I didnt read it all but dont care to turn this into a fear thread... lets keep it to:

New Product Intro
Does it work
Does it fit
Whats the cost
How does it differ from others
what makes the differance better or worse

no fear/slander of the motors/company/ect

Just my opinion

Fine by me. I'm no basher. I've had 3 M96 cars and will likely have another one unless I break down and buy a Turbo next time. My 3.6 Boxster may keep me happy for a long time though.

Wouldn't that be fun, a stealth turbo. I wonder what a new TT engine would cost these days.

Few details here, but I'm too lazy to write about the project in detail. Plus I managed to lose some pictures.

There's some pictures about the suspension over here. Post # 23.

Jake yes it is. its just not instant gratification. I can tell you if i ever need major engine work, Guess where the engine is coming from? With out me buying the bearing from you. I woudl have never known about you. So yes.... IMO you need to sell these bearing kits. Just and observation

Shark,
Thanks for that..
You can't imagine the support thats required for the IMS bearing kits... Remember how many times I had to talk to you from my office, from the road and from home during yours??? Thats just a small exaple of what every bearing requires during install and people demand it.

Thats the reason why I stopped selling them, if any of us have to walk away from an engine to assist with bearing extraction/ insertion that could cost us that engine thats on the bench and that starts at 20K. I refuse to have anyone who doesn't install these bearings answer people's questions and assist them because that breeds problems like bent valves. We never had those problems because I didn't give them a chance to occur..

Now we just carry out the procedures and life is much, much better and the phone doesn't hold me hostage! With every kit sold comes the chance of absolute catastrophe if someone does something thats not smart, then we end up in all sorts of trouble.. If I am going to be responsible for something, I want to make the mistake that I have to "pay for" with my own hands.. Being responsible for the mistakes of others sucks!
