What do you think the customer said...
Had an Evo 6 in today with boost probelms which Stu and I spent a few hours on...
Ended up tracing the fault to lie within the MAP sensor for the AVCR - it was reading but only around 30-40% of the actual pressure generated by the turbo.
Rang the customer up to inform him of this - what do you think his answer was?

There are only 4 possible answers.

When do we find out the correct answer and is there a prize for guessing right?

The amusement was in the length of time will spent explaining different issues with the car, our diagnosis and what he needed to do from here. was a few mins and his ONLY words in response were:
"Is it faster?"

so your customer doesnt understand cars too much,takes it to an expert to get something done,then when he doesnt understand he gets publically ridiculed on the internet by the expert?good choice!

seems a reasonable question to me. the experts can waffle jargon on as much as they want but there is only one thing that customers with performance cars are really interested in.
