I'm gonna tak to Nate and see if i can get a retune, i should be making more power with less boost, I'm really not too fond of Al now and i understand what everyone is talking about
Thats what we were talking about with Al....I've never had his tune but I've
read enough of his posts that I wouldn't let him touch my car. As much as I
respect Bushur for what he does for the evo community he is like you said
all about his parts and everything else is crap. Car should still feel pretty strong
though?

Hey guys, i would once again strongly suggest checking out CBRD. He definitely said he'd like to do whatever he can to help out these locals.

As for Al and the other crew, yeah i can only imagine how bad it is to hear your "parts suck"... It would be like building your own house and someone saying it is garbage.

York PA is not that bad of a drive... I am sure if we get a few people we can make a day or weekend trip out of it.

Did you do a proper boost leak test and everything before getting tuned? just asking because a leak can hurt performance severly and when your car isnt doing what its supposed to do, its the first thing you should check. Especially because the more boost you run the worst the leak will get and the worst it will effect your car.....

Several of us guys who got tuned by Al really thought he was a ********. My HKS exhaust sucked, my hallman pro RX sucked because Al only sells the Hallman Pro, not the RX. And Al was just a total ***** all around. He made the car fast, but from what people are saying, my timing is way too agressive. So now, I took Steve's advice and called up CBRD.

And I might ad, that Chad at CBRD was totally straightforward and returned my calls within a day. Called me back exactly when he said he was going to. Professional. Something I'm not used to in the car community. I'm gonna be cruising out to him as soon as my GSC S1's come in. Supposedly they were shipping yesterday, but who knows. It will be real hard to do a group day at CBRD because right now Chad is the only tuner and only has one mechanic in the shop. (From what I was told). Give him a call and find out. Who knows, that would be cool if we all went out around the same time. I think York is worth the trip. If you can drive to Buschur, you can drive to CBRD.
