i've seen brett's work in the past, and quite frankly, some of his stuff is by far the dodgiest i've ever seen. mates skyline was tuned by him, made absolutely no power, flat torque curve, took it elsewhere and made 280kw@wheels, bretts tune made 210..

not to mention ive seen the way he takes cars off the dyno, last dyno i attended he managed to take out the front end of a skoda reversing it off the dyno, needed a new front bar and all (ofcourse paid by graham west)

it doesnt take much for somebody to get a bad impression of a workshop, however, thanks for the suggestion.

if i was to go vipec, i'd go link, and get decs from garage 7 to tune it, he knows his stuff!

just another update on my rough running

have tried another air flow meter (mates forester again) and things have come good, however its definately running on 3cylinders, seems to be down on power by 10-15% which isnt too bad.

We're thinking its definately got a burnt valve.

managed to pickup another motor, complete turbo, alternator, power steering pump, aircon compressor, basically complete including clutch, ready to drop in for $150. however it has low comp!

starting to tear it down to rebuild it, looking at a 2.3ltr stroker kit, brian crower do it for around the 3k mark.
then i need to decide which way to go with the top end. fun times ahead!

ill start a build thread at some point :>
