I live near Los Angeles Area and decided to drive a little to get my car tuned up in NorCal..

People at GST motorsports are the best! Their service is excellent and Mike really knows how to tune! It was definitly worth the 400mile drive each way. I think i got so much out of my $250 that I paid for Protune.

When my car got on the dyno 1st time, I got a good number but Mike was telling my how my car had to be so rich to get the timing right. After the tune, my car was running great, but that P1507 CEL kept on throwing.

I took my car back to the shop asking about the CEL. and they did a quick inspection. It turns out that the Hose T was broken and air was leaking through that. They got a new hose T for me (with no cost) and made sure the CEL doesn't come on.

As I left, GST called me on my cel wanting my car to come back. Mike apparently didnt want me to drive the car back to LA without him lookin at it. So my car ended up being dyno'd again. Mike tuned it and I got additional 6 hp/5 tq from the previous tune.

Just wanna say GST is awsome and They were definitly worth the drive...

either are you apparently, the slop @ 4500 is clearly a problem :eek:

Relax Adam, there was a slight boost dip that despite several hours of trying to clean up and remove just could not be tuned out with the factory boost setup and given that the car was running within 2hp and 1ftlb run after run with no cool down it was deemed as a relatively none issue so no there was no knock.

Explained in above post, but why would a dip in a graph clearly be a problem without you knowing any of the details?

Glad your enjoying the ride and happy that we were able to find that leak and get the car checked out again before you left.

Mike
i've seen dozens of vendors get worked up over nasio-critics. it's a losing battle, trust me. as a vendor you've gotta have a little more discretion with your posts... provide details, be professional, don't bite when someone is either wrong/ignorant/uninformed, just makes you look worse :)

nice tune... looks like a boost thing to me, too. just look at the peak right before said "dip." take it away and the dip isn't really noticable. if the car was pulling timing you'd see a much more noticable drop.

Mike is great at what he does, keep up the good work guys.

+1 for the clean ride, nice..

nice numbers

Did you drive up last Friday? I remember seeing the WRB '02/'03 bumper + STi wing a couple cars ahead of me on the 5N... But I pulled off shortly after I spotted you for a potty break. :p

I got these on ebay.. Konig's and I painted them gold

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: you are not a tuner bro eeeeasy dude, don't be talking the crap be cool

It doesnt take a tuner to notice things about a dyno graph, for all you know Carmi I could be studying my arse off to become one. ;)

BTW I wasn't talking crap, just asking a question.....

im always in diamond bar and have never seen your car. nice ride though

Congrats on your numbers on your car. don't know you, but can tell youre very intelligent to drive up here and let Mike/GST do what they do...;)

nice numbers!! i got very similar numbers with the same setup!
