T14PPA Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Come on guys, what happened to being helpful on here? the above is just arrogant imo, probably why you got a hostile reply back. I think it's great you're attempting to do this having not done it before, post up pictures of your space issue and lets see if we can come up with an easy solution Nick. Thanks nicholas thats what the forum is supose to be like. But ive now sorted the screamer pipe. I cut one of the sensor fittings on the downpipe and welded it shut. Then i cut the screamer down an re welded it. Its given me about 4mm clearence between downpipe and screamer which should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest follow their advice on the build, follow it through and you will learn lots...! My cars at Srd mate if your talking about my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Take you haven't read the whole thread as this is the 4th kit he's fitted And Paul's brought a cheap kit for him to fit I read the whole thread, perhaps this is the first time hes fitted this particular kit which is how I took it. Abit of encouragement wouldn't go a miss anyway would it? how would you feel if people mocked your build for choosing the none ball bearing slower spooling T51 turbo? you wouldn't be very happy I'm sure. I think it's commendable doing the work himself and lets be honest 99% of the reason you sign up to a club like this is to ask technical questions and receive educated responses.

Scott Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 If people dont agree with something they shouldnt say anything That's just a ridiculous statement, it's almost as ridiculous as this entire thread. If people didn't step in and disagree with stupidity then there would be a whole load more broken cars on this forum (not to mention the various other topics that aren't car related, the list is endless). Wrong advice is far worse than no advice, anyone who thinks otherwise is an imbecile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 This was all that was needed to a straight forward question . Yea tbh I don't get why people are being so rude. I would love to take on a single build on my own and learn as I go and ask for advice. There is absolutely no need for attitude in this thread.

Wrong advice is far worse than no advice, anyone who thinks otherwise is an imbecile. I agree with people giving opinions good or bad but as a forum the general idea is to help and encourage, after all that's what a forums all about. I wouldn't say this thread is ridiculous though as surely it's better to ask the question than not? I know in my industry I rather people ask if they don't know something than go steaming ahead and do serious damage. 2.

True but it's the fact he's sopose to have done a few kits in the past and wants to be a trader but ask a silk question That's what people mean, I'm all for asking questions and have done through out my build that's how you learn. We was just looking out for Paul and his car but now after his pathetic comments about me and my job I couldn't care less all I can say is good luck with the build!

dangerous brain Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Wow hasn't this gone all snotty? I think the general gist though is that if someone is entrusting their vehicle to someone else that they are paying to instal something such as a single turbo conversion usually it is expected that the person that is being paid to undertake the work would have at least a basic understanding of the work that was being performed. A fundamental lack of turbo system knowledge does not convey a great deal of confidence especially if the turbo kit has been cobbled together by someone else that has a lack of technical knowledge. This is how friendships get ruined and long term relationships spoiled. An effort undertaken in good faith and intention can result in too much collateral damage due to a lack of technical knowledge of two different people. That is why I believe people are justifiably concerned about the question asked in this thread by a person that is being entrusted with another persons vehicle. If it was someone asking about their own vehicle than the connotations wouldn't be quite so heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I agree with people giving opinions good or bad but as a forum the general idea is to help and encourage, after all that's what a forums all about. I wouldn't say this thread is ridiculous though as surely it's better to ask the question than not? I know in my industry I rather people ask if they don't know something than go steaming ahead and do serious damage. It is definitely better to ask than not, especially in this case. Lets be honest here, without the question and the answer it could be an engine rebuilt or a blown turbo at the very least. That's not my point though, it's simply a real worry that someone is taking on a major task while not knowing or understanding the basics. It leads me to wonder what other aspects of the build have been misguided. Only time will tell though, there's really no way of knowing. To add, just because someone is willing to do something for a bit of cash doesn't mean it's a good idea, I honestly find it a scary prospect. Sometimes it's required to protect people from themselves. However, I'm not defending some of the statements made in this thread..... it's gone way out of hand. In a similar situation I would have asked for an explanation of the function of the wastegate and how it influences the running of the engine. At least people would take my query seriously and not jump to the conclusion that I had no idea what I was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
