Squeeze-Yes that is the car I'm referring too. I know it never hit 1000 wheel that was a knock ah GTM hahaha. I only brought it up as I do remember MAF issues being brought up in the thread about the car

Chuck-no really no better luck. Still paying for the build out of pocket. I am right there with you on the being lied too thing man! I've still got the warm an fuzzy that that's what happened to me. That is one of the biggest reasons why I even installed my turbo kit myself in the first place.

Jwick-I wasn't implying an outrageous cost to do the build; more so the lack there of!

I still had some room on the oem mafs at 660 but not much. The size of the charge pipes will impact your limits as well though.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I'm sure in the end you'll be happier, and hopefully the shops makes things right.

I will go ahead and pull them and replace with 2 UpRev sensors I think constructing new charge piping to prove to be more of a hassle than necessary. Thank you for chiming in DJ! I got my invoice today and found out my pistons are two weeks away! *claps excitedly!* So they are doing a little better. No fronted cost for parts/"free" parts or anything of the sort.

Ive beat the living piss out of it since getting it tuned...definitely gonna be a little easier on her for awhile. However, it seems the past few, have been tuning (yet to be,determined I,know)not directly related to mechanical failure, which gives me great confidence because mine was tuned and torture tested by Vince haha. I honestly think everyone should just ship their cars to r/t tuning and let Vince tune them!

Ehhh I'm going to send mine over to Alex and Todd with motion labs. Mine was definitely a tune issue. Mechanical failure rate does seem to be pretty slim to none on these motors. Just watch your oil changes closely for signs of breakdown and continue to enjoy the car joe. That's the point of the tune; to have to car dialed in ever so well that you can beat it to death and then some and not be worried while doing it!

I agree as tuning to be the culprit in most cases. Improper tunes WILL destroy any vehicle. People should care about their work and not the money. Not enough integrity out there these days, too much focus on making the quick buck.

Funny thing is those tuners end up having the car on their dyno twice as long and it turns into a real PITA. Takes just as much time to do it right as when you are screwing things up and spend that much time fixing a simple issue if you just didn't rush.

Stop and think. Best advice I have ever been given

I would say the part causing head scratching for me is when they are tuners that have tuned our cars before and they are gernading them...just seem messed up!
