Yeah, it was nice meeting everyone also. Finally figured out what the problem was...bov won't hold past ~21psi.

I did another boost leak test, but it wouldn't hold past 21/22. Felt the bov part that recirculates back into the intake and it was leaking. I put a rubber plug over it and it held to 24psi before the pvc pipe on the tester blew off and damn near gave me a heart attack (thanks j8 for the warning )lol...so if it could of held longer I'm positive the psi would of climbed to 28. Now I gotta order a new part...will it ever end???

Thanks to Mark and Paul! 2 completely cool guys who know their ****. Thanks for sticking around and trying to figure out what my problem was.

One more thing...now I know what a "real" tune feels like. Not like what I had from the other guy...

Sorry if the mean old boost leak tester scared you. I know they can be really, really scary. Good thing you got that fixed, so there will be no excuses when we race. By the way I went ahead and picked something else up for the car since I am going to be waiting about another week for the kit. It will be a suprise... Or you can look below and see what it is....

It must be said that this flash was certainly more enjoyable than my last, cough-flash experience. Actually feel that the car was tuned right and got answers to Q's that I had, instead of "I'm just a tuner".

Ahh hell I'll say it, Al is a jerk, and will never return to him or recomend anyone to him. Personally "Bro" should you catch wind of this, you need to learn some manners and have a little more tact (a keen sense of what to do or say in order to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense) in case you don't know what it means.

Mark and Paul keep up the good work

My thoughts exactly. Didn't know someone else went through what I did. I agree with his crappy attitude and tune. This tune feels WAY stronger.

Just waiting for the kit. When it gets on you will be the first to know. Then we need to run the hamsters and see who comes out on top. Would anyone like to take a guess on who is going to win? Will it be the EVO or the Neon? By the way I was just joking about the NOS and the Alky.
