lol…ive seen the original graphs, and been in the car when it was running strong on 2 bar SD… that is not how it left. it must have been due to some mondifying of the setup. not to mention it was on less boost

The first number, was how we got it. Chuck, this was not your tune( if you tuned it) He had another person tune it as well after you i think. Your tune was close to ours. The first tune was real lean and power was way off. After multiple computer changes and switching back to the MAF ($100 charge for 8 hours work) We picked up 240rwhp @ 6000 rpm

580-340= 340? :bloated:

thats besides the point. SOMETHING else was modified to make it like that; that is most defenitely not how it left. im not saying it was from new era. im just saying thats not how it left

why did it end up needing a new motor though?

he came back after one of your tunes too. your was pretty solid. i have a before and after, yours then ours if you want me to post it up. it was only a couple horse/tq difference.

the motor: someone else tuned it and it blew, hes had the car tuned by more than 3 people and hes never happy. the shit tune was someone one else.

Mondi is not a KID and is in fact a huge pain in the ass. Not to mention has a bad habit of effing shit up. Plenty on here have seen it first hand.

I am sooo subscribed to this.  
someone school me on HP tuners—for example how do you go and replace an epa approved emissions program with one that isnt- and the epa doesnt get thier undies in a knot? I was under the impression that from the 1990 clean air act that an approved system could not be changed? and a real/registered shop is doing this??

Your not supposed to do it, but if we all didn’t there wouldn’t be an industry.

This is why California will fine you on the road side for every mod without CARB identification. They do it, no where else really does.

It’s a grey area

Replacing your air filter with something else other than stock replacement is tampering with and emissions control device.

I have been here before in New Eras seat. It never feels good to be accused and to have only half the story out there.

All I can say is stick to your guns and if you have proof good for you. Going to technicians is like going to the doctor, you can’t fix it yourself but no one ever wants to pay the bills. Gotta love it when everyone wants something for nothing.

Besides the fact , an undisclosed shop from the buffalo area (not jnj or chuck or pm, I am not going to bash another shop) didn’t tune the car right and I fixed it after multiple pcm swaps at the customers request as stated , changing map sensors at the customer request , etc.

The point is , I have bent over backwards for this guy more than once , to get wrongfully accused and threatened for nonsense . Take it how you want it .

NY cops are too dumb to notice that kinda shit.

Except for one cop I ran into…

cliffs: driving around in a pos crx w/ a busted headlight, get pulled over, “why dont u fix the light” sorry officer I dont have the $$ …he pauses, looks in my backseat where I had a dsm sidemount… “you dont have $$ to fix a headlight, but you have money for intercoolers?!?”

i was like oh shit, pwned
