The tune he did for the other car is really bad, he won't fix it, so we had to look else where.. Moto east was my next choice, but seeing as church comes here every other Thursday I decided to go that route.. So we will see how it goes

You'll love it. I've personally spent thousands with him, and don't hesitate to go back.

Totally understandable. Looking forward to the results! Definitely sounds like you're in good hands!

I do apologize for not getting back to you sooner, I have been extremely overwhelmed at the moment or even the past couple months. To let you know this literally the first day in about 2 weeks since I have been able to get to calls or emails or online. It is still no excuse as any one would say and why I am online today.

I think you are taking a good approach by going with a more local tuner for your specific business requests and needs as it is very hard to meet your requests remotely without being able to look under the hood of the vehicle. With that as long as you have Mr Church tuning the vehicle he will do a bang up job for you.

Cheers,

We both know how dealing with that customer is, so honestly I understand why. We may have found out why some of the tune is off, as it may have been the wrong MAP sensor on the car.. Not a denso 3 bar like you were told. And I'm 10000% positive if you were able to see the car in person you would've seen that fixed it and had the car running right. The customer is a really.. Impatient person to put it nicely. I just wish that we could've stayed in better contact. I don't mean to bash you by no means. Before this your the only tuner I recommended and when we sell a kit I refer them to you. I just wished we could have been the person he went to, then we go to you, instead of him driving you away

For the record this customer is one of those guys that will call you 10-15 times a day for the same questions.. Or call you ask a question, then call back in 15 mins to ask another one. He is one that doesn't like waiting, and has goals that are extremely hard to meet.. He is a great guy and all, just difficult to work with and bill tried to go out of his way to help him out, but one can only take so much. After that happened, the rest of concatenation just was difficult. We've had three other cars needed tuned, a full blown BRZ and two KW kits and we just couldn't get responses.. We feel that a lot of it was just due to the previous customer.

It may or may not have been. How about this we will be out there are SEMA and sit down and talk if you like. We do not even need to speak about future business but just clear things up and move forward with our businesses. If something works out great, if not that is absolutely perfect too.

Anyway we will be out for SEMA Monday through Friday. Lets see if we can meet up and we will be driving out so we can meet you are your shop if you like.

@KraftWerks How much loss WHP/TQ will there be between a full exhaust setup with UEL carless header (2.5 setup) vs using all stock exhaust components on a tuned car(not stock tune) One of my goals now is to keep the noise down near stock levels if I go with an FI kit.

I'm on a stock header and a nice and quiet Q300 exhaust and I put down 365hp at the wheels (automatic transmission). The SC is louder than the exhaust. I'm guessing a header would get me another ~10hp. I did have an open flash header installed for a short period but I live in suburbia and my wife said "no way!" to the sound level. I had to agree.

What about the FP and O/P. I currently have a Perrin 2.5 CB but I am starting to think I can just sell this now and help fund the what ever FI project I decide to get and run stock. If I go the SC route, sell my borla UEL and just go with stock. Turbo I could not do that and use whatever manifold comes with the kit.

I have the Nameless combo pipe with high flow cat and resonator. Not sure how much that is doing though.

FYI for those with the KW oil cooler kit. I removed my front bumper cover to add a transmission cooler and I noticed that I had a small leak coming from the oil cooler radiator. Looks like in fear of any leaks, I over-torqued the AN fittings on the radiator and it caused the O-rings to blow out and cause a leak. I removed the radiator and installed new o-rings. Hopefully these ones hold. Wondering if it should be a copper crush washer instead?

Yeah I'm not looking forward to doing my monthly bumper removal to check on the cooler. But copper washers aren't a bad idea!

Oh, boy I hope my Black of the self o-rings won't give me any problems. (A little bit more torque than snug fit)

This time I tightened the base until I saw the o-rings start to squeeze out then backed off ever-so-slightly. I then held the base firmly in place as I tightened the AN hose fitting on snugly to make sure the hose AN fitting didn't further tighten the base. I'll have to remove the bumper to check in a couple of weeks.

I'm about ready to invest in a cable camera so I don't have to keep removing the bumper
