Judge the tune, not the messanger....

very nice package, just need someone to help me tune it who has more knowledge with ecutek flashings than i do.

to keep with my sleeper look...
the stock canister tip is welded onto the 3" turbo back exhaust... shouldnt hurt performance at all since the weld is so far back away (yes i know, no back pressure is wanted, it is very little though)... do you think it could/would cause stress on the turbo or other problems? i am running the vishnu stage 2 setup, so it is the vf34 turbo..
also, i am looking for an ecutek tune shop, anyone recommend anyone? i live in ohio... i am debating on doing minor tuning myself with the program software, but wanted some advice first perhaps some help.

It's obviously not tuned by Shiv. If anyone tuned it, its himself.
Looks like you messed up Dave. And good luck Tuning it Al. I hope you make
the most power you can since the power you make will reflect the potential
of the Vishnu system. And its not Shiv's tuning vs. Al's, Its more like
Al tuning A vishnu stage 2. lol. Also if he added that exhaust, it could have also messed with the tune he downloaded.
Also, WRXgasm, all your posts on that site, you rave about the Vishnu Stage 2, and how your beating Sti's and everything, but here you act like you never liked the kit. You have some explaining to do to everyone here and to Shiv after you discredited him like that. Not only that you owe an apology to David Buschurd, since you made him to look like a clown by believing your stories.
Shiv, its obvious you didn't custom tune that car. Here's a way to get into contact with him.

Vishnu is one of the best WRX tuners in the Nation. The reflash is great (about 20-25 honest HP) but an upipe (unless yours is an 06) and downpipe really free up some serious HP.

Welded a stock tiny tip on the end of a 3" exhaust? Isn't that like running a silencer? I'm completely confused.
Dave-- please ask Andrew call or PM me so we can find out what exactly his is running and who exactly tuned it.

honestly before you jump to conclusions it doesnt say that the kid ecutek tuned the car himself is says they ecutek tuned the car then he needs someone who knows more about it than he does so it could go either way. Who really cares though.... either way a car can be tuned and 100% then something goes wrong with the car and the tune is effected big deal thats not the tuners fault which is what MR Buschur is trying to point out.

I assume you will blame the poor dyno sheet posted by Dave as 100% bad tuning and find nothing mechanically wrong with the car.

Ahhh! My eyes!

Throw a few more commas and a bit of punctuation in there, and some others may agree with you.

The customer that owns the car is very unhappy with the car and is coming back next week for a re-tune from Al. I will also post up the before/after sheets.

He only started hating his car when he found of the dyno results. He probably has a base flash or one he downloaded off the internet. Dave's the one who stated that Shiv tuned it, Quoted above.

I tune cars each and every day that have been tuned by other tuners - some have been tuned great some suck.
You don't see me on here trash talking about this tuner's work or that tuners work - I dont care. Seriously, I have decided a long time ago to let my work dfo the talking which is why I just do my job the best I can and retune the cars that have problems. Its so frequent that cars come here with problems its not a major event.
I am posting on here simply to point out how ironic it is that jhe cars just two weeks ago Shiv was blasting my tuning and David's parts - taking David's parts off a customer's cars as some "ill fitting" garbage and retuning a car and making all this extra power and how great he is.
Now two weeks later apparently we have a customer with all Vishnu parts and tuning and apparently the customer is not very happy.
I am saying before anyone points any fingers or blames anyone for posting this stuff keep in mind of the huge DRAMA created by Shiv two weeks ago when some poor customer had a aboost leak test.
It really pissed me off when Shiv made his comments which I have quoted above - i found them very offensive and I think its funny how karma has brought this foul stench right back to his door that he sent my way two weeks ago.

Shiv didn't tune this car, its just using Vishnu parts. You should know as anyone that the power lies in the tune. It's on you to prove that shiv tuned the car since you guys brought up the alligation. We know his name. We know that Shiv does not have his tune in his dyno database because he didnt do it. We know he was looking for a proper tune because he didn't have one.
Please don't use your famous super special move of flame throwing to get this topic closed. Or better yet, save some face and just admit that you jumped to the conclusion that Shiv tuned it, or that WRXgasm had it mixed up thinking his mail in flash was a custom tune.
Dude, get off the boost leak excuse. Shiv has already proven that wrong several times by now. Your offically known at the kid who cried boost leak now on these forums, and just like the kid who cried wolf, no one is going to believe that excuse when it actually comes a reality for you.
The boost leak excuse is a reality for WRXgasm. We don't know who installed the kit. Look at how many people on this forum are having leaks just from installing intakes. There could have been a flaw in the install. He's also using a 3 inch tbe welded to a STOCK can. Come on now.
Unlike your situation the car came to you, with all those parts on it, and you tuned it. Meaning when you did tune it there was no leak, and at that time, the install was good, unless your ignorant enough to tune a car with a boost leak and not notice it.

. Lets back off the guy with the problems with the car and find out what exactly happened before assigning blame.



, you wax positively eloquent. I cannot wait to read your further pellucid and cogent discourse
