Shane is THE best tuner in Minnesota and one of the best nationwide in my opinion. You really need to do a boost leak test, compression test, leak-down test, verify the timing is properly set, and pop the valve cover off to ensure none of the rockers are knocked off.

I would check your timing belt and make sure it didn't jump a tooth... I have a fp black also and am about 465 hp 387 tq on a unfinished tune so far.

youll need a compression tester and some air to test the cylinders.
I read through your thread and sounded like you havent actually done a boost leak test. Do one and see how many leaks you got, t-bolt clamps will leak if not secured completely straight and tightened down enough.

27 PSI is way too much boost for 93 octane.. Plus the Stock evo 9 BOV is only good for 23-25 PSI MAX. Your best bet is to take it into the shop and have them take a closer look. I have seen something like this before where the fuel pump wasn't installed correctly. If you dont put the black rubber seal onto the pump nozzle first, then insert the fuel pump into the fuel pump housing, you will leak fuel. GL

So, the tuner should just go through and fix all his **** when he is just hired to create a map?

I could see it maybe if his shop installed all the parts but, if it's just someone going in to get a tune you can't expect them to go through the car and fix any/all the mechanical issues present. Otherwise it's the owners job to make sure things are right before going in for a tune.
