well i was unable to tune my car. tuner found an exshuast leek between the manifold and the turbo. one of the treads were striped out. tuner said it would be useless to tune because after it would get fixed i would need to tune again. The shop said they would have to retap the turbo but it would be hard because it is cast iron.
