it was not electrical, i can say that, i had strong smell of fuel, and saw smoke, i immediately pulled over and turned the car off, i could hear what sounded like squirting/pressurized fuel. the car was up in flames, but i can say. it was not in result of the fuse being swapped out. just to...

I did this today! Not sure I like it.

lmao the car is a total loss, it burned for quite some time. nothing on that is worth anything. im going to wait for the insurance dance to be over, it has full coverage through geico. i will keep yall updated. but my guess is. nothing is of any value anymore., i have odds and ends in the...

throughout the years, of taking stuff apart, and not getting back to it in a timely fashion, bag and label your bolts, it has really been a forced practice, i would start something, and not get back to it for 3 months, by the time i got back. i forgot where the bolts where, or where they came...

p025c code still persists, fuel pump wont prime with door being open, or on ignition. verified ground, connectors, car starts. and runs for a second. and then seems to die, as if out of gas. added 2.5 gallons. gauge shows plenty of gas. car did run/idle/fine earlier. . evap code is gone. and...

car had a new 5bar MAP and 4bar PUT, it was coming up the amp.plaus. untuned. maybe that was the cause. i was just being overly worried i guess. how ever. 3 more codes to deal with. car was running fine, took it for a spin, just to make sure everything felt alright, there is some weird...

Those don't count.. doesn't fit the narrative

But people should definitely Not buy ANY tpc turbo because of some bad logs?. All companies have had failure. Dbv2 eqt mabo. Even the oem is38s had failure. Are you beating down the castle gates of all turbo manufacturers that have had failures?

i forgot about gary, he also has a tpc 770. pete that he tuned. sporty.. my self.. im not using this as gospel, or concrete evidence, im just spitting out shit. but if the whole thread is based on speculation and no real data. then i offered my fair share of experience to refute..

for what its worth, i have a tpc770, and i know of 2 others that are doing just fine, one of them, a member here is all over instagram whos been beating the dog shit out of a tpc20 and now a tpc770. so there is 3 that are not blown up. shrug.

10 years ago =-) to put things into perspective, im sure a stock GTI could beat a 250cc bike. this bike was jetted, intake and race exhaust/header... SI comes around at about 90-100 mph
