I told Mao to tune it with zero knock correction from ECU on multiple runs, kinda because scared of knocking killing ringland.

Duke, "Nobody" is a stretch. I've had both my cars tuned there and am a satisfied customer... Opinions are like arseholes, everyone's got 1.

definitely sounds like a bad tune.

more open loop tuning work required before smoothing it out with PID

I know u r not a fan of Evo r, but I had even worse experience from another subaeu specialist, Mao's tune feels better than other two shops I tried before, and almost all the work was done by him, and so far so good. Everyone has its own experience, but i will definitely talk to Mao first, before going to other workshops.

Granted everyone has had a bad experience at different shops but what's the one place that keeps generating smoke ? Where's the smoke there's usually.....

I hope it all works out for the best for you Gordon as having a engine issues with a car you pump your hard earned cash into is the worst.

Smooth tune < reliable tune.

Also 800ml of oil in 1000km is not good on such a new car.

It has been consuming oil for ages, it didn't just start recently.

You need to sort it out Gordon you're just throwing money away mate...
