+1111. Im still baffled by it as well. But whatever, i still have a feeling my car isnt corrected. Hopefully after all this money and time ive spent dealing with this horseshit and when its all over and finally fixed, im selling my STi and just drive around the car I have been for the past 8 years without one problem. Call me a bitch, whatever. Ill never upgrade my STi ever again. Unless someone handed me an accessport and turboback, im not spending another penny into this car when it comes to modifications. If i did decide to retune the car and pay for installation all over again, ill have a $4000.00 dollar stg II investment........Not worth it toots.

they didn't mess up on installing the uppipe or the downpipe/exhaust......something was wrong with the wastegate. Do you really think they messed up installing an exhaust? Seriously man. You guys keep saying they messed up a stage 2...OMG How could they!!!!!!!!! But you are obviously not reading. The car was running fine and left the shop tuned making about 300whp . The car was brought back later running shitty.........NO ONE on here knows what failed or what was done wrong! So please, you guys STFU about how the install was wrong because none of you know what failed.....EVEN DAMIAN THE OWNER DOESN"E KNOW OR BVP SINCE THEY DIDN"T GET A CHANMCE TO FULLY DIAGNOSE>

CHUCK: You are kidding me right! Please bro.....you think the tune was messed up huh?......please. Gadiel has been tuning Subies wayyyyyy before anyone on here and has proven himself NAtionally with Subarus. Stop hating. Obviously the tune was fine......it was at least somewhat linked to the WG.


Kyle: yes you might install your stuff but your car was down for like a year and you ALWAYS run into complications. So, you know installs.....no matter how basic.....run into complications

Damien: don't mod your car if your not ready to repair something. Shit happens when you mod cars, that the way it is. You should have let them fix the problem or at least given them the chance instead of going right back to stock in a panic and then bstarting a bash thread.. Victor would have done anything he could to help you out but you had to give him time with the car man.





When i first got tuned by Gadiel.........the very first time ever meeting him. He tuned my car in like 4 passes on the dyno. I drove the car out to the races and raced Matts FP green STI. After about the 3rd run my car bogged and was making crazy noise and running like shit, the car would barely even move.. I thought the motor was done. Now I could have right away put it to stock and blamed Gadiel for messing up my car and oh he can;'t tune a simple stage 2. But I didn't.....I took the car in and it was fixed.....it turned out to be an injector gone bad- totally unrelated to any of the parts installed or the tune. Now the car runs strong and never a hiccup and Ihave a lot of track passes and hard driving on this tune. It's been almost 2 years now.

Kyles car has only been down for part related defects. Nothing that kyle did what so ever made the car not run for a year. He was waiting on a custom clutch and dealing with the clutch he had that was defective.

its one guys word against the other. and then another person always defending bvp. i competely understand the term pay to play. but at least be able to play for 9 seconds before paying. not hating on you joe, really, but to an extent, the customer is always right. in this case, i do believe the customer is right. he may have been wrong to hurry and put the car back to stock, but understand.. after the mess ups that was caused, i wouldnt want them continueing the work on my car either. you know what i mean? when ARD Performance messed my car up, i didnt want them to fix it. i wanted them to pay subaru to fix it, in which they did. bvp should take responsibility to pay subaru to assure the car is back to stock and in good working condition. if damian wants to mod the car in the later future, then whatever. he brought the car in perfect working condtition, thats how it should come out. being that bvp damaged the car in someway, they should pay to have it fixed, by subaru.

You are right buddy and I understand Damian's decision to go back to stock and it was his choice to make. It just kills me how the other people on here talk shit when they really have no clue what really happened and what went wrong. it's all speculation and assumptions at this point which isn't fair to the shop.
