If those springs aren't enough, go with some drop in duals. That should take care of it. However, I'd wait until Alex re-tunes it on the Superflow Dyno to see if you still have that issue since you have a WG on the x-over now.

Yes Rob did tune it and did a good job. We are putting it on the dyno today to see how everything looks and play with it some.

Yes, it is what you said.

Go re-read what I "asked".

Here's EXACTLY what I asked:

Are you saying he should do double valvesprings to help him?

I'm confused, also, what's the reasoning of going with doubles vs CC 918s?"
I didn't deny your claims. I didn't give you crap. I asked for clarification and an explanation. Nowhere did I say you nor anyone else was wrong. Please read what I typed instead of inferring what you think I mean. It's much easier to just address my questions literrally. I just asked simple questions.

I gave my reply above that you quoted due to the answers that MM provided (which you acknowledged as correct) to the questions I posed to you.

There is no optimal pressure ratio, just just need to cam needs etc to whatever pressure ratio your setup has. You cant get closer to 1:1 ratio with race style/effecient setups

Guys who know what they are doing building a turbo motor from the ground up, Im sure sure you will see cam specs that 99% of guys on here would say that they are running the wrong NA cam in their turbo motor

PSJ, valvesprings are about the most critical thing in the valvetrain, ESPECIALLY in forced induction stuff. Think about the heat an exhaust valve sees w/ turbo, how much its tolerances will change, what heat can do to valvesprings, the pressures that are on the valve faces as its trying to close.

I guess what I mean is you want no more than 3:1 ratio, 1:1 being perfect and 2:1 being in between, I agree valvespring are the most important part of a FI setup

How in the hell does someone owe you money for something that they never sold to you? You did not buy this car from Raymer, nor was it a new vehicle. From what I have heard, you have never spoken with Rob. I wish people magically owed me money also - Alot of people would be indebted to me. I am not choosing sides here, but I am just saying this is a ridiculous claim on your behalf. If you have a beef with the car you purchased, take it up with TurboChad. However, if the problem is not related to "deception" on TurboChad's behalf, then you have no grounds to make any claims.

You know what I find funny is that I heard a little story that you did not even come look at the car, but still bought it anyway? Why would you do this? What are you expecting from a 127K mile vehicle? Do you want that showroom condition?

When Chad bought this car, he did nothing but praise it. He had no major complaints, and I find it hard to believe that anyone would complain about a burnt out headlight and complain about someone "oweing" them. You come on here and insult people, saying they are liars and con-artists (basically, with a few choice words of your own). Replace your headlight bulb, work on the foglights, and fix whatever other problems that you may experience with a 127K mile turbo car. If the car came with a warranty, then I could understand what you are saying. Warranty as in mechanical warranty anyway, not normal maintenance such as a lightbulb. Be professional and attempt to handle this the right way instead of coming on this board and slandering people to accomplish absolutely nothing. I am sure that after all of this crap, they will be pleased to help you out.

Here's a tip: When you purchase a car, you may want to look at it. It's not a $5 purchase man.

Wow I couldn't have said it better myself! He is complaining because he says it leaks oil, the brake light is missing, the fog lights had moisture in them and some other very minor issues. I told him when I sold him the car it was not perfect, but super nice for the year and miles and extremely fast! He bought the car for 1/2 of what it would take to build it and now he wants me to pay him money back for tiny crap that you should expect to find on any modified 127k mile car. He is even making law suit threats!!!

I think anyone who knows me or the kind of vehicles I own and the way I take care of them can more than take up for me on this one. Hell like I have said so many times, the car was not even for sale! He pm'd me and said he was going to do a buy me now on Ebay and asked if I would sell him the car, so I did.

Dude buys a 127kmile used car, sight unseen, as-is, and goes in to bitch and moan mode because of dewey foglamps? NO car with 127k is going to be 100% problem free. Did you just fall off the turnip truck or something? Nobody asked you to buy it. You didn't inspect it before hand. I see any sort of "lawsuit" being laughed out of court on this one.

EDITED my earlier comments to reclarify:

I locked this thread because it lost it's way, due to folks going on an on about a used car purchase with some issues. I ask folks to take that stuff private and out of this tech forum. And that was the only reason.
