IF you can hold off for a few more weeks and get an maft pro and map sensors I can help you get it installed and setup and if you want we can do an egr delete to eliminate some of the usless junk under the hood...don't give up on it, I haven't, just been busy with work and trying to get my car done...hold out for a bit, save some cash and sell the safc2 and we can go from there...sound like a deal?

After enough time and money have been wasted...it begins to matter.

All in all, this thread makes me lol.

First of, had I know you(Carlos) didn't know a damn thing about your car or how it worked (i.e- when you asked me how the radiator worked, or what the afr's meant) I would have never sold or installed the kit on your car. I would have left it on my car and continued my build with that exact kit, but chose to go bigger cause I knew the turbo would support my goals in the long run.

Second, there was absolutely NO ISSUES with that na-t kit, and I have well over 50 people that will vouch for that here locally. The only problem was that you failed to learn the BASICS before you blindly jumped into things that are now obviously beyond your automotive comprehension.

Third, I also have people to vouch that your car was running 100% perfect after the last time you came here to finish the last bit of the installation. Your car walked all over a G35, was holding the afr's just fine while in boost at a beautiful 11.2. Only problem was in 3rd gear at wot it was going lean..thats part of the ODB-2 issue and compensation from the ecu.

Fourth, before your stock parts were removed(the bolts were seized, cutting was the only option at the time and you said it was fine to cut them, I asked you SEVERAL times) you were given more than enough warning that there was no turning back at that point. So with that being said, NO I wont and cannot dish out $60 to replace your stock manifold for you cause you dont want to take the time to learn about YOUR car and what YOU wanted done to it.

Final thing, the fact that you insulted me personally cause I didnt drive down to hold your hand when I didnt have work for 2 weeks and had to take care of my family is why I said dont PM/Call/Text/Email...YOU crossed the line. If you wouldnt have given up so damn easy, and would have looked in your "problem" thread, you would have seen that I offered not 2 days ago to drive down there to lend a hand in the next week or so. Unlike you, my mommie and daddy dont give me money when I need it. I work for the things I have, and I have bills and a family to take care of and they come FIRST, not YOUR car that you failed to learn about.



To everyone else, make all the assumptions about me you want, but the bottom line is this thread is purely fault of the OP due to know knowing the basics of automotive performance/maintenance/trouble-shooting. I have done nothing on this thread but try and give 100% accurate information to those who ask, or atleast point people in the proper direction if I didnt have the answer. I try to be fair, and not burn people to badly when they ask silly questions, or make a boo-boo and mess something up.

To those who have given me information or helped me out on anything, I thank you kindly, and hope that your kindness never backfires in your face. To the MODS, sorry this went public, didnt think he would cross the line 2 times in one day with me.

Im out, will take my information to a forum where people know WTF they are doing before they buy ****...peace out

THANKS DAVE



I was trying to keep it civil and between us, till he went and made it personal and public and again got me banned. The kit, labor and tune was all included in the agreement..and all was good the last time I had his car in my posession, then he got the car back home and started having one issue after another...if anyone was to go back to his problem thread, on the 31st I told him to give me some time and I would drive down there and help him out so he didnt have to scrap the project...but he spit in my face. I wasnt giving up on helping him, but he needs to keep in mind I am a father of 3, and I have a life as well.




Boston thank you for the kind words, but I think Dave will even ban this account just cause he has some kind of personal issue with me for some reason...Ill come back if allowed, but I would like to keep my original account, but again seems Dave like to jump to the negatives instead of talking to people and getting the whole story before banning people...

again, THANKS DAVE
