I remember hearing Al's name when I wanted an Evo but couldn't afford one.
Things change. Where is he blowing up WRX's. My wife is on the those forums a bit and hasn't heard of him. LOL.

He's definitely still out there exploding cars. He's on NASIOC as I recall offering "Bro Tunes". He's apparently still trusted by people in that community, which is funny considering what a joke he is here.
ask yourself if you would want a motor that needs a damn air/oil seperator just to run right, spins bearings with no problem, cracks its pistons when you raise the boost a teenie bit, and blows its headgaskets on a regular basis. who would? only a sti owner would.
Al was a pretty good friend of mine until I sent a teammate of mine from Iraq to him to have his STI tuned. He drove 6 hours each way to have his car tuned, paid $500 the first time and $200 the second, and it ran like crap. He drove there twice to have it tuned and to fix the previous tune and Al charged him twice...the tune was never fixed. Needless to say I took my brother in arms side.

I was a bit stunned at first wondering if he did something super special to run 11s then i saw the date an was like daaaamn son! I was still a little kid at that time!!
From what you all say Al seems like he pissed you all off with his ****ery.

Of course I've met my fair share that have good heads on their shoulders... most of which now own evos lol
I remember when I ended up there after being kicked out from EFI Tuning as my tuner was Conflict of Interest to Chris @ EFI Tuning so we limped to the shop where Al resided (can't recall the name, it was in CT not too far from EFI Tuning). At least they didn't kick us out, but Al was a douche, wouldn't let us peek in the garage and then when they did boost leak test he'd say that my motor is bad and he can take it out for $1600, my tuner Mike @ Innovative just shook his head and told me my engine is fine and not to fall for Al's shenanigans.
That same engine after Mike finished tuning, ran HPDE's and made 500whp for almost 2 years until I sold it.

AL is a joke. "This is years ago like 2008 ish."
