Also of note and little known fact, you can only flash the stock ECU so many times before it literally smokes itself.

We had this issue at Speed1 on an S2 that we were trying to get running complete with turblow turbo kit. The owner eventually put the car back to stock and sold it.

Adaptronics pisses me off because on that same S2 we were told up and down that their shit would work, they've done it, blah blah blah. We only later found out that they were guessing and lying to us and using us as the guinea pigs... that pissed me off because it was me that was on the dyno for days with nothing but pure hatred and rage building inside me

Been there, done that too on the Diasio that we had. REW block, renni front cover, PITA to get the end play right (look at the difference in thickness between an REW and renni front iron), and IIRC we had to grind the front cover do the counterweight would rotate completely and then weld some material on because in grinding it we punched through the outside.
