A guy tried tuning my friends 1g for him saying he knew what he was doing.... Used an SAFC1 with a narrowband o2, unplugged the knock sensor and went to work. The exhaust looked like it had snow in it. Turbo wheel melted right off the shaft. Poor guy just paid the kid $5500 to build the car for him and only got like 50 miles out of the car total. Toasted the motor and all.

Ooops!
