Guest shayz101 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 just like to give info on my awfull experience with westons peformance in solihull, took 96 supra tt there told them had big power loss over 3500 rpm,could they find problem,they put on dyno did 2 power runs which i thought was strange they told me had a blockage in exhaust system and boost controller wasnt working and charged me 200 plus vat,when went outside my engine light was on and just managed to get home,when home car would not start again when rang westons they said prob 02 sensors,again rubbish car has full bpu with both decats,had to have car towed to another tuner who told me in 20 mins second turbo gone but westons dyno had put into limp mode,they said awfull that they dynoed they could of caused massive engine damage,as it was it cost me another 460 to get out of limp mode before turbo repair also my boost controller was working fine,westons said 700 to replace when not faulty,so anybody thinking going there think twice you do much better going to a cake shop or somit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 £460 to get out of limp mode? Surely you just reset the ECU to do that (Disconnect the battery for 20 mins or so)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 There is no 'limp mode' on the supra ECU. Either way, it takes all of 10 seconds to reset the ECU. What on earth did they charge you for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Ive heard some shocking things about them and had similar crap service too, wouldnt go there if you paid me to. Who did you take your car to that got it out of the supposed :blink:limp mode ? Edited April 27, 2010 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 BTW, are you sure it wasn't just a boost hose popped off? How was the failed 2nd turbo diagnosed? If you do an error code check it'll tell you what the warning light was for (unles the ECU has been reset of course!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraHuman Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 You've been a member her for 3+ months and you take your car to some clown outfit nobody ever heard about? Why did you not use the one of the tuners here on this forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
