Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Shame. Always good to let the builder to do the tune :(

 

Hopefully it all turns out ok in the end.

 

Out of interest, how much are you expecting this 'run in tune' to cost?

Tomei built it.

The only person who knows what is going on is Sean. At the end of the day, he is a great tuner and hence why we have him on as a sponsor. He has a great deal of knowledge with these motors and also has a number of supporters. A lot of the people that use him speak greatly of what he does. However, not everyone uses him and anyone that has either built a car or required a major re-tune will tell you that these things take a lot of time. 

 

I can appreciate that it is difficult from your end as you just want your car back. Although it's been 3 weeks since you delivered it to Sean, there has been a few things that have come up in that time.

 

1) the fuel pump

2) he fell ill for a week

3) Jambo - a massive marketing opportunity for him that probably results in a lot of revenue for his business

4) the ECU

 

The added difficulty is when you have people who haven't built a car before asking why it hasn't been done yet. You've got a brand new engine which is worth some decent coin along with some very nice go-fast bits, you don't want this rushed and botched.

 

My 2c, speak to Sean and try and maintain a positive frame of mind. :) I know that it isn't easy, but that's what you need to do. 

 

Bunta and Colin had theirs tuned there and they were both quite nice and white and 32s and GT-Rs.... Creepy :P

+1 to this. The people outside of this situation are being quite inflammatory, insinuating somthing is broken, or that the tuner is being underhanded ect. Its not at all helpful to Ants or one of our club sponsors.

Ants, my advice is this. If you want an update every few days, ring up and ask. Every work shop I have ever dealt with operates like this. None of them will ring you unless they need something or its done.

Everyone else shut the f**k up!!!!

    • Your profile doesn't say where you are, but you can get your current turbo rebuilt by any competent turbo shop, places like Precision Turbos or GCG They can replace the core with a modern ball bearing unit and should be able to source same or slightly larger wheels to fit in you housing. Note if you change the core you may need new oil and water lines too
    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions
