It's been 14 days and I still haven't heard anything about the rev limit from you, Al.

Getting put off by someone gets old after a while...
I think the fact that Al has not responded to your post for the last two weeks means that it was overlooked but it would be a lot easier if he just answered the question.

I don't know, but It would require 2 S-AFCs since it has 2 MAFs.

No, Al has responded in this thread and has viewed it and it would take him 30 seconds to answer the question, whereis an email would waste more time for both partites.

And good lord Al, someone with your history on this forum shouldn't be providing any lessons on morality or judgements of mental health. How can you not be overwhelmed by the stench of your own hypocracy? I think the best thing for you to do at this point is to take a few steps back and find out if I actually tuned that WRX. Because his name is not in our computer database. Nor do I recall ever going anywhere near Ohio to tune any WRXs. But stranger things have happened so I'm certainly not saying that I couldn't have tuned it.

And furthermore, it would be nice to see what/who made him change his mind from this (3 weeks ago on the WRX forum):


to this (in this thread):


I have no doubts in my mind that, like everyone else, I have made mistakes in the past. With regards to tuning or otherwise. But instead of throwing mud blindly and seeing what sticks, try to be a little be more fair to the readers on this forum. But saying that to someone with your illustrious evom history (ie. posting as "Evoitis1" to sling mud at other tuners, attack other shop products and --my favorite-- to give reviews of your own products/services!), that suggestion may be wasted.

-shiv
I have not made one comment on here regarding your tuning or the results on this car

I really don't care about Subarus what so ever and I am not really interetsed in this particular one but you can be rest assured that when I get out there I will produce a very detailed and comprehensive elavluation of the situation with that car

In 9 out of 10 cases of the people who constantly defend you and your services and attacking myself - they either have an Xede or some other product supplied by your company - hence "Vishnuites"

You know what else is funny? My original comment (before you said DB was going to fix things) was directed at all of the tuners participating in this argument/debate/discussion. Not specifically at you, Al.

As Shiv pointed out, not everyone you believe is "on his side" even owns any Vishnu parts. I do not even drive an Evo, nor a WRX and Shiv makes no parts or services for either of the cars I drive, which you can see just to the left of all my posts.

I have no vested interest in either side.

And my original point is still clear; given all the time spent in this thread attempting to defend each of your respective reputations, one of you, any one of you, could have re-tuned the car for free, or at least at cost so that no-one here profits off this obvious misfortune.

Now, if no one here wants to do it for free, that's fine. Perhaps the customer has lied to everyone here? But, if it's your reputations you're all attempting to bolster, you'll find that offering your free time as a tuner is far more effective than debating things on Evom.

The comment posted above was made BEFORE Dyno Flash even existed or had flashed ONE ECU

Sept 11, 2003 was when it was made

At that point Dyno Flash was a partnership invloving other parties and I was going to have my car flashed as the first one

The main reason why I did not post under my actual screen name at the time was becuase I knew if Shiv found out that I was having anything to do with Dyno Flash before we got our hands on the equipment and started as vendors here he would try and prevent it from occuring

It was a mistake for me to have used the Evoitis1 sceen name - however - at the time I had specific reasons for my actions

The facts are that Dyno Flash was not incorporated at that time, we did not have any flashing machine then and we had not started doing any business at the time.

Of course Shiv somehow thinks this is all relevant to the issue of the tuning of the particular WRX which is the subject of this thread

It is a familar pattern

I have not even posted one bad word here about SHiv's tuning or accused him of anything

It was Mr. Bushcur who posted his feelings

Yet - Shiv's response is to bring out a lot of mud slinging and accusations against MYSELF to change the subject from a discussion about his tuning and try and generate a huge pissing contest so the thread will get locked

This pattern of behavior has occured time and time again

Now it is my cue to throw some dirt at Shiv - but i wont becuase I dont want the thread to get locked

