I spoke to my service writer several times. I spoke with the service manager. I was very explicit as to where the problem was coming from. The car was there 4 times within 6 months. The lackey at NTB had it on the lift (I don't own one) and showed me within 10 minutes what was bent.
You are ****ing full of yourself. You were completely wrong on the Speed 3's fuel pump issue. I questioned myself and then went back and read. It's a cam driven fuel pump and with the stock internals it starves the motor if you start adding horsepower.
You work on cars. It's not ****ing rocket science. Your ASE certifications mean jack shit. I know plenty of mechanics without certifications that I would pay to work on my car before your stealership ASE lackeys.
Also, I can get domestic car parts at dealership cost from buddies that are in car clubs. They have family members that work in the parts departments. So, again, you're not nearly as special as you think.

I didn't say you didn't explain it, I questioned if you did or not because this issues comes up all the time. Take your ****ing tone down.
I was wrong about the speed 3's fuel pump issue? The **** I was kid. I explained to you why they replace "the internals" of the pump, despite the fact that it is less internals and more about being able to utilize a factory location and hardware to mount with, thus bringing the price of the bump down to a very affordable level so that the part is easy to acquire for you.
Second, I explained to you in depth, how power works in a car. When you raise boost, you need to add fuel and watch timing and EGT's, you need to account for knock. You need to adjust your timing, fuel pressure, and injector duty cycle to adjust your AFR's in WoT, and that you need to do the same for daily drivability.
I explained to you that if you indeed had friends in the business, you could get the tuning done and modifications done for next to nothing.
However, we aren't talking aftermarket fuel pumps in this thread. We're referring to a mirror, or any factory replacement part.
Of which I promise you that I literally get at at cost less than your car club guys, but likely the same cost if you have a family member in the parts department.
I want to explain to you something, however.
Most discounts you'll receive from a car club, are 10-25% discounts from retail, not from cost. I get everything that my warehouse provides me, at cost, or slightly above it. A number you'll never touch unless your Tax ID does the volume and frequency that I do, and no car club will ever come close to that. However, if they had someone on the inside at a distributor, that could be the case, on a personal level, however, he is only allowed to purchase so many products for himself before his personal account is flagged for passing on the savings to non company customers.
I Spent a summer working at Keystone and Arrowspeed, I know how that business works, I know how it can get you in trouble.
You're coming at me with attitude, I"m just explaining to you how the world works dude, take your anger out on someone else, but don't tell me I was wrong about a god damned fuel pump when I clearly know more about the aftermarket and performance world than you do, and I especially have the knowledge for tuning better than you, its my ****ing job.
