Ray,

My Boss (Joel Loane at the Skiers Edge, drives a greenish X5) told me your boys were trying to balance his tires with big ol' rocks in them. They forgot that big rocks act like balance weights...except they "remove" themselves at 60mph, and "re-balance" your wheel.

Jake-Y-Pants,

Do whateva. It is true that I will be a busy boy. But I can direct you towards the problems, and Scott and my friend Adam will be there to help you. I have a stock BOV you can put in to test, as well as taking out my boost solenoid and testing that.

Yay!! Got my car back from Ray. Looks great and drives perfect. And it only took 1 day.

Thanks Ray.

Oh yeah, and it turned out to be a bent wheel up front. Other than the scuff marks no suspesion damage or anything else.

i really would ask for a free pull. you guys can't tell me you JUST wanted a baseline and nothing else. you're all curious where your car is really at!
Let's not get our panties in a bunch.

It's all about the math. Give Modern the weight you want them to use and get recalculated RWHP plots.

Ok, guys... the short version of the story is that there's a 95% chance that it's the wastegate actuator arm that gets stuck open... so, a boost leak, basically... Mitsu just released some tech thing about it and it's a sorta kinda recall on the '03's (if you experience the lack of power/boost) And there's a chance that it's been like this since day one, so Ray could be right... Anyway, on Monday their Evolution school cert guy is gonna work on it, and do my 15k, so I won't waste your time on Saturday

Pretty sure it either just needs tweaking or a new part, by what the little print out said... I miss my body being thrown back into the seat

What was their method of figuring it out? Just a hunch?
