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.

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.

Anger management classes not working then.....lol

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

back off to the tuner today just droped her off

he still thinks there not much he can do hes going to check it again and

give me a read out

probs i found

wiring exposed on o2 sensor

fouled plugs regaped to .8

afm dirty

tps slightly out of range

faulty boost soleniod wouldnt go above 4psi

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
