This is interesting. It just keeps rolling in, like postcards of love from Russia.
It’s interesting how the internet brings out the absolute worst in people for all in the world to gawk at, isn’t it?
I wonder what Dusty is thinking about this right now. That would tell me volumes about the kind of person he is. He’s either;
1) Sitting in his chair having a good old time at my expense, enjoying having his buddies nail me to the wall, or
2) He’s utterly disgusted with some of you with the way you’re beating up on one of his customer’s.
One of his customer’s, some of you may be thinking?
Yes, we tried a converter from Dusty for a customer’s car. It didn’t work out, and Dusty graciously took the unit back. It happens. Circumstances don’t work out sometimes. Dusty and I understand that. We would have tried another unit, but the customer was very anxious to get his car back, so we had to do something else.
Since then, I have referred a few people to him that were asking for a referral for a good TC. I hope that worked out for Dusty. We never heard back from those people. That could be good news, or bad news, but I’m sure it was good. I’m not going to use this thread to make that judgment.
My son presently has a unit on order with Dusty. We’re both patiently waiting for it to arrive at the shop. That’s the car we’ll be tuning on the dyno soon. He came to me when it was time to pick a TC, and I was the one that pushed him to get his TC from Dusty. Please don’t disappoint, Dusty.
So yes, I do trust Dusty’s talents enough to use his services.
When I started this thread, it was to share my experiences and ideas with others that might be eager to explore something outside the box. For the third time, the idea was to treat this thread like a blog, and I was not seeking advice. Especially in the manner that’s been used in this thread. By the responses, it appears most of you are insulted by that and feel I’m treating you like dummies. That is the furthest from the truth. I’m always learning myself, and I thought maybe there were others on this site that were just as eager, whether they could use the experience or not. It appears I was wrong.
This is hard, because I realize there are some that like to read up on the latest with my project, and I really do enjoy sharing, but if there’s the chance that I’m insulting someone by sharing, then I’ll choose not to share and save that person the stress. I will no longer bother others with updates on my project. You can all clap now.
When I started this thread, my plan was to keep the choice of using Dusty’s services for my own project open, maybe not use him right away, but the plan was to keep the door open. I know Dusty would enjoy the challenge. You have to enjoy challenges if you’re in the TC business. If I were any other type of individual and after some of the performances on this thread, that door would have been slapped shut, tightly locked, and the key thrown away a long while back. The performance of some of you has been amazingly eye opening. Like I said earlier, the internet has a way of bringing out the absolute worst in people, and this thread has become a very sad testament to that.
