We'll meet and you wont find im a complete cock like you think

You have a go at demeening me at every given opportunity, and even if it turns out that i may actually be right, ie:volvo turbo thread, it will still be overlooked. You do not know everything there is to know about 1 given subject, and look for advice from other sources, the same way as i did from "my book", but you immediately strike at others for the same.

cosworth rallyesport
G.B Turbo Solutions has been a registered company for less than 2 years now, so is still only "starting out", and i admit, im still learning. I work hard and try to give the best information i can given the information at hand. In this case Garrett service build/distribution information. The last T4 i rebuilt did not have watercooled core, and given the information from "my book" i came to the conclusion that they re oil cooled. So, "from the book information" may not be a 100% reliable, but that does not mean there was no 500 without watercooled turbo.
Also, from experience of pf, its quicker to be shot down, rather than look at the "possible".

edit to say I work hard/long to get people to shows, on the road when they need their turbo asap. I take it very seriously as this is my only income to pay mortgage, bills rent on unit, etc, and see "jokes" as a personal attack. I love working with turbos and running what is MY business, being my own boss etc. I worry about paying the bills etc as from leaving school i have always had a good income and secure job. This is a little insight as to why i get riled quickly over comments on pf, from people i do not know etc...and hopefully you can understand that.
regards,
Carl

Not wanting to carry this on, but just showing where i got my information from. The picture i supplied to try and back up my statement is from the highlighted text in the following picture.
If ALL rs500 turbos came watercooled standard, then so be it. I stand corrected.
