Default ST170

Hi guys, please help!
I went to a tuning place recently to get a remap for my st170...(which can be done with no problems) after 20minutes of him trying to do it he says "he cannot read the ECU" he did a power run and it came in at 145.8BHP and the torque was very low...im not sure where to go, any replies appreciated!

sounds about right power for a st170 as I always thought they should have called it the st150 in first place, tuner cant be that good or have correct software if they cant deal with your car suggest you try one of the big boys

its more the case their software was not correct, a phone call to MSD could put you on the right track in blackpool

i think a lot of power is lost due to faulty imrc as they dont always show a code so owners dont know. thats my theory anyway
