CardiffSupra Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 My guess is 445bhp. From what I can understand all you have done is sent your Turbos off to be refurbished. It's Just not possible sorry mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Just not possible sorry mate. BUT IT IS POSSIBLE! his tuner said so and his waste gate set up is just the definitive engine modification!

Homer Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 BUT IT IS POSSIBLE! his tuner said so and his waste gate set up is just the definitive engine modification! The wastegate mod is the thing that gets me, it makes no difference to power, it only allows the boost to be controller better than the the stock integral wastegate.

Nick Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I don't think I've seen anyone take as much stick since the "where are my turbo's thread". Sadly you've been mislead and you won't be the last. Most of us have been there, I know I've fallen for some 1st class b*llshit in the past and it's cost me a lot in both time and money. It's all part of the learning experience, so when this is over have words with the tuner and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I think the guys taking all the comments very well considering This is exactly why I think it's a wind-up. We've had many a dreamer on here before & they all act in exactly the same way, defensive, throwing toys about pram, eventually getting abusive then being banned.

Firestorm Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i bet he doesn't even show up on monday. then he'll be back on here with the excuses. to be honest, i dont think ive ever encountered anyone with such a firm belief in what they're tuners told them, but have very little information about how and why and the actual physics incurred.. but then i suppose he is trying to make a sale and playing the " thats what ive been told" card gets him the " oh im gonna have words with my tuner" line when he finds out that this is all bullshine. From the engine bay pic is there any tell-tale signs of being wrong? oh and im sure some chavy will buy this crap and buy his car only to rag the crap out of it and blow the engine 3hours after handing over way too much for car that has too little. If you think about this- its the biggest insult and slap in the face to the guys who have slaved over their cars, spent thousands of pounds for their setup, and then have this clown tell them that they are wrong.

Nic Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ive been up the unit all day talking to him saying to him "you dont realise how important this is" he said "i know how important it is ive read all of this and am certain we can do it Perhaps he can come on here and explain exactly what modifications have been done. Still interested in seeing photos of the external wastegate mod. Any pics yet? It would be really interesting if the tuner could explain the full extent of the mods and setup.

supra10000 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The GZ model is the top of the range with all the extras, just a quick look at your pics and I see no cruise control for a start. Whats the model code? It is on the chassis plate and will start with either AL or AJ No it doesnt have cruise control but it had an active front spoiler climate control dunno if the others had this or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tuner has said that if it doesnt reach over 550 he will take the car and do whatever work needed free of charge.
