bugger all left to do. The car is dead stock. So really im just replacing bits and peices that dont look new enough for me, or making things work like they should. All i think i need now is possibly some new seatbelts, as they havnt been used in quite a few years they wont retract real well. I was going to wait till my other commodore came off the road before i register it but it seems a waste to have an nice low K BT1 sitting in a garage not getting driven. LOL.

[QUOTE=Duke57TT]Name the cars and the guys and why the engine blew up... I use Jakes. No problems here. he doesnt bull**** me doesnt get upset if i do some of my own spanner work and is always willing to help me if i have a question. He has done some pretty Hi-po VL's. I cant think of the guys name but a yellow VL, 25 head was some silly power figure like 475rwkw and they where looking for a bigger turbo for it. A mate of mine goes in next week to get his microtech tuned. its a RB25 6boost topmount big garrett etc etc. He has had plenty of LS1's turn up from other reputable tuners and re tuned. Plenty of Gen-TT kits he has fixed. has his own LS1 turbo kits. Has turbocharged bikes. Everyone has there preference when it comes to there engine builder/tuner. Everyone has good and bad points and have had an engine grenade at some point. I think its fair to ask that you dont slander a workshop unless it was you who it happened to. You dont know the whole story therefore casting aspertions like that isnt fair. as a matter of fact i know these people very very well and i had my car tuned there a few years ago with my old set up for a tune then i took it to sydney and they said that there was too much boost in it a lucky that it did not blow up. not telling people not to go there by all means do what you like

JAKE Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Uh huh to much boost hey... Thats bugger all information for a problem that could be cause by many things including wastegate creep and may have nothing to do with the workshop. What was actually wrong with it, takes more than to much boost to kill a motor? was there to much timing not enough fuel? Did you use different fuel? was the fuel old? all these things can contribute to issues later on down the track. I just reckon if your going to say someone is no good have a reason and all the information. Off hand statements or just because some other workshop said he was **** doesnt really justify baggin a workshop. Each to there own. I have no problems with him anyway. He has a very broad knowledge of most cars and what makes them go.

JAKE Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
