2 pressure drop tests

4 fuel pressure check
and a fair few more
I'm sure most of the top tuners do the same
It has already been established that the missing power was not due to stu's off the shelf chip it was the fact the car had no boost
stu;s maps have the correct spark advance and fuel duty cycle for upto 2.2 bar and 500+ bhp
IMO you should have left stu's chip in and just fixed the boost leak
How can you blame the owner he is a kitchen fitter you and luke boast how you are tuning gods not seen moonstone boasting
The car was running fine and was making ok power for its said boost level it just needed a suitable map and boost..
I cant comment on the msd chip and you might be right as i dont know what the chip was specked for as know one knew cr so that would of been very catastrophic if luke had just let it have full boost on a chip that would most certainly have the wrong ignition table???
The facts are them pistons have gripped the bores due to getting hot and bad enough to crack them!!!
This is what caused the death of the engine!!! that bit of det on the pitons could have happened at any time in its life and this last trauma finished the rings off..