Lets try and keep this dicussion ON TOPIC and stay on point

accusations and insults should be directed BY PM or email or on a seperate thread

Again - I feel its and irrelevant

I don't tune ANYONE for free

I hear of many opf my customers being offered free tuning services by other tuners in an effort to try and make more power on the dyno and claim some bragging rights

Frankly I am way to busy to waste my time with such antics

As i have said before - I get customers from other tuners every week - in some cases all week long

IF I tuned them all for free I would be evicted from my home in short order

I tune 95% Evos - Subaru is a very narrow business for me and I don't have great interest in tuning them

In this case if the customer in question has made arrangements with Mr. Buschur I am sure I will help out as much as possible and given that I was one of the first pioneers of WRX tuning in the US back in 2001 and 2002 I am sure that i will be able to properly diagnose any problems that exist

It is of course always possible that the problems in the car may be totally unrelated to the tuning itself and may be mechanical

HOWEVER - for those following - Mr. Buschur is one of the best if not the best tuners in the entire country if not the world and IF HE SAYS the tune sucks - I am fairly confident that in fact the tune does suck. There is not much that I do that Mr. Buschur has not done already and what he has been already doing long before more of the readers here got a driver's licesnse.

Honestly, I forgot to get back in touch with that guy. I have been traveling nearly every day since Jan 1 and have been tuning every day since then and I just forgot to respond.

However - I did send the guy a PM when I saw his post

I really feel such matters should be handled by PM as they are off topic


BUT - for those taking the time to read throgh all this diatribe

The crisis handling strategy of the Vishnu camp is to try and throw this thread with as many comments and attacks against myself as possible to obviscate and avoid dealing with the original topic and try and put the attackers on the defensive

After seeing this done dozens of times over the past few years it is a very predictable pattern

You got some cajones... i gotta hand it to you.

Here's some other great quotes from you... er Evoitis:
I am going with www.dynoflash.com

They did a black evo that is going to the Ultimate Street Car Challenge. I think they custom tune each car on the dyno, and it is all included for only $450.00. I was told they will be doing customer evos in about two weeks.
-sept 11 '03

Dynoflash stage 0 inlcudes up to two hours of awd dynojet dyno time and custom tuning for the same price as the Works through the mail flash? Either dynoflash is charging too little . . . . or?
-- oct 24 '03 talking about Works' ECU.

How do you like this Big Al dyno sheet from today - its his new Stage Zero Plus - very lumpy and lean eh?

- nov 03 '03 in our vendor forum trying to demonstrate about what a good tuner Al.. er... you were at the time.

There's a lot more Al. And if you really expect us to believe that you set up that bogus account so I couldn't interfer with you getting a Techtom machine (which you already had ), you need a serious reality check.

As for being off topic, this thread was never on-topic. I don't see why it is so hard to confirm that I actually tuned that car. Did I or didn't I? Can't you or DB just ask the owner where/when I supposedly tuned the car?

...It's like extracting teeth somes times. But without the joy of laughing gas.

Actually, just to clarify, I think that is what's called arrogance. Having to apologize would mean admiting a mistake, and that would mean admiting they're flawed. Very difficult (or near impossible) for them to do.

Sociopaths, on the other hand, are a little more extreme. Think Charles Manson or Jim Jones. Beyond the inability for remorse, they're manipulative, pathological liers, glib and charming, etc.

Hope that clears things up. Now back to our regularly scheduled intra-vendor bashing

You'll never know because they wouldn't tell you if they did. Reason being:

1. They tell you who it is. You can then contact the customer and resolve the situation. Customer is happy. Al and DB end up looking silly.

2. They tell you who it is. You can then contact the customer and find out the customer tuned the car himself or by a third party. Al and DB end up looking silly.

3. If they don't tell you, then speculation runs wild (it has Vishnu parts so it must be Vishnu tuned). Al and DB show EVOm their superior tuning ability over Shiv even though the car was never tuned by Shiv
