I'm sorry that you felt unwelcome. You weren't. If you had talked to me, I think you would have seen that. Eric did everything he could because he's a nice guy. I gave him a list of things to look at with the scan tool while I was busy with my scheduled appointments. He didn't have to do this. He was just trying to troubleshoot things while i was tied up on the dyno. I don't know about the significance of the "small chat" you are referring to, or that your lended tools to someone else.

All I know is that if you had waited until a break in the schedule, you would have gotten my full attention... just like everyone else. I was surpised that you left before even talking to me. And with regards to your PM, I was not able to juggle the schedule around to fit you in as soon as you arrived. We were all guests of Turbotrix and everyone had to be taken car of equally and fairly.

If anyone wants to continue the Vishnu Dyno Day discussions, I welcome you all to the following thread:

Just to summarize:

By Al's own admission, he didn't make any more power, he didn't significantly improve spool, and rather than troubleshooting the alleged problem with the customer's piggyback, he scrapped it and put in his own reflash which will need continual replacement - for example, when Az3ar scraps the ATP turbo for something built to better tolerances.

Now why was this even worth posting up, except to indulge some childish tuner vs. tuner bloodthirst?

See this thread for what it is.

 

I dont think this was a tuner vs. tuner debate. I think it was to show how company A can correct a problem. Thats all. Its to inform anyone who has problems with their car that it can be fixed. If the car came into your shop dynoing like it was and you fixed it, would you keep it to yourself? You wouldn't want to let people know what your capable of, so you can continue and grow your business?

Az3ar is really a special kind of guy and conducts himself with a very respectful manner. Also, he is very lucky to have a really cool wife who also enjoys his evo hobby. Its a pleasure to be of service to him.

 

The root of this problem stems from Georgia. Although I cannot judge how much time you need on a car, I know for a fact that you spent - at most - 1/2 of the time on my car, than you spent on the others. My car wasn't even driven by you. If you drove it, you may have felt the problem right then and I wouldn't have had to drive to N.J. in the first place. You were very insistent that it was a boost leak even after I assured you it wasn't. My car was boosting fine and your lack of trust and "new information" made me second guess your loyalty to me as a customer.

No hard feelings now and good luck to all of us. I wish you the best.

 

The girl in the white was special today . it was pleasure dealing with you and Pruven

 

Damn, consider yourself REAL lucky on that second part. My wife hates my car and my hobby. LOL

I need to trade one of them in, wonder which one it will be????

 

lol, She is nice front of you guys. However, she kills me at home


yada yada bla bla yda turbo S2000 money... Hony do you know how much money you spent BLA bla bla...

 

Yeah, mine gets mad at first, then gives me the guilt trip.

"we need new bedroom furniture, i want a new couch, i never spend any money while you dump money into that stupid UGLY car"

 

Same here. I am happy with the 340WHP for now no more money on that crap for some time

 

You're reaching.

But since you brought it, what capability was actually demonstrated here, apart from the "capability" to convince the customer to throw away an expensive piggyback without trying to figure out what might have been actually wrong with it or the tune?

Surely an AEM certified tuner could troubleshoot a little timing or fuel problem with a piggyback or tune? Or is that more than Al was willing to do ... for free?

We'll never know the whole story but we've learned that if you're a dissatisfied customer of the competition, you get the red carpet treatment, so long as you are willing to sweep the details under the same red carpet.

 

Sounds like everyone who is serius about power and driveability need to set up and appointment with a tuner rather than going to crowded "dyno days" Personally, I take my car to AMS for a custom tune everytime I get any mod. I know that for the AEM EMS Martin takes cars out for 6 hours to correctly tune them. I know its lot more money, but well worth it in my opinion.

 

Good thing Al comes to ATL on a frequent basis, as he was here last month doing a bunch of custom dyno tunes which all showed great gains and will be back in ATL again on May 7th. We are hoping to make this a regular thing having him come to ATL every few months as he has a huge customer base down here and we enjoy having him here.
I personally have seen Al work and have never met anyone with such a huge passion for what he does. Good job and glad you're finally happy with your car.

 

Are you talking about the same guy?

I don’t know if I know in person or not but I don’t like sweeping things under the carpet. People know me and they know that I am honest guy. I was waiting for the cell light to pop up on the way back home (hoping it was not the tune) sadly it was. If the cell came on I would have realized that it's my car (hardware) that is causing the issue, sadly it was the tune. Again, this thread is not here to prove that Shiv can tune or not this thread is here for customer satisfaction.

BTW nothing was free today. I paied the full $400 tune time. Dan can post and scan the charges on my CC.


I will leave it to that and for more details please PM me

Thanks
