The plan was to simply advertise the exact spec of the turbo, and show that a good reconditioned one with the right mapping on a good injection system would make good numbers.
Then I could simply do the leg work to get their ECU getting the figures offered.
Not sure if I'll be wanting to get too involved in the mechanical side as it's a mine field. Maybe some firm T&C's on what is offered.
Ie, if a customer has boost pipes blowing off, or their injectors or HP pump are not good enough, then I need to make sure they have a freebie chance to rectify and re-visit, but beyond that then a basic cost of £50/hr or something just to cover time basically.
Otherwise you can end up spending hours or days with a customer who tries to cut corners, and the cost of that adds on to the average cost and then good customers end up subsidising others, so they almost seem to be paying twice!
I'll be sure to share the dyno plots and k03 specs, some on-road videos and so on once everything is working!
