This is not a review I wanted to leave

This is not a review I wanted to leave, I had my W177 A250 (the car was 3 years old with 26k miles) in for a stage 1 remap and the worst possible issue happened, the turbo failed (blown)

I have since had the broken turbo examined and the cause of failure was down to overboost of the turbine

As the remap was removed and put back to stock I was not able to get the ecu data checked out to see what the cause of failure was down to although the actuator/wastegate/oil lines where all checked on repair and in good working order.
with him doing this to me looks suspicious and points towards the map

As far as I am aware/seen Chris did not do any pre checks, which should of been done before dyno run

I have tried to reach out to Chris multiple times via email to come to some sort of compensation agreement as the repairs cost me over 2k and the result of having no car for 4 weeks, I was not asking Chris for the full amount I thought 50/50 was fair

I appreciate Chris organised and paid for a recovery back to Manchester but did not take liability of the blown turbo which was disappointing

Hi Carl, turbo failure is certainly not something either of us wanted to happen.

Just to clarify a few points from my side: the turbo failed on the very first run after the Stage 1.

I pulled and checked the datalogs straight away and they were normal. The boost pressure was well within safe limits for these cars and there was no sign of any over boosting.

In terms of pre-checks, I carry out the standard fault code scan before we started. What I can’t realistically do is strip down the intake/turbo components to inspect internal condition.

Unfortunately, a turbo can be on the edge due to wear or an underlying issue that won’t show up on a scan until it’s put under load.

By nature of increasing the power output, we are increasing stress on certain components such as the turbo.

Even though the datalogs didn’t point to an issue with the calibration, I still tried to do the right thing as a gesture of goodwill, this kind of thing ruins both of our days. I refunded your deposit and arranged/paid for recovery back to Manchester.

The only emails I have from you are requesting the datalogs, which I sent over.

I understand you wanted a contribution towards the repair, but given the boost was within safe limits in the datalogs, I can’t take responsibility for the turbo failure or the repair costs.
