If you'd answered the question, you'd probably get people thinking "that Karl seems a top bloke, I'll pay him to do my work" and that free 10secs of typing could have got you £££ in custom.

Couldnt agree with you more, a little help goes a long way. If Karl didnt want to post the information then why bother posting at all on this thread.

As posted previous. the question wasnt asking for rocket science or tuner secrets.LOL,
The way i read Karls answer was to correct Doug Stirling who had posted above Karl Stating he was 99% sure it didnt matter which way round they go where obviously it does.....OK he could of gone that bit further and explained why and wot way round....But lets say Turbo boy took Doug's (who isnt a mechanic but was trying to help) Advice and it all went tits up then would he come slating Doug for given wrong info...Karl at least gave him food for thought instead of just chucking them in anyway.

Seems a load of bollocks and sarcy annoying answers from the same old people.

If cant help, or dont wanna help, dont fucking answer, simple.

Only way people learn is from finding out info, exactly what this persons doing.

Its an engine, not rocket science, lad just needed some basic info and it turned to shit.

some basic info would be to note down orientation of parts before ripping them off.

i agree with you that this post has gone a bit shitty, as you say a simple answer would have done. But Karl is more than entitled to post what he wants,and the fact he told the guy they need to be correctly fitted at least gave some info. i also don't think you should lecture others on how to reply

Try looking at it from Karls point of view ( or any tuner ). they probably get phone calls/e-mails from people all day asking for free information, and i bet they help out a few,but when it's relentless time wasters with no intention of actually getting involved with the tuner, then it must get so frustrating. ( last comment not aimed at this thread btw )

also ask ANY of Karls customers if they would recommend him
( just in case anybody on this thread doubts his work )

TURBO TOY good luck with the build

karl is shithot at his work, but the way he replies on here being deliberatley criptic and patronising without helping at all does nobody any good at all.

not posting anything of use, so why post.

I cant beleive this post is still going.
