Oh trust me I am. Today I decided to get on it alittle, did a small pull from third gear and stopped at 7k. Got home and my car started smoking alittle. Its definitely coolant leaking somewhere. I cant check where right now as it is raining/slush and its 12:37 AM. Only problem is I cant take off work anymore and they are in New Jersey and Im on long island, NY. Im going to ask for a refund so It can atleast cover half of my tune and the fixing of the leak. TTR FTL

Cosworths are pretty aggressive. Must be the tune though shouldnt fluctuate like that though.

if you threw a check engine light...it can either be your front o2 sensor or the cam angle sensor most likely...since that is what has been touched...but you better hope it is neither and +1 about you should of gone to ivey... some kid when i was there got tuned 1 week prior by turbotrix and he had to bring his car to ivey to get a new tune because their tune was making his car run like crap

Seriously? Must not be looking very hard...

Car I tuned the other day with just buschur tbe, intake and 02 with the cosi IX cams made 380/400 on a dynojet. Mine was on the same dynojet without o2 and using hf cat and Works drop in filter/tbe. The HKS's arent making crap.

Turbotrix is going to fix my coolant leak this sunday, even though they are closed. As for the tune, they said to just raise my idle with the idle screw. Im not into that so Ive already contacted Mellon about a retune. While im at Turbotrix im going to have him double check over my timing and boostleaks to make sure there isnt a leak causing the bad idle/surge, then go from there. I dont think its a boost leak seeing as Im holding boost just fine and spiking to 25psi.

Ill keep you updated!
Dan
