Tuner X removed my Stock Boost Control Solenoid and placed in an NBC Manual Boost Controller. We did as many pulls as we can perform before I started to run out of water/methanol. We did several 2nd gear pulls, 3rd gear pulls, and 1-4th gear pulls. My car now puts down 348tq – 281hp @ 21.5PSI and is quieter, more responsive, and power you can definitely feel. I could have gotten more power but we forgot to change out the Aquamist jet since Paul put in the smallest jet. Like before he showed me the log files of his tune and my car was running as health as you can get (besides the damaged that was already done by Paul). No knocking or detonation.

and i have to quote this cuz i lol'd
I murder out the car and made it a true road assassin.
i love this stuff. those compression #s dont indicate anything. i have seen the same thing for years now. if #3 had 90psi i would be concerned. also its pretty funny that your sweeting an engine problem then decide to hammer 21 psi to your stock pistons.
what was wrong with the intake valve? so far since i have been around subarus i have yet to see an intake valve failure. oh but wait, that awsome meth and water your putting in your intake is corrosive. what is that going to do to your valve seats.not going to make a good seat.
what was the leakdown % i have seen perfectly even compression #s and when a leakdown is performed found one hole at 30% and the others normal. but when the engine was pulled 2 cylinders had broken ring lands.. on a stock ej257. both compression and leakage tests are guides.
what ever bla bla bla
i wonder what kinda guy would want to tune an engine that is supposed to be damaged. thats what i call a hand grenade.
lets take the engine apart and see the truth.

I too was thinking the same thing. He goes on about damage done, and then immediately jumps into performance tuning. If my engine had issues, the last thing on my mind would be getting a tune, let alone any further engine use until any issues were repaired.
