Maybe it's your engine builder? Sound like something like that..
I've been reading the posts for months and I never wrote anything but this time I have to say something. On may 19th we had Steve come to Montreal for a tuning session for 5 single turbo fd3s. Out of 5 engines tuned, 3 have blown up. I was the first one to go with Steve, my car had 3000km(1900miles) on a brand new ported engine and it was running great. I had 95 of compression the day before.We went on the highway to tune the car even though he never asked me what kind of set-up I had under the hood??? We did 5 pulls and then I noticed that the car was running awful on idle. Steve agreed and we went back to the shop....the car now had 60 of compression and would never start when hot. I had the engine inspected and the springs were almost flat and the seals were curved so they couldn't seal properly. Diagnostic : extreme heat probably because I went to lean for a short time. So 25 minutes , 5 pulls and 1000$ of repair for 450$..what a deal!!
The other 2 guys have rear rotor with 0 compression!! So good luck to you guys!!

But seriously, if I can get this together and ready in enough time to give you guys notice, I will be there. But please don't count on me as I am going to be one of those guys who really won't let you know until the last minute that is availiable. Just the best I can do for now. Money isn't the problem by any means, just time.
But again, if this is something I can make, I will make it. I bet that man can squeeze high 300's out of my setup.

A deposit will be required. I am not sure what Steve's stipulations are for a "walk-in". Something between you and him will work out.
I have a couple questions out to Steve and as soon as I hear back from him we will get the deposits rolling in.

Hello all,
I organized the last tune so I'll chime in.
First, my tune works great. It isn't comparable to my ground zero tune. No hiccups, no stalls. It makes impressive power and is remarkably smooth. No BS.
Steve solved some significant problems on other people's cars, both mechanical and electrical as well as tune related.
If you do this, come to the tune with the car prepared, with the car sorted. I offered a pre tune car check out day and I was the only one to come. Check your ignition, change your plugs (with ones appropriate to your setup), change your fuel filter, air filter, etc, etc. Pretend like the tune is 1 month before it is and have your car ready and then sort out the odds and ends problems for the next month.
It is well worth it, and I'm remarkably pleased.
Regards,
Justin Wade

**all people getting their cars tuned please PM me**
Ok, to make this simple we are going to start accepting deposits now. I will collect all the deposits and then send them to Steve. I would appreciate it if people would make the check out to Steve.
Once I recieve the deposits I will send them via certified mail.
$200 per person for a deposit is mandatory. Dyno time will be 85 per hour and will be held at horsepower connection. Dyno time will be paid for after tune.

^Thanks, a lot of people that are going to tune have had some pretty major issues in the last 3-4 weeks. Looks like everyone is going to pull through though.

Ha, thats what I was thinking too. My kan tune on my single fd is prefectly smooth. Drives even better than the car did when it was stock, except its making 375 to the wheels.
Maybe you guys dont get good gas up in toronto?
