And boy is it slower then ever..?? All they did was an oil change and inspection. Feels like how it was stock, im guessing they flashed my ecu? Im running a xpt map... i checked the hose lines none are off. God do i hate dealers.... any suggestions?

They didn't flash your ECU...Hook up your access port and try to load another map. If they flashed your ECU then your screwed and ur AP wont recognize it.

I'm done with dealers for a while. I was going to the dealer where I bought the car for 4 years.

Last weekend I flushed all the major fluids, and changed the oil.

My friend is a retired mechanic with over 20 years experience in Toyota and Subaru. He drains the oil.....and the stuff just keeps comming out. The pan is about 7 qrtz in volume and it was almost full. 6 qrtz of oil in the engine, where the manual says 4.8.

Ever seen Scarface? "who put this thing together? ME, who do I trust? ME." ya...that about sums it up.

Anyhowz, hook up your ap and see what's going on.

Sorry, i just got back from LA. I dont have an AP anymore. I run a XPT map. ill reload the map tomorrow. If that doesnt work then im going back to them with some attitude. I know they wont do much, but hopefully there will be people there and i can make them look bad. Im done with dealers. I was hesitating to even take it in...

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with XPT map; what is this?

Reload your map and check your oil level. They may have over filled your engine which will add excessive windage which will rob you of HP.
