I would be careful about posting about that when you have a blown motor you are going to try and warrenty.
lurks in these forums. They even paid tribute to Mark Modaressi @ the owners day in Normal IL this summer
make sure you dont have any personal info in your profile that could tell them where you live, color, year ect. just to be safe.

edit:
I just read your other post and it does look like it shouldnt be related to the tune, I would still stay out of the lean range til you can get it custom flashed, once you get your car back that is

So you think if the car was stock it would have blown?? I wonder how many stock evo blows. Unfortunately, when you mod, there is always a risk of damaging something. Not saying they never come defective stock. I play, but will pay if it turns out that way.

no clue. depends if it was the flash, or if it was a faulty OEM part. tearing the block down might help to see, but that's up to

The tires are hankook winter tires, not much they could complain about there.. They're barely below 90% tread..

From what Al has posted, the flash IS detectable on the 05s. Get it put back to stock.

With something as major as a blown engine, I would send your ECU back to Al and have him flash it back to stock. I would assume that would really check your car over on this one.
