Full Blown
Well I was sitting in the parking lot at work today and My car started smoking... I was a little shocked b/c yesterday I got it tuned... I quickly shut it off and popped the hood to go take a look.... I look down and there is Oil all over the ground... I look underneath and theres a huge fire... I was like F**k this cant be happening.. I got the fire out and sure enough there was a MONSTER hole in the side of my block... I don't know what happened and I don't care to know... I'm done with that project and am selling it... it has been nothing but a headache since I boosted it.. I was running complete bolt on and this still happened I'm in it so deep its hurting my daughters college fund... I just gotta get rid of it.... anyone think 8k for a 06 with 40k is to much to ask.... the top end is fine It just needs the bottom end.... and I am supper ____ed at my TUNER.... I paid him a lot of $$$$ just so this wouldn't happen...

Shop did everything... but he doesn't want to take responsibility for it... I called him and he said he can show me the log of how they tuned it and it was conservative so there is no reason it should have happened... plus I babied it to work today and I cant believe it happened

Damn man...I am so sorry to hear that. Trust me, I know how it feels...how it feels TWICE.
This car is not meant for boost and I know that now =/
If I were you I would have let the fire catch to the engine and collect insurance =/

no actually this is the 3rd tune in 2 weeks... 2 different tuners though... I'm running FIC and I changed the plugs last week it ran fine so I though it would be ok ... a few days later (Fri) It started acting up so I decided it might be some bad fuel but I drained it and filled it with fresh 94. It didn't help so I took it back to the tune shop Sat and he said he would get to it Mon morning... well heres tues and Im F**ked... I tried to reason with him but he has just gave me a run around
