Basically the afr's should be heading downwards to around 11.5 when going into boost, but instead they are going upwards!! By the time it gets to 300whp, the AFR's are at 13 which is stupidly lean and just asking for trouble.
I should have smacked the guy silly for allowing him to disable my meth injection too.
UGH I just don't wanna talk about it. Makes me mad.
Here's one of the runs. This was probably the 3rd run which didn't make much HP due to the really bad AFR issues:

At the end of the day HE IS THE PROFESSIONAL and providing a service to the public which you paid for, he has to know what is safe for your engine and what is not. He CAN NOT wash his hands of you. It is totally his fault as your car was in his care when he ruined it.
The court will side with you every time, it is not up to you to know anything at all about your car as you were paying for his service and it went bad. He owes you a car. What do you have to lose? He is required to have insurance.

It was actually only halted when I started waving my hands about as smoke poured from underneath the car. Had I have not been in the room at the time, they would have carried on.
As for the meth, he insisted that he disable it because if it ran out it could cause engine damage (no ****). I told him that I had a warning light for when the tank reached 1/4 full but he still insisted on tuning without it.
I already emailed him asking if he would correct the situation by paying £300 towards some parts I had found and using his own man hours to fit them (he is an engine builder) but he declined.
So yeah the next stage is court I guess. I just need to get out of this depressed slump and start getting angry.
I know you guys are right, I absolutely do. Even I as a complete layman to tuning (and cars in general) would have halted the dyno after 2-3 attempts at correcting the AFRs.

Gord Jim you told me to go for it re my wheel arch's, i did mate, and i really think you should do the same :thumbup:
I remember you encouraging Gord to take action. If anything, this is more serious than his wheel arches.
It's still sad to see the car broken up, but I know you have decided on that cause of action, but from the sound of it, this guy owes you, and is trying to pull a fast one.

Yeah, once I have a new car I think I'll be in more of a fighting mood and ready to take him on. I just need a new toy to lift my spirits and allow me to garage the IS while I drag his ass through the courts.
Even though the car is going back to stock it really needs to be fixed. The price of selling it as a non-runner is probably 2k less than I would get with it working.
But hey, if anyone wants to shoot me an offer for probably the most mint black IS300 in existence with a busted engine, I'm listening.

YOU have nothing to lose - hell I would even chip in a little toward the court costs - I'm sure others wouldn't mind too.
The longer you wait, the more you won't be inclined to do anything about it - it's human nature. Just sort it dude - really, you are in the right and he has to prove he did everything right.

Gord I think you are very wrong about selling for 2k less bit Jim IMHO, If it was worth 4/5k running your never going to get 2/3k for a non running car mate, very very few people would take it on, other than a mechanic or breakers yard.
When i was looking for an is300, there was one on ebay that needed new gearbox, now i was very interested (i have mate that has his own garage so fitting cost would be cheap) the car looked ok not mint but no sh***er also, it sold for less then £700 mate, but the point im making it, it sort of put me right of.
I am inclined to agree. Tell the garage to fix the engine or you will take them to court. Either way I would imagine the outcome would be in your favour.
Then once you have a mint Is300 with a great engine again, sell it for good money so you are not out of pocket.
