I offered to sell the customer a Forge MBC for $80 to rectify his situation - however he did not have the funds to make the purchase

As his car was dropping 5 psi of boost - falling to 15 psi it was hard for me to gauge how much power the car was making

The customer's recollection of our conversation is very inaccurate and neglects to mention my response to his inquires included a detailed comparison off his data log and g force compared to a very similarly equiped IX evo with a functional MBC as well as a offer to remove the flash installed and refund his money on the spot - an offer he declined

Honestly, I do find it bizzare when customers are fixated on dyno numbers - partciurlay when they have cars with obvious mechanical issues such as in this case

Obviously this customer does not concur with my view points on this subject

My position was and is that it is idiotic to try and estimate whp figures on a car which is not holding boost

I would think it better to spend the $80 on the MBC and get the problem fixed than spend the money on dyno figure which is going to be flawed due to the malfunctioning MBC

You see there is to sides to every story.....

I just hope and pray that if wne when he gets to the dyno that he has finally swaped out the turbo smart MBC he had for the correct Forge unit as holding that extra 3 psi of boost will make a huge difference

The car is tuned very well and should make good power
