Admin's video almost only focuses on blaming the copper gasket but the reasoning is half truths and skips over many issues. They show how the forged and heat treated piston head shows no heat damage completely skipping over the pitted oem valves.

Anyway I was most shocked by Admin's IAT timing adjustment, or lack thereof. There is no timing change from intake temp from -20C (-4F) to 70C (158F). That just seems so lazy or careless.
I think you are correct, in my opinion they are just second tier car owner or runner. The owner got money, but all wrong decisions, why he bought SOHO engine and unknown turbo kit and let admin tune it? I would just let SOHO freestyle everything. All what the care is not about car at all, they don’t worth to tune out or drive a monster machine like this. All of them are not faithful at all, no respect to car
