sorry i mistook prateek to be the installer and not the guy who owns the car. well in that case i agree with ya and also seems like mr. tuner hasnt replied yet has he?

Ananth - I went to this guy after he claimed all of us here were kids playing on our Playstations & talking crap about tuning. Well let's just say the results weren't pretty, he didn't turn up at his own garage despite multiple phone calls to him and the work we saw, well I have no words for it. You can see & read more here:

I agree with Ananth. Stop making fun of his English, all you Professors Higgins.

Mcl, thanks for the thread. Though seems like there will still be guys going to him. Also, the Lancer filter, that's the only way to install it. Like the Getz, the Lancer has an awkward engine bay. Farhan had to move his battery to the boot to get proper airflow.

P.s. How about thumbnails next time?

Ishaan I agree he's a heel and doesnt know basic stuff but attacking his language is both ineffective and damaging to Team BHP at the same time. I'd rather everyone who's had a buying experience with him chip into this thread and thus make people aware.

hey buddy ive been following the thread of your tc setup since the time it was first posted,no offence but those pipes cant restrict any air inlet into the engine,the boost can be controlled by a boost controller as mentioned to you earlier,i dont blame you for supporting him because im sure your tuner's brainwashed you in his way and force fed you a lot of crappy info about how engine's work n/a or turbo,my only advise to you is that get rid of that setup right away ur probably running lean right now due to excessive air and minimal fuel supply to your engine due to the stock fuel maps and your only stressing your engine internal's by doing that,so now you have a choice you can ignore what al of us have already told you or carry on driving till the engine detonate's,well best of luck with whatever you do just make sure that you dont go back to him..hehe..cheers..happy revvin..!

I second that.. Lets keep the focus on the mods done to customer's cars rather than harmless "mods" done on English language.

I'm certainly not commenting on the english Ananth, that's hitting below the belt. I was just putting my views across as to what happened when I had gone to meet him & see his work after he tom-tomed about it on the Lancer Turbo thread.

As much as I hate it, still I have no problems with what English the guy uses on his website, that's the least of my bothers. I too would like to comment on his work rather than his English.

Depends entirely on the "Other" setup that you want to do. If you post some ideas here, the Gurus can give you some advice.

I am not aware of Arush's tuning skills, however I suggest you as the customer do your research on what is going into your car and find out if its the right way to do it. And to begin with, if you could tell us what you intend to do maybe a few of us here could help you with say certain ideas which you can then put forth to Arush (or he could read your thread) and ask him to carry off work accordingly.

Oh no worries, i have been following all threads. As far as prateek's car is concerned yes i have spoken to him, there are some issues that need to be sorted out on the car, which i have told him accordingly that we will look into whenever he has the time to bring the car over since he is located pretty far off.

As far as tuning skills are concerned, well, i cant blow my own trumpet, so let us just suffice to say if im not upto the job, may be my dad who is a car mechanic himself and runs an independent workshop for the last forty years or so can help out!

Cheers.

After seeing all these pics i feels like that tuner is expert in making cars loud so you can feel the virtual power, just like many 150's running around with free flow pipes with K&N and Fat tires .

Even the ads posted in ACI & OD appear so unprofessionally designed.
I was left wondering who the targetted clientele is??
