I have an 04 STi that had a few issues one of them being a CEL PO171 system too lean bank 1.

This morning i met for an appointment with Brens mechanic (Very friendly) and we got started right on time. As my install was nearing to an end Bren was already hooking up all of his equipment for the tune. Bren was kind enough to make a Leak Tester to find out where my leak was coming from, within 30 seconds the leak was found and corrected.

He then loaded the maps and we went for some road tuning but my car was still running on the lean side. Bren was able to listen to the car and run a few tests while driving the car to see how it was reacting to hard accceleration etc. and came up with a few possible problems/solutions.

Bren being the very resourceful person he is already had a MAF sensor handy and we switched it out with the one on my car and quickly noticed that the car was coming around. He then started going through his steps to get the car on track and running better. He by no means rushed my tune or anything, he took his time making everything perfect, more than perfect actually, My ecu #'s were way off the grid (thats a bad thing) but by the time Bren was done he had everything within specs/tolerances that put Cobb and the manufacturer to shame.

My car was throwing all kinds of problems at Bren but he was able to battle through them quite quickly which is possible when he is as experienced as he is working on Subarus. Bren is a very kind patient person who will explain to you step by step what he is doing to make you feel at ease.

In conclusion he took my car that was on the verge of blowing up and turned it around and made it into a ROCKET. A+++++

For the Price and the Service its a STEAL!!!
I recommend Bren to Everyone and Anyone i know.
