Default hondata hates my car WTF ????

ok so my setup was complete
my car was running fine with no CELs
so i took my car to have my turbo setup installed and tuned

it turns out

"I have tried three Hondata prepped ECU's in your car, none of them want to work correctly. They all throw a different code, and the car wont run at all for me to even street tune it. I have spent at least 10 hours trying various tricks and diagnosing the sensors to figure out what is going on with no results. All three of those Hondata ecu's are from working cars, with no codes. They all operate correctly, and they have all been tuned by me making good power. "

what do i do now

sounds like something got messed up in the install or you need to look at another product for fuel control.

Does this mean your tuner just threw in a pretuned hondata into your car and expected it to work?
i always thought you should run a base map then tune...

Most likely it's your wiring harness. Give me a call and I'll see what I can do.

I am interested to see the outcome of this diagnostics with RPM NYC.
RPM bought a bunch of ECUs from me with no issues.

I highly doubt the ECU I sent you is a P06, it is your Hondata issue.
I hope this will get resolved, so I can be on my feet again.
