Ever since I had the Haltech installed my car has been a pain in the ***. It hasn't run right for over 2 monthes now. It all started with a bad coil and AFM. When these went bad I decided to go haltech because I wouldn't have to use the AFM again. Well after having it installed we ran out of time to do the tuning so I had to drive home on very rough tuning(running extremely rich) which caused the car to foul plugs and run like ****. Well after 2 weeks I finally got a chance to take it back and have some real tuning done. Well while tuning the car started to detonate. Unfortunately it didn't start doing this until after I had driven 2 hours to pick the car up. Well me and the person tuning my car spent the next 5-6 hours trying to sort out what was causing the car to do this and again we ran out of time. This time I had to leave the car behind. We also found out that I have atleast one bad injector(sticking & causing car to stall) and that my turbo was leaking oil from the turbine housing oil seal. Man what a pain when you trying not to spend money. Well I deecided to buy 4 new 720cc injectors and I also picked up a used j-spec turbo that is in good running condition for cheap. I swaer these cars know when you don't want to spend money on them. Well the good news is that I should have the car running and tuned correctly by Monday. I may not have the new turbo put in but I can do that on my own later. Sorry for being long winded, but I just wanted to vent about my car being a pian.

I know that it's gonna cost money but I just wish it would wait for a little while.
