I am so pissed!

[D Money]

So as most of you know I was supposed to get tuned yesterday...well didn't happen and this is the reason why. I never buy used parts, ever! But the one time I do I happen to buy an Apex'i AVCR from this kid in NJ off of NASIOC, which he stated was in working condition. So the installs are done, car is ready to get strapped on the dyno under the impression the AVCR is going to get my boost where it needs to be for the new turbo. Plug it in after all the wires are ran, nothing. Andy from Xotic which did all the work is a guy who can do anything, so he opens the AVCR and shows me, it's fried and will not work. Well I pm'd this kid and waiting on his repsonse on what he wants to do, if he doesn't make any effort to compensate me I still have his adress and phone number so...(insert imagination here). So...ending story Andy gets me a street map to get home, which is only on wastegate pressure (14psi), thank god for him or I woulda been beat! Now the only thing that made my day a little better is that he said that the car has more power at 14psi than the 18g wrx he just tuned at 19psi, so I know it's going to rip.

I cannot wait for this thing to get tuned, Andy is the man and I can count on his work.

BTW the external setup is absolutley the loudest thing ever, in traffic on 95 on the way home I must have scared 10 ppl when I got into a little bit of boost, even though I didn't bring it above 4500rpms since it's not tuned.

[USARARE1]

It will work out... I would go after the guy though...get my money back $$$.

[MPowerKai]

Hope everything works out ok, try not to let the situation escalate too much

[DoubleOughtCel]

Kick him in the nards.

If the head unit is fried I have one that works, but the actuator is fried on mine. Let me know if you want it we'll work some thing out.

[D Money]

What head unit? The wiring is fine, we tried my friends Greg's with his 1.6 bar map and it worked fine. I just need the avcr unit, do you have one?

[koho2731]

yea I have the main(controller) unit. Also a good pressure sensor for the AVC-R

[silver05bullet]

there you go u should try that the controller works on this kids the solenoid works on yours put 2 and 2 together you have one working avcr, then get the money from the kid you bought the effed up one of of and kick him in the nussack

I don't know what every it's worth to you. My car and my AVC-R is in Pa right now,but I should have I back by next week. It would oly be smart to hook it up to your car and make sure it works. We'll work some thing out

[D Money]

well let me know a price before I buy a brand new one tomorrow.

[koho2731]

$100.00? as I said we'll work some thing out

[Gorilla Unit 33]

manual boost controllers FTW ive seen too many mishaps with electric ones

Congrats on getting your car back...sorry to hear about the AVC-R. See your enjoying the ext. wastegate as much as I do.

[D Money]

Yes, very much so Huff. I love the external gate, even though I cannot bring it past 4500.

[S4toSTI]

Dimitri keep at him for a week with pms if he doesn't get back to you call him this friday. Then its visitation day.

[TehWagon]

sorry to hear about your luck- that'll happen but its rare... they do have that new buyer/seller feedback thing on nasioc- if the guy turns out to be a dbag about it you could always ruin his rep and help prevent other people from falling into a similar trap that way...
