BTW, Rob since I know you'll see this... I sent you my "parts to buy" email list under the email subject "QMP sucks..." figured you wouldn't miss that subject line. lol. I'm estimating roughly $5000. Let me know if that's gonna be +/-... thanks.

no accually it wasnt a lie because you were telling me somthing different,so since im a lie all the time this asking about my kit dropping boost must just be to occupy my self,and as far as the spelling sorry im not perfect like you,i guess thats two mistakes ,doing buisness with you and spelling wrong,
also i have no way of posting my dyno graph since i dont have a scanner,

i dont even know why im typing explaining my self,since you are usless and obviously have issues,so from here on out i will just ignore you.

Rob, do some research before you blame me for the tuning.Don't you think we moved the tune around to see if it affects boost drop off? As Transdammit did say and I have seen for myself, the kit itself had many leaks when recieved.The intercooler was leaking at welds severely and a few other pipes leaked. You blamed the tune then too! Transdammit is just looking for answers to why his boost drops?Obviosely this is not the first time someone has had this problem.There has been some good advise so far and has helped.From what I last heard boost was holding pretty good and only dropping 1-2lbs compared to 4-5lbs.

I would say the exhaust side is very tight with no leaks and the motor itself is in good health.The car was tuned on the dyno before and will be hitting it again this weekend to recheck A/F.Of course someone here should just buy a Wideband and make life easier

Thank you to all the guy's giving Transdammit advise.I'm sure he'll finally get this car 100% really soon

BTW- J Spetter is the Man with Turbo's.He is at our shop alot foing DFI cars.Too bad he doesn't touch LS1 Edit

Good point, Job doesnt do edit...wasnt thinking along those lines.

Having a turbo is like being addicted to crack and having a problem cooking the rock.

Gregggg, Shot in the dark, but isnt e-boost in bar? maybe it is a little screwie?

I also feel the spring may be a slight issue, (mine where even with a controler).
Lastly i had a huge drop one time, my hoses all looked fine, but i replaced ALL hoses and clamos, and it was fine. stupid things first. thats ussualt the culpret.
I have the inovative wide band o2 thingie maggigie, if you want to use it to help with tuning. let me know.
Lastly, i realy hate that ls1tech is like a dam grammer/spelling sesion. i suck at both, but what does everyone care?

Glad to see there's no bias here by the Mods again. I posted my response to being called a "tool" by Slowhawk and it mysteriously got deleted. However, I see that Slowhawk's post remains. Nope, no bias on this site.

Once again I'll make the same offer. Bring me the car and I'll fix it and dyno tune it for FREE.

I can do no more.

I edited Slowhawk's post, I'm getting sick of the name calling and flame fanning. I am going to delete every thread with QMP in it if this crap doesnt stop. As far as being biased there is no conspiracy for the 100000000th time.

Rob made a good offer, if it were me I would put the car on a trailer and take it there. If he cant fix it then let us know but this high school BS has to stop.

thats a heck of an offer id take that up, bring him the car!

And Rob look on the other site, they are far worse, all the post flaming you are still up. we try to take care of the post filtering the crap and harsh words out, ive censored both parties flame words, the only bias we have is against any negitive post.
you can speak your mind just dont get to the point on insulting others or picking fights with them.

Look guys, I know you SAY there is no bias, but it's obvious to PLENTY of people. Yesterday I was called a "lying scumbag" in the topic, yet it remained up for 30 minutes. Then I responded with only my side of the story, and within 3 MINUTES, my post was removed and the thread locked.

Then in this thread, I'm called a "tool" for something I DIDN'T EVEN SAY! Slowhawk claims I blamed Transdamit's problems on the tuning, WHICH I NEVER DID. Re-read my posts....I only said that the tuning MAY BE THE PROBLEM. LOTS of things may be the problem. How can I possibly diagnose every scenario from 800 miles away?

Smokinhawk - I'm not the one who started the name calling! Geez. Did you even read the posts??? I offered my help and questioned several possibilities. Then I get hammered. So whatever.

For the 100th time what happens in the other sections the mods here cant do anything about so it doesnt need to brought up here. Sure you can say it appears that everyone is against you but what do you expect in this thread - you jump all over warbird and not once in his post did he insult you so you did the exact same thing to him as slowhawk did to you. Sure he may be wrong but as you yourself just said its virtually impossible to diagnose a problem like that from 800 miles away and its all just a guess.

This one is close to being done, I feel bad for trandamit because he obviously has an issue and needs help. You made your offer to fix it and leave it at that. Any post in this thread that doesnt contain specific technical help will be deleted from this point on.

QMP has offered to fix it/address it/look at it, what else can you ask for... If you want to continue to trouble shoot over the web, at least start of a list of things to check and show whether you tried it... like: (making it up)

incorrect e-boost settings
w/g problem
leaking turbo flange
cracked manifolds
leaking intercooler pipes
cracked intercooler

Focus on the next step.

Free fix and a Dynotune?
Sheeeittt, there you go Gregg, how can you pass up an offer like that? I would gladly drive from ALB NM to Indiana for an offer like that if I couldn't get the car to run right.
