So much love happening here.

[Murphy2012]

Sweet man, thanks for coming aboard! Need to reschedule a tune as I was supposed to be coming down this monday.

[Robk0000]

I thought you were going to be there moday too, Glad i didnt show up for no reason. lol

[Bu11dogg2]

Let us know when you go for your tune!

I need a refill on TORCO :)

[Robk0000]

ive never been on the dyno, my brother said i should probably get a afr reading along with some other crap. But i have a $300 gauge in my room that says that ****, i think im going to install it next week. Is it okay to drill a big hole in the exhaust then put the sensor in it? or should i have someone weld a metal stub thats threaded?

[Bu11dogg2]

your AFR will only read correctly under WOT.

You can be running rich/lean in normal driving conditions and not know it.

Yes you should put it in the mouth of the DP right after the turbo so the point is facing down. It requires and probably came with a bung.

Wrong.

True.

[Robk0000]

yeah, its not turbo :)

came with the bung.

[-=The Boss=-]

The right after the collector for the header/ manifold. Weld in the bung.



he he he I said bung

[Robk0000]

I need to fix my exhaust, Do you guys weld?

The header has a leak, well its actually cracked, had it fixed and i think the weld the dude did was crap and its leaking again.

When would you like to reschedule to??? I have some time open next week if your available.

I've noticed that the Afr gauges are very picky depending on what gauge and what car it is. I found that if u wire it into the stock rear O2 sensor it works the best. We can also do dyno pulls with our wideband for a more accurate reading if you would like.

[Robk0000]

I purchased a PLX devices, AFR meter and it looks really cool just sitting in my room. But i kinda wanna get that installed. When i hook it up, after i get my gauge holder mabobber, I will try and schedule somthing with you. I live in loudon, so it will take a whole 13 minutes to come over.

Also, just letting you know in advance, i mean like 6 months to a year early, that im going to come to you after i get my engine swap, make sure everything is good with the engine after the install.

[TDC Tuning]

I can weld! What kind of headers do you have?

[Robk0000]

Borla, I would get them replaced under the million mile warranty, but. They need the header, i need the car, and they dont make this header anymore, so im screwed before i even call them. So i need to fix it, lol.

[Nate8409]

COmplain harder. Tell them you want to speak to a rep or arrange to have a qualified shop of some type inspect it and report to them.

[Robk0000]

dude, they need the header to verify it was not abused and ****, I ABUSED it, so i fail with that. Plus they want the header, now if they were local, i would drive there, rev my engine and they will hear the leak, but they are in wiskonsen, whoever you spell it. Now i have several options:

a) Roadtrip, 5000+ miles to find out they still wont give me a header because they dont have it.
b) reweld every 2 weeks, no complaints except paying somebody to do.
c) Engine Swap.
d) tdc can weld the bung and fix the header at the same time
e) Combine C/D and get the best of both worlds.

You know which one i am going for.

[banned4life]

vlad is going to be so excited to see tdc on the forum

[Robk0000]

Didnt come with with the female threaded part, which i am assuming was the bung, i have the sensor, its threaded. But nothing to screw into.

Ill PM you with a date and time.

[SilverSubie2.5]

Borla, I would get them replaced under the million mile warranty, but. They need the header, i need the car, and they dont make this header anymore, so im screwed before i even call them. So i need to fix it, lol.

Is the L single port or dual? I have some stock dual ports you could borrow if needed.

[Robk0000]

Single :(

[SilverSubie2.5]

Ahhh, that's a bummer. Wish I could help you out, man.

[scans007]

Sweet....

[starhm]

[TDC Brendan]

Just thought I would share the results of last nights tuning on one of the biggest builds in TDC Tuning history.

06 STI 2.71L stroker, APS SR70 turbo kit, 1100cc injectors, Duel fuel pumps, and all the rest to go with it.:D

The break-in tune made 330whp on a mere 15psi only going to 6000. this is what happens when Mike turns it up.

[kb1043]

Holy Shiite, I want one

[TDC Brendan]

Meth is hooked up and should be getting tuned for that today :D

[pjk91]

Whats your end whp goal with the monster? I saw a TDC subaru in a magazine once...was that yours? I think it was green. It was rediculously powerful. That's all I remember.

[2mprzya]

check us posted on the new number with meth please!

[TDC Brendan]

Will do!

[TDC Brendan]

Meth numbers are in!!!!

[2mprzya]

anyone heard info that tdc may be selling the dyno? someone on nasioc said they read somewhere they were getting rid of it.

and brendan, can you get ahold of mike and have him get me a time to come over and retune the car. i've been trying to get ahold of him for a few months with no luck at all.

[Murphy2012]

I heard they are closing at the end of the month.

[2mprzya]

any reason why?

[f1vlad]

DYNO is moving to California to Mr.John. I thought you guys were friends and huge fans of the TDC clan?

[Murphy2012]

^^ I never thought you were such a prick.

[Bu11dogg2]

:lol:

let's leave teh TDC bashing to the LegacyGt.com mods please :)

If you have an issue with a vendor, PM them. If it's not resolved, PM me.

[f1vlad]

Neither did I, sorry for hurting your feelings (you two are big fans of TDC, I am not. There's no secrets).

[Bu11dogg2]

You didn't hurt my feelings, but you sure did make the the forum look like ass.

Next person to post off topic in this thread gets a timeout. ;)

[Murphy2012]

Randy did you get an s4?

[Robk0000]

just like F1Dyno? THey didnt have a dyno day and have someone install the car straps on Lateral Arms here too, did they?

[f1vlad]

I think you are on drugs Rob.

[Robk0000]

what that happened 2 months prior to F1 dyno shutting down.

[2mprzya]

the reason f1 closed was because the dyno broke, and it would be too much to fix it.

i can't beleive tdc is losing the dyno.

brendan, if you could please ask mike if i can set up a time to have him look at his original tune and maybe make some adjustments before the dyno heads west.

thanks.

[Robk0000]

i ddnt know it broke, i just knew that happened a few months prior.

[2mprzya]

yeah, i remember going to that dyno day.. thankfully i showed up late to that meet, and they caught on to the newbie putting the straps on wrong.

it def cost them some dough tho, as i know they replaced a few of them at their expense.

[Bu11dogg2]

THe newb at F1 put the straps on the sway bars and bent 8+ of them.


It is my understanding that TDC is leaving at teh end of february.

Sched your tunes now!!

[RobE]

anyone heard info that tdc may be selling the dyno? someone on nasioc said they read somewhere they were getting rid of it.
im the one that said it. they posted this info on www.legacygt.com (http://www.legacygt.com) a couple of weeks ago.

quote from lgt.com...
As of the end of February TDC Tuning, will be restructuring the business, the dyno is rarely used at this point and is hurting us with overhead. Also we currently have a very low volume of work coming in, so may be eliminating that as well. We will still offer parts, maps, e-tunes, and tunes (at another location). We are currently considering whether or not doing install work is worth it or not.

If you want work and/or tuning I would suggest scheduling it ASAP.

[2mprzya]

oh yeah... i saw your post about the legacygt.com forum after.

[Nate8409]

Bye TDC.

[Robk0000]

did they sell the dyno? If not i know someone that may want to purchase an AWD dyno in Mass.

[2mprzya]

i read somewhere it was heading out to cali... im assuming to jon. not sure how good the resource was tho.

[f1vlad]

That is what I said above. John is moving it to California.

[TrickyDik]

Perhaps the title of this thread should change to "TDC isn't here"?

I keed keed.
