who can tune my FD?
Im in desperate need of a good tuning for my FD. But not desperate to let just any random joe to do it. I really need some advice and recommendations of anyone you trust to tune your car. My location is Hochspeyer Germany I will be happy to make a trip, but limited to max 6hours. My friend Benjamin has tried to help with my idle hunting issue and we tried several options to fix but no luck with time I had at his location. please send me any info on a good tuner.
thanks guys

/edit. bit short reaction, busy. read the tuners site and call them. re-worx is very OK in my opinion.

well, what i suggest: find a good tuner, bring it there and take a plane home. let them call you when the tuner fixed the idle hunting and tuned the car. don't forget to take some extra fuel in cans with you as UK fuel != DE fuel.
i was asking about the O2 sensor and the airpump: if airpump not functioning and still relying on the O2 sensor, change the O2 option in the PFC and see if it runs better.

02 F/B Control - O2 Sensor Feedback Control - Open/Closed Loop
maybe the PFC thinks an O2 sensor is being used and tries to get the emissions down but it will never succeed because the airpump is gone.

Osky's7 do you know how to rebuild engines or know anyone that can? I am pretty sure I blew an apex seal. Car starts up fine but has a rough idle and I think I hear a metal pinging sound in the intake pipe.
Im located 2 hours east of you in Schweinfurt. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: THis all happened when I was on the autobahn... I let go of the gas and moved over because of fog then few seconds later it started running like crap... been that way since. I did see two cycle oil in the leading spark plug hole on the rear rotor.

Probably not worth rebuilding if its over 3000usd/2200euros... Want to buy it 4000 usd obo? You can do a RHD conversion on yours or something or buy my backseats lol!! Thanks though man...
Looked them up... they are 290km from me. I hope I can possibly do something to have them work with me on something.

Good news, I went in for inspection and they failed me on drivers side wiper jet inop (clogged), and drivers side airbag inop (aftermarket MOMO steering wheel) I just need to disable it, just got to figure out how? I really thought they were going to fail me on my loud exhaust. I have a HKS Carbon Ti Cat back. man all that worrying for nothing.
update on idle hunting. I really thought about taking it to CDT performance but they can only quote me 41 euros an hour and Im taking a gamble on how much he really knows. He can spend 10 hours and still not figure it out. Im just going to take it to Reworx in England.

I failed again, those f!@ken ****'s failed me because now they can't see the airbag light come on when started then go out. I pulled out the bulb, they asked "where is the light" I wanted to say if it was up your a!@ kicking field goals they would know.
WARNING to all if you plan to get your car inspected DONT TAKE IT TO KAPUN INSPECTION STATION, LOCATED K- TOWN. TAKE IT TO MANNHIEM.

Update. I bought the oem steering wheel with air bag and fixed my vacume leak. Now i need a tuner. My friend Benjamin is going to help me out some. Its runining very rich, if you stand behind my car you will smell like gas the rest of the day. Ben will help me lean it very little so my eyes will not water up by standing near it. I would like to find shop that can help me tune and dyno it near by. I would like to go to Reworx but i think i will not be able to go soon. maybe late in the summer. So again if by luck anyone has found out a place near by let me know.

I think im have some turbo issues on a new turbo 1500 miles on it. let me describe the issue
as i drive normally its ok, when i get on the autobahn and have a couple of pulls, there is a puff of white smoke from what my wife says but its small. i pulled off to check my engine and noticed some smoke coming from the exhaust side of my tubo. on the autobahn as i accelerated there was some sputtering at high rpms of 5000. I read up on the forums could be a number of things
running too rich
bad tune needs to be tuned
oil seal in turbo could be going
change fuel filter
ect.
I don't consider myself a shadtree machanic but i would like someone exierenced to help me trouble shoot the problem.
I would of took it to reworx or cdp performance but funds are low. I need to find out whats going with my rx7 fd.
can anyone help?
