I was told i would'nt have any problems. she ran stong for the 9k that i put on her i've yet to find out whats making her feel sick.
I did a quick research and some peeps are running a street port with stock ECU, but they claim as long you keep it in the stock boost levels, you should be ok. What was your boost patterns

Yes, full throttle. Keep trailing plug in. check both rotors..
Put the valve back in the tester and see what the maximum reading you get.
The purpose of taking out the valve is to see if the 3 pulses are even.
If both rotors are abruptly died at the same time after 9k, then its unlikely the build was the cause. Especially if you have no compression at all on both rotors.
Post the results of your maximum readings, and if the pulses are even.
I did the compression test & heres the verdict.
3 pulses on the front rotor
1 pulse on the rear
90+ psi on the front rotor
about 30 psi on the rear
Memo to all rotor heads if you decide to go with a street port & 3mm seals upgrade your ecu, fuelpump, & injectors. I just blew a little over 10k & on my rebuild at ALAMO ROTORY where there motto is & i qoute! ("THE DIFFERENCE IS EXPERIENCE") they told me ill be aight running stock boost. well my rear rotor thought otherwise!

I would be throwing bricks through windows like sweet7 said. Do they have warranties on the rebuilds? They should be paying for that, when they said you would be fine.
Sorry for the luck.
