    well maybe your buddy should have had you tune it to begin with. Just my ... Also, I'm led to believe he didn't want you to touch it to begin with.. Does he not trust your tuning capabilities?? If a good friend of mine could tune, professional or not, I would let my friend do it. Again, that's just my 2 cents

    Im sorry, I wouldnt allow someone to tune my car if they have no clue what a run-on sentence is. This may help you out some.
    Punctation

    If he seriously had a problem with it he should have immediately gone back to the shop. Now that you have done something to it, I feel as if its totally out of their hands now. You have interfered with the original tune which makes it no longer their tune. If something happens to the car, its YOUR fault.
    This is also my

    Not taking sides, but it is a pain when people use used parts and then blame the malfunction on the shop. Late last year, I had a repeat customer bring a used DVD player from his old vehicle for me to install in his dad's taxi. I had 2 vehicles ahead of him, but would be wrapped with them in like 5 minutes. So they showed me where the box was with the dvd player and told me everything was there. They were on a deadline, so as they were talking, I was knocking out on of the cars. They left. I get to the car and come to find out they didn't have the wiring harness to plug into the dvd player. I tried calling him and the dad. An hour goes by and he finally calls me back. So they come back by and come to find out he left it in the car, still installed, and the car is long gone. So the dad wanted to blame me because I was the "expert" for the harness not being there.
