I didn't sign a waiver form that says that they are not responsible...I'm going to try to do something about it...All I want is the tuning money back...because I can't even use the map that he gave me...by the way I'm using an AEM EMS.

Shitty dude...... ya labour sucks. Im lucky the shop is re sleeving mine for free and building it again for me. Well part of it till I get it back in my home town. Then I pay my mech to do the rest.

Id be pissed, hands down. Hell Im still pissed and it was over 6 months ago for me. Its like a g/f that cheats on you. You may forgive but never forget.

Just a few questions. How lean was the car what was the AFR? How many passes did he do on your car before this happened? What gas did you have in the car? What plugs and ignition were you running? How much boost? Give me some more details here.
