hey every one, just wandering if any one knows if power play imports are still operational, as i ordered a set of valve springs a month ago, havent heard from them since they got the money, wont respond to emails and their phone is dissconected

Not responding to my e-mails either

Yoou used to hear good things about this shop, I never dealt with them as I thought they were too pricey, but they had some happy customers.

In more recent times I am seeing on here that people have had problems with them.

Its pretty poor taking money from people once you know you can't deliver. I am sure they would have known a week or so before they closed down.

I too, bought something on Jan 18, was given a 10 day eta (all was fine, and so on).. tis now March 23. Tried to call, and phone is disconnected.

Its also entirely possible they are just having problems with their phone :P

dk, i rocked up a week ago in the middle of the day just because i was in the area. place looked deserted, dust gathering in the shop etc,

own story is bringing my non boosting turbo there (wasnt making that swoosh sound..yes i know im a noob) anyway both brothers looked at it and told me i needed a new turbo.

booked it in for the week after but in the meantime a mate had a look and told me it was just the actuator flap/gate that had come loose. he fixed in five minutes with some basic tools. pretty much ruined the place for me though im sure they have done some good work in the past.

met the girl who seems to run the place at a few track days and she was always friendly, so mixed emotions hearing of their demise.

i just got my parcel after a month and a half, and it took an email, saying i will be contacting consumer affairs and possibly taking legal actions, it was express posted within the next two days, my advice is, look some where else

No a parts shop mate.. And with pp there is never anyone in te shop anymore. No one goes there. They are too pricy and the service has gone down hill. Wind back maybe 3 years ago and things were not so bad :-). Sad to see what happens to some people :-( and yes i would deffinitly recommend using the consumer affairs/ department of fair trading card as that may be the only way you will see your orders.

its pretty sad really, but I no longer deal with powerplay. I have bought 4 cars through them over the years previously though, and Ali is the most honest and thorough mechanic I have ever dealt with. But these days too many people have paid but not received goods.

Ask Christan that runs these forums about what happened when he left a car there to sell on consignment.

Ali - what a waste of a magnificently knowledgeable technician! I hope he bounces back!

Robert was a fine one himself - and honest.

Tosh who did a lot of co-ordination left about 4 years ago and he was a real good communicator.

Great. Read this the other day and just my luck.....

About 2 weeks ago I went there to put down a deposit on some coil springs after contacting them a few days before that. They looked like business as usual and some good stuff there too.

So now you are pretty much telling me I will not get my parts, or a refund of my deposit? :angry:

yeah thats the one, so do they look open again? curious about the ongoing saga.

odd so many conflicting reports as to their honesty/reliability though it seems like the golden days are long past. must be a good reason behind this?

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
