Vrt.... :-(

I am sure that was done by Michael Alvarez himself.
The work that was done by Mark B at the begining was top notch and remains so today with the work he is doing at relentless.

I don't know what the hell VRT did it to my FX when they were swapping my TT+engine with other guys engine...but ye...I will let you know once I get my FX back from the dealership.
(there's more to it but I'll just leave it at that... point is he hasn't been driving the FX in a lil while...)

edit: I missed turbo Tim on accident.

Crazy, crazy stuff........
Probably would be good for everyone to send emails to the guys at Nissan Sport and let them know how you feel. Don't think we need any reference to VRT whether in an ad, in a story, or on the side of Ed's car.........

I doubt Eagle1 knew anything about what was going on. He seems like a pretty decent guy.

Yes this is very true.When Mark B was there,everything was going really well for VRT and they were building top notch cars,got hooked up with JWT,getting some real tuning doneby Jim and Clark,etc.....when Mark B left it went downhill very quickly. JWT, did not realize that things were going to take a turn for the worse. JWT is always busy and they really dont have the time to go and "check-up" on the shops they have authorized as an install facility. After hearing a few horror stories JWT figured out what was happening and revoked VRT's status as a dealer,installer or anything else to do with JWT. Jim has also put SFR on the list of authorized dealer and installer of JWT turbo systems

As they had a very close working relationship to the accused in these forums, and to my understanding, are physically close to the "scene of the crime", and again, according to what I have read in these forums, have tuned VRT installs, it really makes me wonder - were they just "blind" or what? I understand JWT has a great reputation, but they should have noticed bad installs etc if they were tuning these cars. And for sure, I have to wonder about how well they check out the dealers/installers.
Just a thought.

Gave you the software and a two hour tuning class? He should have just retuned your car in those two hours.
