Gazboy Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Simple question- if you paid XYZ to have an Emanage fitted and mapped, then your engine went bang on the way home, which tuners would say "that ain't my problem mate" and which would investigate the problem and fix it FOC if found that their map was at fault? It's a general question btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Good question mate, but at the end of the day I think its more than likely to go bang on the rollers than on the way home, and should it be down to a mapping issue then I don't think that person should be doing that job!! But interested to see the outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I guess you should inspect their liability insurance covers them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 The way I see it is there are two reasons for the big bang on the way home. a) Failure of a part on a 13 year old car or b) Failure due to mapping, ie fueling\ignition. Lets remember that we are exerting greatly increased forces on a car, and it's components, that were built to run 300 odd bhp and built a number of years ago. Failures will happen. However, if you could prove that the the failure was due to ignition for example, then you may have a case for recompense via the tuner, and this should be covered by a reputable tuner. Dont know if it is tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 When Ian C mapped my car, he gave me a hard copy of the map on the CD. So if something went bang i could have it check by someone else. I have had issues that have been covered by turbofit that were not even there fault! e.g New Toyota part failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 You can spend 48 K on a Judd V10 full rebuild and if it goes pop on the builders dyno you won't get a penny. Any tuner who gives a warranty on a seriously modded engine is rather unusual, and probably naieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
