Just goes to show....when they're the only ones posting multiple engine failures only months after stating how great of an engine it is, and right before they release their built short block. Yeah, seems legit.

Advertising for a tuner on FB. Seems legit. Does @jamesm have FB and want a new job?

Not in Florida, the land of no emissions testing or state income tax.

We leave again Thursday for Fontana, CA with both cars. The Supercharged car now has 25K + hard miles on it. It will see another 4000 miles round trip and a day at Autoclub speedway and drive back home.

These motors are not 218HP weak I can promise you that. They either had a bad tune, or something was off with the internals of that specific motor. Our silver car alone should be testament to how solid and reliable this car is.

*knocks on wood*

Bingo

And that's the #1 issue with building these engines. Finding a local tuner seems harder than learning to tune yourself (almost.)

Still desperately seeking Susan
I mean ecutek tuner who can actually tune my car not sell me a remote tune.

There is moto mike in east
Perrin in pnw
Shiv hasn't convinced me he can handle my car setup and my needs
Where do I go
Have money to spend
There are commas in my account balance but no one worthy as an ecutek shop at this point near me in az

Or Bill @DeliciousTuning ..I don't think there has been a single negative review for Bill and he's been tuning subarus for over 13 years.
