Not only that but he has continued to bring the best prices to everything from flex fuel kit to turbo kit. I don't down any vendors on these forums because anything they share is by choice. I just wish ppl would realize how much information is being lost when you have to read through 50 pages of ppl bitching at vendors from across the states. Sometimes its easier to just sit back and watch.

I and brandon have kept quiet. I paid toni to tune my car more than others on this forum. Flex fuel kit comes with a tune... i paid that + a "fee" for re-tuning my car in person. Hell I didn't ask for a discount even. I made him estimated 4-5k proffit (after his cost) in 2 days work. Yet it wasn't a priority to make his "money makers" car run correctly. Not to mention I don't think MBT was actually tested for. My car ran like absolute shit since day 1. I directly told him what i saw going on and asked for resolution.
I was also sold his flex fuel kit being told it had been tested, and was sent a "prototype" with missing parts. I was given a 50 max psi line with E10 rating, and dangerous fittings. I had leaks from multiple places. I helped another shop deal with this that was also leaking. Pro tip: Make sure your fittings match your hose. @
Visconti showed us this earlier this year that it is extremely important to do so. Cheap corners cut and general carelessness can cause a serious car fire.
So I am sorry but he has not worked hard. You can buy a flex fuel kit by going to zeitronix and buying their V1 or V2 kit + a hose kit from your local auto parts store for $10.00 (I had to buy this as toni gave me an un-safe line originally). And then ordering 2x 2-5$ connectors and some fuel injector clamps. It actually comes up cheaper. Its not like its "magic" or anything...
Is it that hard to get my MAF scaling resolved so I don't see 20-35.2% fuel trims? Apparently so. And its also "cool" to have massive holes in the "fuel map" as quoted by my passenger (*COUGH* toni him self while driving him back to his hotel!). This was never resolved. Maybe try bumping the voltage on the low spectrum of the MAF sensor. Or simply reading my logs...
Apparently running stoich is also awesome while in boost in 4th gear.
Toni will be responding to this post talking about how flex fuel cant possibly report fuel trims correctly when in fact my car was 100% replicating the conditions of a fuel trim maxing out. Ignore his post, its 100% bullshit. It was simply a maf calibration & other misc overlooks. My car was an absolute nightmare to drive under 4,200RPM.
