I want to take this opportunity to thank the whole PDR crew and Randy's off road for a most enjoyable weekend. What a great time, everyone was busy and exhausted and full of mud diesel dirt and oil.
Then disaster struck....
I misadjusted my Banks wastegate.... causing among other things turbo barks on transmission upshifts under WOT (as witnessed on the dyno run as well) and of course my famous turbo barks coming off throttle too early.
During the drags, after the 4th pass, my turbo sounded funny and to be sure, i let byron take it for a drive (he almost has as much seat time in my DMX as i do http://www.nwbombers.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/shocked.gif ) and he informed me that my suspicions were correct.... turbo sounds funny. not at high boost, but below 10 lbs only. How that turbo got me back from SIR to my sisters house and then to PDR is beyond me, but Piers and Rob and the other techs (Rob and Piers staying till the bitter end) in 10 hours had the turbo changed and me on the road. These guys were already tired, wired and then frustrated with the time it was taking (esp the Rail Press Sensor) But you know what? Smiling and joking until 10:00PM they had me on the road (I absolutely had to be back to work the next day)
I have since learned this of PDR..... they do not pay lip service to the term gitrdone..... they LIVE BY IT!
I cannot express the gratitude to them or the recognition they deserve other than this post.
They host a first class event, spend countless hours getting it ready for a few of us to run thru it in 5 hours, bombvoy with us and eat with us.... answer questions, dragrace etc.... and still have the energy and commitment to help someone in need.
Thank You Rob, Thank you Piers.
You went far beyond the extra mile, and have earned a die hard customer for life.
My respect, my gratitude, and my thanks.
Juice.
