I am so farkin pissed off!!!!!!!!

[EnricoPalazzo]

Well i just got back from gettin my ebc and cam gear tuned.

I got farking sledged 450 bucks to do it. And the worst part is that i installed both the ebc and cam gear myself prior, so all they needed to do was tune them.

It took 6hrs to do the tuning, 6 HOURS!!! and they didnt even get what i wanted. They said it would hold boost heaps better then my bleeder, yet the results showed only 1 more psi was held to redline!!!!!!

Then he spent a total of 10 mins with the cam gear, only adjusted it once, and said, yeh this is perfect. When i told him that all the lines i know of make best power at 4deg, he told me he would only do 2. Then he told me each mark is 1 deg not 2, and im positive that u guys say 1 notch is 2 deg on crank? is this rite?

So i have no idea what the cam gear is set to, so im gonna have to pay someone else, or try do it myself now!!!!!!!!!!

Then when i go to pay, he tells me that he forgot to add 100 for sparkies, ( cos accoridng to them, iridiums are shit and platinums are the best), so i have to fork out another 100 for spark plugs that i didnt need or ask for.

So to sum it up, fark them, they can chase me up for that 100. i aint givin it to them. They ripped me off so hard. if they did a good job then the money thing woulodnt b so painful, yet the ebc is only marginally better then my bleeder that was fine, and who the hell knows how my cam gear is goin. This guy had no idea.

I feel sick now. PM me if u want to know who the company is. Most of u will already know. Dont post it here, and dont ever go there.

I should have learnt from steves experiences. They are liars, and basically rip u off. If u do ever go there, get a fixed price b4 they touch ur car.

fffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

**** man that shit hurts doesn't it dodgy bastards...

[TIMMMAYYY]

Ive only heard of one person being happy with the work they have done before. So many bad cases.

[hippy]

who is this?? dean pm me who they are so i can spread the word i think i know who it is already but i just wanna make sure.. sorry about what happened .. i know what it feels like to get ripped off by dodgy people in the car industry ... for some reason its rife and it seems to be industry standard practice ...

[Ronin]

I'd be interested to know so i can stay away from them. Im going to get my car tuned soon, now that i have but on a new turbo and cooler. PM me if you can.

[SR910]

i think i know who you are talking about. and i also have some good advice for you if you want it. Expecially if u want to get your car tuned ala ronin.

[Ronin]

Any advice you can give would be much appreciated sr910.

Unbefarkingleivable - mate you got majorly ripped off. I am gobsmacked.

Did they give you a quote before hand? I would love to know why it takes 6 hours to retune a car with a boost controller. I had a full dyno tune including plug change, then a retune with a bigger exhaust, redid all the off boost mapping, dialed in the cam (again), swapped wastegate springs and it cost less than that, and power fc hand controller isnt the most user friendly device in the world for tuning.

600 for a full map from scratch is one thing, but a tidy up with more boost?????????

[Rob]

Dean can you PM me also mate, want to make sure I never go to who you are talking about.

Rob.

[SR910]

John Keen at turbo tune could not speak more highly of him - full map done and time on hoist to take box off put it on to check why no engagment for $400 there. Also no problems. PM if you want information

craig at mad dat good work had many a thing done there

evan psi engineering- fabrication second to none literally, making all my surge tank (insane) and inlet manifold (art work)

mobile auto electrical - good work

hackham auto elec - cheap and good work, good for ac too.

Hower crash repairs - good work and good price, can be slow tho needs a bit of a ring every so often.

[Steve]

SR910, if you have had good experiences, dont feel too shy to post up the name.

I'll get the ball rolling. Boostworx has done the righty by me. Good work at a very reasonable rate.

[CheekyR32]

Im so sorry to hear that Dean thats so gay.

Im also dying to know who it is that you are talking about... ive been hearing lots and lots of good things about BoostWorx lately too..

[Clint32]

the first letter of their name cant hurt canit Dean

[Cubes]

What did it end up making atw?

[VIPERGTSR01]

[MattR]

What sort of prices are ppl charging for tuning a power FC in SA? State name and prices if possible.

[Cubes]

I won't be getting my turbo tuned there thats for sure.. LOL!

Ripping people off the way he is, he must be having money problems.

You don't replace plugs without telling the owner first.

The shop also has a little bit of a dirty unorganised feel.

What clenched it for me was when he started slagging off at RPM's and Tilbrooks dyno's.
