Turbo Piston Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey mate, I doubt he will admit to any wrong. If I were you, just go to another workshop. But go get a few opinions too from different workshops.

265kw at the wheels holmes Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 I did go to another workshop and they told me that standard injectors world only handle 210kw and i have proof that mine did 265kw. they also said that my turbo wouldn't handle over 250kw but is has, twice, on two different dynos. so i don't know who to talk too.

Equinox Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Standrd RB25DET injectors will do more than 210rwkw for sure. But 270 is too much. Do you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator?

SirRacer Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Been there done that with this sort of issue.... a number of times. Unless you can prove their work is the cause of the problem you probably going to have a hard time getting any money back. If it gets nasty id give them the option to fix and tell them you will trash their business as much as you can if they dont. Threaten to post an add in a local paper or something like that.

DAN00H Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 be reasonable 1st - see what the guy is offering. if he wants to charge you 5k+ to rebuild the engine, then see if you can reach some sort of agreement. if he won't budge you can always talk to Consumer Affairs. as most have said, yo may be better off going elsewhere.
