Scott Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I would be absolutely raging. You have paid and you agreed to the service though so all you can do is show your disdain. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 That is absolutely appauling! Apart from the uneccesary Apexi Neo, those parts would only take around 6-8 hours to fit (and thats for a numpty like me, much less for a professional). The Neo is a nice to have, but is by no means needed. It should help remove that little lean spot during 2nd turbo spool, but mine worked fine with the stock ECU for 35k miles and still had perfect leakdown results afterwards... You've been ripped off big time looking at those charges. Which garage was it that did the work? Edit - £545 for a Neo!! You could have had a full standalone for the same money. Feckin hell...

SupraD06 Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 like i said at the time i was clueless about the cost of parts for the car and feel like a right C'#t now, oh and they did only take 7 hours to fit but i got charged £75 an hour + vat nice ayy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 375quid to fit an intercooler!!!WTF?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 what sort of injectors should i be running at 412fwhp????? Stock ones, they are fine for much more, it's the spool up that the stock ECU struggles to provide fuel, not the top end. Anyway, it's the rear wheel HP you should be talking about, fwhp is just a guess made by the dyno. I was running my 6spd at 1.25 bar and it made 360rwhp with 11.2 afr's at the peak, this is with stock injectors and ECU (Reputable RR I might add, not one of those magical ones ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 i feel like ive been stabbed or rather f#';ked from behind, but seen as it was back in april what can you do??? with over charged parts and labour i recon ive just put the thick end of 2k through a shreader:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
