I had told you before I sent the car to you that it had overheated, and that after that it would start to overheat if boosted for a while. I never stated that your workmanship was not at fault, and I had no choice but to pay you in full for fear of you selling my motor or car as you had just recently done to others.

At all times we had air temp indications. Fuel pressure was correct and injector duty cycle was spot on for the HP produced at every RPM break.
I went ahead and sent the logs and maps via e-mail to RickyB who informed me and you that everything checked out perfect. After that I haven’t heard a word from you until this post.
Your comment that we had the lines screwed up just ammaze me. Just wonder how we were able to get the injector duty cycles and the tune correct if every thing was setup the way you are trying to indicate. Do you realy want to make me believe that after all the comunication between us that I would overlook or install the lines like you indicate... please give me a breake.

Are you saying that it is impossible for the car to have been shipped with the IAT sensor unplugged and Vacuum hoses messed up?
It is a fact that there were problems with the tune when I received the car. Upon doing some logged runs, I noticed the IAT was at -20* and stayed there. I found the IAT plug tucked neatly behind the fuse box.
You also stated that the boost gauge would not register boost. The boost gauge worked when I sent it to you. Yet when I hooked it up directly and tested it, it worked but was reading 5psi low. It also registered vacuum. I also checked the FPR and it did not change with the way the vacuum lines where set up when I received the car.
Did you or did you not connect a vacuum hose from the Intake Manifold to the Valve Cover? This same vacuum line was hooked up to the FPR and the boost gauge through several T's.
After you re-installed the motor and re-ran the vacuum lines, you noticed that the boost gauge did not work. You blamed it on a faulty boost gauge instead of faulty installation.

By your own admitance you said that the boost gauge did not work when you had the car. It worked fine when I sent it to you.
How is it possible that the boost gauge did not work with the vacuum hoses hooked up the way that you had them, yet it worked fine once I hooked the vacuum lines up correctly? Maybe the boost gauge did not work for you because you had the vacuum lines hooked up incorrectly?
Please see my post
here from June 20th asking for help with this problem.

As you can see I clearly had these problems and am not making them up. Chris says that it is impossible that he could have made a mistake and that it must have happened during shipping. How does the IAT sensor get unplugged and tucked behind the fuse box and the vacuum lines get re-routed during shipping? Are we supposed to believe that those pesky shippers played some sort of practical joke on me and figured out how to open the engine lid, remove the intercooler piping, remove the throttle body, and then unplug the IAT sensor and tuck it nicely behind the fuse box, and while they were at it, they figured they would reroute the vacuum hoses for good measure? Or is it possible that Chrisk could have made an easy mistake and instead of owning up to it, he is frantically trying to place blame elsewhere?
Chris, did you do all of the labor and installation of my motor yourself or did you have someone else do part of it?
Chrisk, on your web page dedicated to me, please post a link to this thread for all of the world to see. Or are you afraid of people reading the whole story?
