Look mate, you say the tuner isn't dodgy, but the car is sure driving that way.

Make sure he does right by you; and if he can't, get the OEM tune back and move on to someone else.

Haha, tend to not consider it that way. But ur right, will need to move somewhere else if they can't put it right.
Having said that, I am a bit optimistic about this as we know what the problem is and they should be able to come up with solution��
Cheers man

I would suggest a street tune, you hold the laptop on your lap in the passenger seat and the tuner can drive the car through all the stages for fine tuning all the things such as MAF, DI and PI. It honestly doesn't take that long. If the dyno doesn't replicate the force on the drive system like driving it on the street you can have fixed results. I went through this with my Turbo Busa and I skipped this with my BRZ.

I still suggest flashing your basemap back and not driving with that map you are running now. Until you get a fixed tune.

Is "basement" like "fitment"? (Just joking)
Yes. Don't mess with a bad tune for long. The results can be very bad.

Yes, it's how good the fitment is at the base of the wheel well instead of at the top of the fender.
