This week, I found a performance specialist business here in my smallish town. Didn't know they even existed, but talked to a freind who is into riced out Toyotas, and he told me about them. Actually I was looking for someone who could do a crank re-learn for my new Performance Autowerks ECM (besides the dealer that is).

Well I got hold of the business today and we started talking. Turns out he has done some work on Solsti (Solstices? ) including a couple of Hahn Stage 2 turbos. When I asked who he did it for, he only mentioned one guy. I knew the guy from a car show last summer, and asked how the turbo was running. Turns out he baked the engine last week.

I've read a lot on this forum about Turbos, Supers, 2.4 engines being strong, Dashhawk air/fuel mixture stuff, etc. etc. So far, had not heard anything about any baked engines.

Question - is this common? one in ten? one in a hundred? Anyone know? What risk will I take on if I do my 2.4 to Turbo or Super???

Probably the fault of the local shop who did it. Seems that guy didn't even know what a Dashhawk was. Didn't own a tech 2 or any other computer cal device. Not sure how he would have set up a turbo without it.
