yep. cant wait to see his final work. he said he takes up to 4-5 hrs cuz he goes thru every parameter on fic. he lives literally less then 3 miles from me, im meeting him up at 7. i just ran the vacuum from the fic towards my boost line comin out of the firewall, i gotta pick up a T and some mini clamps to make sure none of my lines come lose/leak. i put in the turbo myself so even though i havent had problems yet, im scared one of the IC pipes might pop off from the clamps lol, thats y i was asking if he brings tools with him cuz ima pick up some better clamps just incase one of em goes.

So far not so good. I went i picked him up from his house, i left the injectors at my house so we too a quick ride over. He was suppose to make a quick base map while i put in the injectors. His laptop kept messing up, but we eventually got to it, i cranked the car and he kept adjusting as i cranked to get it to turn. We then realized somethng was wrong with the injectors when we got a nasty backfire. the rubber gaskets werent on the injectors (my bad) and the engine was smoking. We waited a bit and eventually went back to it. after a while we got the car to crank again (but the plugs r def fowled) but it would shut off, as it began to make a clinging sound. we freaked out, he had no idea what it was neither did i, so we replaced the injectors back to stock and we took of the aem, it started up first try it did that knockin ting sound, then it stopped. We took a drive around to make sure all was good, what we discovered was that the ting went away (wtf was that knocking omg!) my bov somehow went to craps (hks ftl) and my boost gauge decided to stop working... dont ask me how, but it seems theirs alot of vacuum leaks now ugh

He told me to look over everything, and let him kno whats up. If we need any tools to let him kno before he leaves the shop so he can bring it and we can fix crap. We r gonna check the spark plugs clean em out till i get new ones, just so we can get a quick tune, he will fine tune it when i get new ones. Hes gonna try to work on the BOV as well, and ima zip tie everything and check all my vacuums to c why my boost gauge isnt working now...

I just got off the phone with Luiggi. It looks like he'll be my tuner. He took the time to speak with me on the phone and answered all my questions. There's no doubt he loves what he does - and I'm going to find out if he's that good.

Maybe, he is a lil cocky for the numbers he expects, but i cant doubt it yet. Ive just been delayed again though, which really sucks. We were suppose to get a tune in tonight but his sister gave birth and thus is in boca. He's gonna be heading down sometime tonight, but i dunno...
