You'll be fine as long as you know that the wideband is trustworthy.....

Everyone,
Please understand that the dyno shop will still be conducting their daily activities as normal on Saturday while we are tuning. They have limited parking, so please don't block off the driveway. I'll try to see where we can park so we do not block off or scare away their customers.
Also please show some courtesy while on the premises and not to disrupt the people there and the surrounding business. I know there is a little restaurant next to Tech3 that serves breakfast all day and the food there is really decent. We can probably chill there while waiting for our turn rather than hanging around the shop. The place is call "Just Breakfast" so just in case you're wondering.

Thank you, Steve, Phong, Chris, and everyone that made this event go well!
I can't believe how stupid faster (and smoother!) my car is now. When I reroute that boost controller hose, I might be able to get even a touch more power....and get that solenoid/vacuum issue fixed to have my second turbo kick on more consistently.

I think this session was a success. I was very happy with the turnout and the results. And I am sure everyone feel the same way. I got to meet some of the forum members and their cars. Thanks to all the guys who participated in the event. And a big thanks to Steve to an awesome job...
Oh yes, my car did 329 hp on 12 psi. I am saving it for the next session with Steve...

Hey did anyone see the dude from East Palo Alto with the R85 turbo? That was one big-*** turbo: almost as big as the engine itself.
What hp and torque did it make?
I couldn't get dynoed because of other commitments but I would like to be on the list next time. Thanks to Phong and Chris for organizing this.

Good to hear it was a success. Anyhow...I didnt make it due to my Secondaries leaking fuel. I tried making a grommet to fit the injectors, but it wasnt a success. Time to change them to something that works.
Roto7FD, when my car completes...Im want to see what his schedule is like and see if he will head back here anytime with some confirmed people again.
Good stuff...any more #'s out there?

I'm very please of the outcome of both the session and my car. I couldn't believe how responsive and how hard it pulls when my second turbo kicks in. It makes the car much easier and enjoyable to drive. To me, this was a very successful event to have one of the top rotary tuners visit the bay area and tune our cars. Plus I got to meet some more local rotory guys too. Despite that the fact that Rotor7FD's car wasn't running correctly, oh well next time bro.
So I'll like to give thanks to Gotboost920 for putting up the idea and scheduling it, then dumping all the responsibilities, Chris for helping me coordinate sunday, Tech3 and their crew, and a special thanks to Steve for doing such a wonderful job.
And as asked by others, I might schedule Steve to come out for another session, late spring or summer for those who missed it, or those who didn't get their car running properly.
