sma01 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 how long did yours take to build then? to be honest the bottom end was built pretty quickly, i reckon it could have been done in about 2-3 weeks, but 1 of the guys who works for him building the engines injured his hand and is/was off for 6 weeks...mines has taken a bit longer cos i was getting other stuff done too, but i have to say the service is top class, alan himself kept me updated by email and phone - dont know too many tuners out there who would do that....big thumbs up for enginetuner, i cant fault them.....
