Well Engine is finally run in and I have had a qik tune as I really want to get it to the track (Wakefield) and see what it can do. After that I'm up for a new ECU and then run 20-22PSI boost

Well I never made it to Wakefield [8~2] The engine failed its run in and gasket leaked so back to the builder and looking to replace the 60 thou block for a stock unmolestered one. I'm not happy with my turbo too so trying to source a 3071R and ECU will get upgraded to a Vipec 44 or 88, stay tuned!.

Yep! Just found out today that the cause of my engine failing was due to the bad tune that was setup. the engine was running way too rich which destroyed the rings, valves and scored the block as over fueling glazes the cylnder. This was seperate to my gasket issue due to O rings.

Well Just got the repair bill from the engine builder after the tuner destroyed my engine. $4600 not happy but then serves me right by choosing that tuner in the first place.

Needed 16 valves, block, 4 pistons, All bottom end bearings , honing gaskets etc

Will take my car to a decent tuner now!

[:0] Sorry to hear how bad the damage was muzza. [B)]

Seems hard to know with tuners though, I've only heard good things about unigroup.

I've tried a few and haven't been particularly happy and was going to try unigroup later this year. Maybe not now. [x2x]
