today is the worst day of my life

The shop is not liable for any of it. This kind of work is at your own risk. Motors will blow and that's the bottom line, unless you can prove he (the tuner) was negligent and did not do something that should have been done. But something is not right about all of this, Get some pics of the damage.

Off 10psi? I'd get an arbitrary opinion on the damage before you fork the cash out.

Sorry to hear that though

[jeenyusss]

u can always get a cheap a3 and swap, but something is not right, i would chew the ass off the tuner, what a dildo

[supercivician]

i mean there is nothing i can do by myself. the car is stuck and idk

[jeenyusss]

shady shops ftl

[supercivician]

and i was only making 253whp before the motor blew

[supercivician]

idk what is exactly wrong with the motor because i dont know anything about internals

[clutch797]

did you ask them what went wrong? what blew? We need to know more before we can help you. There are a ton of things that could have gone wrong that the tuner could not prevent. If your injectors stoped, oil system stoped, or a number of other factors.

[supercivician]

lets put it this way...am i going to blow the motor again with a2

[clutch797]

Like said before, The motor should not just blow. I had my k24a1 tuned and we did 30-40+ pulls to redline and at 10psi and i had no problem. Something went wronge and untill you find out what i.e. tuner or parts, you wont know. If the motor is good it should not blow. If the tuner is bad, it can be blown up. I myself don't like high comp, and boost. I like a low comp and high boost. You are playing a dangerous game with high comp. and boost. You would be better off with a k24a2 with low comp. and boost. Post some pics.

swap another a3 for cheap, and bring it to evans

[clutch797]

If he is gunna put another motor in he should put in a k24 from papi. The k24 is lower comp. and the tq is worth the few extra bucks.

[jeenyusss]

im just saying if he wants to get it cheap and running

[clutch797]

Yea for the cheapest fix, k20a3 and for a bit more a better setup/ k24a1. In for pics.

[Guardian]

dont spend that much on a engine, buy my k20:angel:
they fucked your shit up. 1000 for a turbo install how much was tunning?




edit: i bet they didnt save any data logs
