I used a different wideband (AEM vs. his Innovative) to look at my A/F's a month back and I was running off the scales rich as soon as boost hit (<11.0). While I'm glad that my car isn't running dangerously lean like his, I'm a bit displeased that I'm running so rich - my car could have been tuned for more power while still being safe.

As few days of driving it on the street revealed a slew of problems with knocking in almost every gear. I called them to ask what they were going to do for me and they said, "Well, can you turn your boost down?" (I was boosting 22-23 psi.. stock STi turby's are only efficient up to like 19psi) I told them that I didn't pay $350 and drive 3 hours to have to turn the boost down myself, to which they responded, "well, it's hard for me to turn your boost down from New Jersey, guy."

Gee, thanks Turbo Trix.. I'm going to get tuned at KTR within the next couple weeks.

Recently I installed a wideband and found the car to be running dangerously lean- low/mid 12s at WOT. There was no road test after the tune and the car was 'done' after only ~4 pulls on the dyno. Previously I had been flashed by Al and was very impressed. Ill be giving him a call in the next few weeks for a retune.

I dont tune to low 12's .. so either my wideband was off at the time or your new one is. Would of been an easy fix, had you called, or pm'd with your concern. I replace those sensors about 3x's a week.. Im sure al will take care of you for your retune.. Good luck

P.S. Since i run your secondary fuel mapping very rich.. Your dangerous condition.. that you say you had .. would of yielded a 10.0 afr .. had your car knocked..

Ive tried all types of gas and the readings stay the same. Only 93 around here.
