Sorry guys, in the middle of moving houses and have no time to pull pipes off. And for those of you having a little dig at me, how would u feel if u got talked into fitting F6 injectors and promised all these results and your car feels no different but you have $2500 less in your wallet. I'm not kidding when I say I can't feel ANY power difference, and my fuel consumption is worst....

Feel sorry for you mate! $2500 for nothing but more fuel use would hurt badly even if you were well off.

Personally mate I'm going by my post above.. You've made some extra kw's on paper.. But your only mod is injectors and tune.. AND IT'S RUNNING STOCK BOOST!!!!

You're not feeling any change on the BUM-DYNO, but if we can iron out the wrinkles (ie: Turbo Bent Fins) and you can get your boost turned up in the tune.. I bet she'll be making the 290-300rwkw's that most people are expecting you to make.. Though obviously I agree that you would be feeling the pinch on the hip pocket.. $2500 is pretty expensive for Injectors and Tune..

I'm failing to see why everyone thinks this needs to be name and shame convention..

(I'm not having a dig by the way at you or the tuner)..

I think the tuner has given his diagnosis of what is wrong.. When you pull the pipe off and post a photo these blokes will confirm his diagnosis or throw it out the window. Obviously telling you yours is stuffed and offering you another does raise eyebrows. Admittedly he shouldn't be shutting you down without listening to you and or discussing causes/solutions..

Another option is to take your car to another mechanic.. Get them to look at the turbo.. Get their opinion.. If they don't agree with your current tuner, take it back to him.. If he chases you away again, then by all means name and shame.. But if you jump the gun and hang the tuner.. You can almost guarantee he's not going to try and help you at all.
