I'm sure that's the same guy on 3Si trying to sell NA motors as 4-bolt. Go figure. He edited it now, but people gave him shit right away.

Per Greg's request. I would post it in the 3si thread, but as a mod I feel it's inappropriate for me to do so. So Greg, you are free to use the pictures LOL.

You guys are really easily amused.

at 32 psi I was trapping 160 s
wastegates wired shut high 160's best of 173mph.

This one was a little bizarre.
I got this email exchange after helping the guy on trouble shooting his car and confirming it was an ecu issue.
He shotguned the issue on his own first.
It was a short 5-10 min check to confirm it was the ecu.
anyway....
It reads from the bottom up.

You sent me back a case that was all scratched up. I replaced the ecu in the case. I'm not sure what you want. I am also not sure what you mean about stripped screws. I didn't strip any screws. I thought I did quite a bit to help you out. I'm not sure why you are so upset. Go ahead and post what ever you want on the forums. I am very happy with my customer service. I think your thread will let everyone know what kind of person you are and how you treat people who help you out. I think you are burning a very knowledgable bridge here. Let me know.
Thanks
Adam

So you are saying that you removed the circuit board from the unit I sent you and replaced the non working part with a new one. Sent it back to me in the original case with stripped screws on the sides and called it new all for $625. ?
I will contact 3SX about this . They sold it to me and then I will be sure to let all the forums know that this is the what you get with the chrome warranty.

It was put in the exact case you sent me.

OK, I received an ECU unit yesterday. It is not a new unit but a refurbished one. I purchased a new unit on 9/26/15. I received a non working unit. This should have been replace immediately instead I got a run around to continue trouble shooting the car. I spent numerous hours testing , replacing parts and rebuilding the car only to find that the unit which was apparently new was a failed unit. No body has paid me for all my time scewin with the car. No one has reimbursed me for return postage and you have the nerve to send me a refurbished ECU.
Here is what is going to happen,
You are going to send me a brand new working unit. When it is installed and working in the car I will send back this refurbished unit with the UPS prepaid shipper label you provide. I will also get a refund for the return shipping I paid to send you failed unit back.

It's funny he doesn't understand that the none of the ECUs are new, they are all refurbished in one form or another.

Your customer service has always been top notch with me!
