wants to not post the logs or give an explanation that's fine.

Last time I talked to the kid was last year... shit was cool then so I'm just curious what happened. It bugs the piss out of me. I don't discount it drove like piss when you recieved it I trust robs judgment but when I talked to him last he said it was good but that was last year, The kid had my number. Since they changed it to a MBC. I'm betting that the car had problems with the BCS which would explain bucking and such. Myself and Kevin can both attest to that as we had him driving the car around after I had finished that day. Descent numbers thought.
