"other" tuners do admit mistakes well some at least, look in PPC where dave walker wrecked a customers engine by ingesting water on a MG maestro, despite the engine prior to this being a bit ropey he put it all right cost wise and id not hesitate.
That is what I like about him total honesty, I use the same rollers(his) for comparison purposes when checking things like ea stuff, where the gas anylyser nearly clogged up at 10.5 AFR, chip was pure shit, VERY happy to print on here along with TRUE figure afterwards.
It was so rich you had to hold it at 2000 rpm when cold as it was always trying to fag out, and kept repeatedly operating amal valve constantly till warm.
When up to temp had to be revved a lot to clear plugs as they were fouling, it's a shame as I like the bloke as a person.
Dave College of retro ford had a burst fuel hose on his escort that set his car on fire, this was in the magazine(PPC), but again put right.
Last week when mapping yet another car that had been trailered over from norway the person who did the wiring when building the car used plastic clips just above a very close exhaust, clip melted wire fell on exhaust blew ecu, costing £100 repair, it was done immediately, dave/karl stayed late to do it, NO CHARGE was made for this.
I could tell you about other famous people who's work was crap but no one wants to hear about that, I've been there and seen it with my own eyes as cars were mapped.
Any decent operator will make mistakes they are a liar if they say different, the important thing is how they deal with this that sets them apart, a lot don't want to know.
