I've used Extensive Wheel Services a few times and have always been impressed with the results. Best thing is if you go over the road and get a quote from Adelaide wheel and rim, EWS will beat it

I have always used Extensive Wheel Service and highly recommend them. I took a set of wheels to Adelaide Rims and the bloke there tried to sell me a second hand set they had in the workshop. Didn't like that at all, so I went across the road and was extremely happy with the service and the cost that they managed to get the repair done under :D

Extensive do a better job and are cheaper. I used to work at a tyre joint and used Adelaide Wheel and Rim for damaged wheels, until we got sick of getting wheels back still buckled and have dodge welds. Switched over to extensive and never had an issue.

Also went to both for a quote on getting a rim rolled and re annodised. Adelaide wanted more money and told me "the rim is chrome, we have to cut the center out and chrome dip, the re weld it." went to extensive, got the rolling done cheaper and he annodised the lip for free.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
