If your saying i have the gift of the gab and don't know what im talking bout id say no lol i don't have the gift of the gab but when i give advice i've always told turk to check PT as they are the guys who are smart and have the knowledge of MS and boosting a ZE.
not at all, wasnt thinking of you at all, was thinking about the "bosch is cheap junk" comment and the other dude that was using his coil to trigger.

correct :-)

Also thoese monkey you called them are guys who are top MS guys and have done heaps of conversions but have still wrecked the ZE.
i don't care how "top" they are, they fried engines, one of two things was going on, they did it knowingly looking for the last 1hp, or they were monkeys. simple.

you have to realise that the dude down the road that wants to charge $40 less per hour (how much does this guy want????????????????????) could do an ok job, a brilliant job, or a poor but workable job, and without your own wideband and datalogs, you wont know if hes screwed you or not.

conversely, the guy that you meet online from around the other corner who will do it for beer might do a better job for much less. $$$ != performance in this industry. if it was ms would suck... but its brilliant.

things like "my o2 sensor cost $3000" sound pretty attractive, but at the end of the day, its meaningless to some extent. talk to these guys (both of them!!) about the actual process they will use, target afrs, knock threshold etc. record this stuff, read up on it and determine who is talking [shizzle] as a sales pitch, and who knows their stuff.

you cant really tune your engine NA without a decent wideband. so you need to get one anyway, first for tuning, second for monitoring later to see if something funny happens. seriously though, when whoever is tuning it, you want a datalog to see whats going on. you want that to include afr with a time reference! you cant have that without your own o2 installed.

once again $$ != goodness
