I can't hold my tongue anymore, TMS is a shit shop and doesn't need to be in business anymore. All you nut swingers that live thousands of miles away and think Marks word is golden and always truthful can stfu. He acts like he knows what he's talking about when in reality he has no clue! I was there when he told Matt that these new pistons would work great for his application and easily make 700 to the tires. The truth is he had no idea that those piston suck for a turbo car. His response will be yes he did and Matt just wanted a cheap quick fix. Which is total horse shit! If you lived up here you would know that nobody goes to TMS for tuning, this is a prime example why. Matt's car was their chance to prove they could tune and they failed. Then want to point fingers at how Matt must have done something.
Working on the car I found out that the wideband was on bank 2, which everyone knows runs about a point richer than bank 1. Matt was told by TMS that he had to move his wideband from the downpipe to the drivers side exhaust. Which everyone with a brain knows on turbo cars you want your front o2's pre turbo and you want the wideband after the turbo in the downpipe.
Point 2, they did not add 3-5% of fuel to accommodate for real load vs simulated load!
It's funny that both motors blew first time out on the street! Interesting
Point 3 Mark asked for donations and waved the American flag because Matt's a soldier! We are both soldiers, and Matt never asked or wanted charity! We do what we do because we love this country and I'll be damn if someone uses that to try and make himself look good on a car forum! Mark claimed that he's out thousands of dollars on helping Matt. Which is total horseshit again! Mark had the block machines which cost Matt $600 and he assembled the short block. Again stating that this motor was solid and an easy 700 rwhp because he assembled it! The only thing Mark lost was his time. Which is no where near $1000 dollars.
Point 4 Mark doesn't tune shit but I see he likes to use "I" when he talks about tuning cars! The truth is and I heard it from his own mouth, that he knows shit about tuning and it pisses him off that he doesn't know. He also said he would like to go to a class about tuning because he hates not knowing.
The whole purpose of this post is to inform people about TMS! The whole pacific north west knows about this already. It's time that the rest of the county knows about this shop and that just because a guy is a part owner of a shop with a high post count does not mean that he is god and all knowing!
The new motor and a real tuner will tell the truth!
