Al did not say the engine isn't working right. He said that is one of the possibilities, but that there was on way to tell at that point. If there was no knock and the timing/AF/HP/TQ curves were very well tuned, then what reason would he have to "detune" it with a new flash? I don't understand how this is Al's responsibility or even why he should do it to begin with when he has no conclusive evidence that it is necessary. This started with you attacking Al's semantics, when the rest of us understood what he meant, and now you're downgraded your attack to asking why a businessmen won't provide a free detune without any empirical evidence to suggest doing it...

I didn't even bother to quote you because I hope it will soon be gone.

The car was obviously not a danger as evidenced by the very nice and smooth tq curve and a/f curve. 11.4 / 1 is hardly dangerous tuning.
It is what it is - I posted the data to share info - it was tuned elsehwere and wrenched elsewhere - the sheet speaks for itself. All i can offer is to verfiy that the sheet is accurate and the data is accurate. Regretably I can not verify the condition of the vehicle.
I had another previously set up appointment to tune a WRX after this car and I could not personally do the boost leak and compression test at that time.

But, sometimes Phillip gets sidetracked and misses the forest because of the trees.

Obviously this thread has gone far off track. It all started when i was wondering my my posts (and numerous others) were deleted when Al said one thing and then changed it after. If anyone has any questions please pm me.

Hey Al can you comment on the Power gains from this setup using an EMS , while reflashers are not making nearly the power?

Basically this customer was "concerned" that his tuner may have left him with a bad tune and he wasked me to take a look see.
I was happy to report that the tuner had done a fine job on his car - although a bit more agressive than I may prefer.
However - there was some "REASON" why his car was weak and stock like turbo in power :
A - Mechaical issue
B - Turbo sucks
Sadly - we did not have time to check A today.
Solution - get A checked out
Thanks for taking your time on this

.
P.S. Widebandphillip was dead on with his posts, Al did say the tune was perfect then says it was agressive. Also with almost 8,000 posts how the Hell do you find the time to wrench on cars.

Did you know that I do 100% of the wrenching work on my own Dyno Flash Evo 8 including putting the current engine together with my on two hands. I do boost leak tests and compression tests on my car on a weekly basis - I think i could have handled it if I had the time.
There is not one part of the evo I have not worked on in the past two years and change.
The reality is that at Pruven I do my reflash tuning and Pruven does fabrication, mechanical work and installs.
At 6:00 p.m. the work day is ending so people who work there can go home - it is not time to take on diagnostic investigations.
The customer could have eacily set up an appointment for testing at a future date.

Talk about excuses, come on you were on the WR post crying to tune one of these. You get youre hands on a car that TT flashed and you automatically want to talk bad about their flash, then you change your opinion when someone calls you out.

LPBevoEVo will dyno his flashed car on the 30th and we'll have more results. He was also very happy with the improvement from the WR.

I don't think anyone can draw any conclusions about this turbo from what we saw today as the car in question may have had mechanical issues.
