The last time someone talked to you personally, you put that conversation on speaker-phone to start a load of drama. So, no thanks...

FYI... In the future, when someone is giving you good advice about business partners, don't stab them in the back over it.

bwhaaaaaa this is funny i think i know the conversation biggie speaks of.... seth i think there are people that have been around a long time that have had numerous experiences with vesco so all we are saying is don't be suprised if he ****s you over.. but if it works out good for you hope you do well.. i'm sure the car is way fun to drive.

by the way the only way to blow a new turbo to header gasket is the bolts were not tight. sounds like a install problem.

What if someone got that turbo nice and hot, shut of the car and immediately hosed down the whole engine, exhaust manifold and turbo with cold water?

exactly right, it was an install problem
shearer fab'ed the manifold and set the entire setup comletely assembled.
vesko never touched those bolts or assembled the kit. he simply bolted the manifold on connected the lines and we drove it to vegas for tuning.
i prefered not to mention it because i am not sure if it was a fluke or if Ron made a boo-boo.

I got out of the "altered exhaust" ticket today! I put the stock catback on my car and then i printed an article about the evo from the internet. I told the hearing officer that the car comes with a 4" tip and he dissmissed the ticket after inspecting my muffler. I just saved myself a hundred dollars. So now i can spend more money on booze.

With a swift and witty rebuttal like this, it would seem like a common occurrence in their camp.
