You should collect unemployment just to make sure they have to pay for letting you go.

Bill, I'm very sorry to hear this.

Your customer service and professional attitude were the only reason that I bought parts locally. I'll happily take my business to your next place of employment or end up going back to online parts ordering.

Good luck, buddy. I'm sorry to hear that they made such a huge mistake.

Thanks man. I really do appreciate the kind words. Anyone who knows me, knows I did enjoy doing this, and it is really a damn shame. I had ALOT lined up for these guys.

As for going to another dealership, who knows right now

No wideband yet. I was supposed to get a price from an SBR dealer earlier in the week, but never got it. Maybe next week. O2 housing, in-car MBC, and AFPR. 10AM is great for me Sat morning.

Who is going to see the movie still? I am still in! If we are eating around 7:30, why a 10:00 show time?

Just to make sure, you do know the difference between NLTS and anti-lag, right Turco? For all those who don't know, they are very different indeed! NLTS allows you to keep you foot planted on the gas while screaming through the gears, keeping you in boost, and allowing you to rev-match, putting far less stress on the clutch/transmission.

Anti-lag has two different concepts. "True" anti-lag (used in rally) uses a valve, activated via a solenoid, to flow compressed air directly into two exhaust runners on the manifold (assuming an I-4) once the throttle plate is shut. Timing is then retarded, causing unburnt fuel to enter into the manifold to meet this breath of fresh air, which ignites in the manifold due to the extreme temperatures, there by rushing past the turbine wheel, and out the exhaust. This allows the turbine to continue to spin as if the throttle plate was open, and compress air the same, allowing the car to maintain 1.5, even 2 bars of pressure while off the gas.

Another, more common in street cars, method is to simply cut timing and add fuel when the clutch is pressed and under WOT. This achieves the same thing, as unburnt fuel again enters the manifold, where it ignites, as described above. The difference is that this can not be used while braking or turning, unlike rally cars, unless you can brake and continue WOT while shifting. Either way, the result is gun shot like bangs from the exhaust. If enough fuel is ignited in the manifold, flames will shoot out the exhaust, impressing friends, while pissing off neighbors. Keep in mind that it does a number on the turbo, as a sudden rush of just ignited gases passing through via the turbine wheel, is not welcomed by the turbo as a whole. But that did not stop me with my GSX
