LOL...its there and they're working on it, they've had it since around 11am EST. It should hit the dyno after a few fixes.

1 - Hallman MBC install
2 - Mishimoto Radiator Shroud Installed
3 - New O2 sensor installed
4 - New gasket (s-pipe to cat)
5 - New drive belt

Then it should be ready to be tuned.

Toan noticed that my motor, doesn't vibrate, but moves quite a bit. He said they would look into it....the only thing ever done to it is polyurethane motor mounts so with hope it isn't anything major.

Chris said he would keep me up to speed on things so i'm taking the no phone call as good news.

I loved the shop, it was spotless. The dyno was state of the art. I have never seen something in such immaculate condition.

The techs were so cool, I didn't meet MrC but I did met Jeremy (I suck with names so hopefully I remembered that right) and he was so cool.

I love everything about the place. I didn't even feel the need to take the expensive things out the car before I left or lock the glove box LMAO

Toan specifically remembers Jon's tC (CarbonXe)....this was probably the best 11 hours spent driving ever and I haven't even gotten the car back.

Not to mention they hooked me up with a free rental car for the day and I will have to pay for the 2nd day which is cool because it is still at a hell of a discount being that i'm under 25. The only downside is the car is a Chevy Malibu, new model, it just sucks though

The same thing you've been saying to me for months; that your tune is dead on and hasn't given you a single problem. So that would be a good starting point, Toan said he literally has tons of tunes for tC's with the F/IC so he's pretty good at it basically.

Trying to get to 10psi. Even with the 10psi WG spring i'm still getting 7.5 to 8lbs of boost, never getting the full 10. I'm hoping with the MBC I can get to 10. I have the 2.5" Magnaflow catback exhaust.

Yea, I've been keeping him up to date with it. I actually just gave him the 6 month update of 0 CELs, 0 re-learn, etc.

This may sound dumb, but is your MBC hooked up properly?
