I'm sure if this had been the case moonstone would have been on the phone complaining about the new 1200 quid t4 I had just sold him
when we map a car we carry out basic engine checks before we do anything
1 cylinder leakage check
2 pressure drop tests
3 coolant gas sampling and coolant system pressure drop check
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
