Gareth, how many times have you build an engine with a decomp plate?
and how many times has it gone pop??
not may i bet!!
also, just how many people have had probs with de-comp plates??
you always hear of people saying they are shit etc, but thats cos no one has actually done it themselves!
they arent as bad as you think if its done right, and a much cheaper option than going for a low comp bottom end.
not ideal i know, but fair play for trying!
