Dan Turner tuning ability and "Banned status"

it's a real shame that without an explanation from Dan none of us will ever know more details into the other side of the story, After all this he will probably be less inclined to speak about it ever again.

 

Having an engine fail during a mapping session must be traumatic, I have never liked to see mine on the rollers, especially as my old car started missing at higher revs... but its a nescessary evil!

 

It sounds like being a mapper is a precarious job, I wonder just how many "top level" mappers have lost engines.. How can you find out how fast you can ride your pushbike unless you fall off? I am gutted for tooquick though.. I would take the news worse than you I feel.. who knows - it could happen to any of us tomorrow.

 

 

Michel has a point if he warrants the engine under it's mapping session having built it himself.. that is a big plus point to consider.

 

Interestingly enough I have also witnessed a well known members single pulled off the dyno by a well known mapper mid tune.. he refused to go any further as he didn't like the sound of it.. a subsequent compression test found a loss on no 6 (post previous fuel pump failure). Well diagnosed and engine saved, so it can go the right way... That tuner also found himself up on the wall!

 

Lets all be thankful we are still here and can drive following the sad news of late.

 

Mike, don't know if you've missed a point or two.

Michel's arrangements arn't questioned.

Dan did use too much boost when mapping Dean's car so it was his fault, why he decided to push this car to hard is beyond me...if he over clocks all engines like this I think he's heading for a fall.

Dan lied to the forum and said AEM wanted to sue us.

Dan refused to explain his actions, especially around Dean's engine.

 

Dan is a real enigma at the moment, he seems to do traders car's excellently....but then lets himself down on Joe Public's.
