Then after break in I installed the atp turbo and had a leak down done at the same time. The #1 cylinder was having small issues. That shop will never see my car again. I moved on.
So with the AtP turbo installed I needed to get the car tuned. So I sent it to the tuner that tuned it. Car ran ok, Then I went to the drags and logged the car. Which we found some not so ok stuff. So after retuning the car the 4th time. I got onto the freeway and rolled on the throttle a bit. Everything fine. Then I slowed to log the car in 3rd and car halfway thru stopped making power and started running slow.
Got it back to the house with EGT's skyrocketing and smoking.
I went to turn the engine over and it didnt have that even spin. I know something went wrong.
The rest is well done......
But never fear. we will have it back togther and running stronger, faster and better.

I had one last three pulls on the dyno before "knock...knock...knock...knock...knock" set in.
And that was setting the AFRs with no boost.
Without seeing the logs....and I do not want to see them...my guess is too much being asked of the stock pistons.
Hypereutectickenetic FTW!!!

This was the second engine in my car. This came from a local shop that bent valves in my engine. After a few months, I got the heads rebuilt and a STi short block installed.
Then after break in I installed the atp turbo and had a leak down done at the same time. The #1 cylinder was having small issues. That shop will never see my car again. I moved on.
So with the AtP turbo installed I needed to get the car tuned. So I sent it to the tuner that tuned it. Car ran ok, Then I went to the drags and logged the car. Which we found some not so ok stuff.

Taking it to Cobb for a tune considering the local talent is a brave decision, but I appreciate the fact that you've taken the high ground and moved on from past experiences.

I think after reviewing what happen with my custody battle today. I think it might be time to part this out or sell the car.
Might just be time to sell the bikes, cars, and house and move the f;;; out of California.
Mom can be just short of a crackhead and still be better then the father in California's eyes. I have everything set for my son and well even with moms problemed older son, She's still better then I am. So I think its time forget and to move on.
