No, that's Tony from FA20Club, not Visconti.

Yeah, like a chimpanzee performing a heart transplant. That's hit or miss. Selling the wrong parts because you know nothing about engineering and are simply guessing about how to tune a car because you're incompetent has nothing to do with hit or miss. Lol, tuning an ECU and selling a flex fuel kit is hit or miss, not about proper engineering? Good lord, some people can take it up the backside all day it seems. Sure helps to keep bad and dangerous vendors in business.

O really? It had nothing to do with all the leaning out and knock in his tunes or the leaky fittings he sold that more than likely burned down car he failed to support? Other folk with the same kit reported similar leaks in the same spot and this car caught fire when his approved installer worked on installing his own kit! Is 1+1=3 the new math now? Plus he's a douche of a person as both his pics in response on facebook and posts here proved. Why anyone wants to give this individual their money when there are so many alternatives that are actually competent is beyond me.

Exactly!

That's true in a general sense. This Visconti BS is so obvious and reeks to high heaven it is far from the case here.


As far as I know, the dude how absolutely zero engineering and automotive credentials apart from charging people money for services that may or may not kill you. Hell, I won't even let a certified Toyota or Subaru tech touch my car, you guys giving Visconti money are playing Russian roulette IMO. My 2 pence.

Tony wasn't the only one. I recall one person specifically said a supposedly 'fixed' Visconti tune leaned out his FA20. He even got the feeling it was intentionally done.

Lets not all forget he's a total douche bag as well. I think that says more than his tuning which is why I would never buy anything from him. Just waiting for him to blow up someone elses engine and they kick his ass when he does. That would be a great youtube.
