Id like to inform/remind everybody that i am going to be here until 1st of March, that means i will be here for about another week and a half, and things so far havent been happening the way i expected it.

I know a few of you have still some things to do to your cars to get them ready, but i have to admit its not practical for me to just hang around if there's nothing to do.

So, unless i get confirmations from at least the majority of the people whom ive been in contact with before the beginning of the week after next i wont change my return date. So, if you guys are still all in, and would like me to work on your cars please let me know ASAP this week so we can schedule something.

Thanks. Stay in touch.

Ill try to get the dynochart. Although i must admit that 1nastyturboII is a very conservative guy and he was content to stay with 310hp @ 15psi, his turbo is a stock turbo with upgraded TO4B compressor housing, and low compression rotors. I'll let him fill the rest of the details. It should last him a long time like that.

Hopefully before the weekend is over i will have tuned 2 RX-2s with very different setups.

Guys, i dont mean to sound like a nag, but if dont get any more confirmations on who wants tuning or work done before tuesday next week i will be leaving back to DR on the 1st. I might be back in the summer for more work but that will greatly depend on the who confirms before i go. This time around i will be forced to take deposits for confirmation. So, please call me to let me know your status.

Unfortunately i dont have the datalog it, i havent done enough PFCs to justify purchasing it, and to be able to go to Pitt, id have to get confirmation from all the people interested and a way to get there before hand.

Im scheduled to leave back to DR on thursday morning, if nothing else is confirmed.

So, if anybody is 100% committed to having me tune for them or do an installation, now is the time to make this happen.

Well folks, im sorry to say that my trip to NY has ended and unfortunately practically none of the people whom i was in contact with came forward to get their cars tuned. This has trully been a learning experience and has forced me to change my way of doing things. So, from now on, if anybody wants my tuning/installation services, they will have to not only provide accommodations and air fare (where applicable) beforhand, they will also have to do a deposit to confirm the work will be done on their cars regardless. I was under the impression that given the fact that i was already here, people would jump at the chance of letting me tune their cars, since they would only need to cover tuning and dyno cost, but this just shows me that not even that is worth the effort.

I am off to Texas for a job interview, so who knows where that might lead, and i also have a few other gigs lined up in other places abroad.

So, next time i am called upon to do installation/tuning work, things are going to be different. Im sorry, but that is the reality of things, its a waste of time and money and i dont need that at the moment. Im not trying to sound difficult or presumptuous but i have no choice.

Hopefully the next time i do this it will be a better turnout and all will benefit from it.

Stay in touch.

Sorry to hear Claudio. If you had a Datalogit, I would have asked you to come over. At least you'd get TWO done in your two weeks+ here.
