I will say this...
Back in my stock turbo days, almost a year ago, Nick tuned me and I have to say it was a damn good tune. I even went a few weeks later to get a dyno tune and the tuner could not get the car to make any more peak hp no matter what but he could improve the midrange because my wideband was reading off during mid range. That itself speaks a lot for Nick as an amateur tuner but after I upgraded to a red, I got retuned by him and I think I could have done a better job to be honest. I know very little about tuning but I'm sure I could have done better. When I decided to go to another local tuner (bnice01), just on his base map I was already making more power than dapper dan's final tune and overall I made another 50+ hp over dapper dans tune. (Keep in mind this is both street tunes with amateur tuners on the same setup). I don't know what happened but it seems that as time goes on, his quality seems to be suffering and I have turned a lot of people away from him because of that.
Quality means EVERYTHING when it comes to doing business.

Just to update....
I have been in contact with Henry and I will be shipping his turbo to him tomorrow. I am sorry this had to happen. I will also be filing complaints with paypal, my creditcard company and my local police department against dapper dan aka Nick tradervic if this does not get corrected.
Good luck on getting your other parts back Henry.

Hey kanyonkid,.....remember-USMC
but on the serious note it wasnt right for what nick did. But its never worth someones life.. money comes and go.. I just wanted to get this out to everyone, that way NO one can ever go through what i have gone through...This has been a long weekend and from the looks of it i got all used parts he pieced together and sold most of my new parts and made the profit.. its no telling how many other victims there has been. but i hope there will be no more...
