I just spoke to the tuner this morning about my trip home, they just keep telling me there is nothing wrong with the tune, "we did 4 other cars like your on friday and your is the only one having problem"

thanks that means the world to me....

if I had the money I think I would just take it somewhere else to get done... and if they fixed it, I would be off to consumer affairs, as the issue is a by product of the tune... it has to be!

custom tunes that only have you on the dyno for 1 of them, then the others get edited on the computer and expected to work...

who else is having the problems and are they all BA's? or BF's?

What injectors did you end up putting in it mate? 42 or 60s? Do you have a better fuel pump installed? Was the tank full when it was tuned and driven home?

OK, I would never say never in regards to a better than factory fuel pump though...

You could have a bad batch of fuel, but its a tricky one here, have you done the Boost Solenoid maintenance?

must be a both shell and caltex that are bad because I filled up at a caltex before the tune friday then at a shell (a whole tank) monday morning before the tune.

the fuel pump can come later down the track is all im saying...

no I have not done the boost solenoid maintenance, where is it and what do I have to do???

.....and to top it all off, the gear box started, straight after the "retune" not dropping in to over drive... so now I get to sit on 3 grand on the highway..

How many k's on your car? Your auto could be shagged out.. It almost sounds like the auto has started to slip which is fairly common given a car drivin on standard auto settings.. ESPECIALLY since I read you were running a Interceptor. An interceptor is unable to make the auto shift firmer which is what is needed for more power.

this seems to be the same problem I have , comes on boost hard in the mid range it just drops off from say 11-12 down to 6psi but near the top end the boost comes back up again.... too annoying , doesnt seem to do it on the dyno either

what could the prob be , the wastegate opening up dropping my boost but it must close again towards the top end , does this mean I need an upgradged gate?
