Akuma Motorsports-FWIW.beware
Well if he wanted a compression test done then he should have specified that before anything got done. That's his problem,shops don't do services for free..because if the compression test would have come back good then this thread would be accusing akuma of doing services that he never asked for and that they were looking for stuff to sell him. Don't get mad at the shop for doing what you asked for.

So you would have been happy with the extra service charges or where you gonna expect that free of charge if your engine wasn't "blown". It's also common sense to tell a shop what you want done because we don't all read minds like you or expect free work to be done. Last time I checked if u go in for an oil change or any work at any shop they do only what was approved by the customer, just so u know techs don't like working for free, keep that in mind when u go to another shop

And no a "professional shop" would have expected you would have enough brains to have done a boost leak test and a compression test to begin with. Other then that why would you bring a car to them you yourself knew was messed up. Sure to have the shop blow it up and try to do the same ****. I am sure you didn't know your car had issues, but this "common since" you keep referring to isn't there because you ****ed up A) took it to another shop B) failed to show any eveidence that Akuma had done something wrong 3) Have the other shop tell you the motor is fine and then rebuild your motor for whatever reason. Can anyone show me where this "common since" is? If you were to assume Akuma messed it up wouldn't common since say to show them the things you acuse them of so something could be done? Maybe your not that smart and the other shop told you not to being you seem to trust them.
Cursedsm, do you expect every person that owns an evo to be a mechanic? From my experiance of reading in the forum, there are many Evo owners that do not wrench on their own cars, they go to people like this. With that said, I dont know anything about this shop, the guy bought this from this guys shop, an fp black turbo, a front mount, injectors and some other stuff was that free, he paid to have them installed, was that for free too? where do you come off saying that he should get a free compression check for just a tune. When you go to a performance shop to have your car built, you guys really feel that the shop has absolutly no responsablity to check what they are working with? If some on was spending 2000, 3000, 4000, **** even 1000 dollars where my labor in included in the price, I would sacrifice 100 bucks of time, and thats being very generous for a compression test, it shouldn't cost more than 50 bucks for 1/2hr of time, if the car fails the basic test you give him is options to pay for the test or allow them to repair the motor and proceed with the Mods, thats how avoid this kind of mess. No one said do anything for free. I guess this is just a waste of time trying to explain something to people that really just can't grasp the concept of GOOD BUSINESS ETHICS!
Giod your a ****in idiot. After the damage is already done? Really? Maybe becaues you brought him a pos to begin with, he was honest with you and said he didn't feel that there was something right, and it is his fault because he did the right thing by not tuning anymore? Then on top of that you go to another shop, they rebuild your motor after they tell you that its already fine? Then you tell everyone you don't know much about the cars to begin with. So let me get this straight Akuma is the bad shop for doing the right thing, you take it to another shop and basically they *** raped you for a new motor being it was good supposedly when they checked it out, then Akuma is the bad shop?
Ok so after rereading a little you said this, but yet he gave you the #s for the compression test, and you said you don't know what that means but yet you say say he blew up the motor and then the next sentence you say you told him to do a compression test? Dude your a ****ing tool. People like you do not diserve to drive cars like this because all you do is ruin the image of all of us who are worthy. If I can be blunt I hope your car never runs again and you get stuck for 10s of thousands of dollars on a motor build and tuning and everything else and are forced to sell the car because of your stupidity both you and your butt buddy. What kills me is if this shop is so terrible why did your buddy go there after you did to get his stuff done and tuned? Everyone "I give you your moron" as Homer Simpson would say.

And Secondly, it seems to be that Akuma performed the compression after he started to tune the car. Dude this was just not a tune! His post is hard to follow.

ANY MECHANIC OR TUNING SHOP ONLY SHOULD BE DOING WORK YOU SPECIFY BEFORE HAND. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BRING A FUNCTIONAL CAR.
It is by no means up to the shop to pre check every tired car that comes through the door. I work with several professional shops around the US and many others around the world. NONE of them take it upon themselves to just preform random test without some sort of sign.
If his fuel pump would have failed on the dyno and blown the motor would you have blamed the tuner for not testing that as well? Damn evil greedy tuner being cautious with my car YOU BASTARD!
