I contacted dirty torque (speedy_vrs) last night via the forum, straight away i had a welcoming reply. He gave me his concact number within a few messages back and forth, he was more than happy to talk for hours about any problems and questions i had and had a very reassuring amd accurate response he invited me to come down his unit the next day ( today ) to check out the car and do some diagnostics and boost runs, one of the owners of this new business (dean) and his brother took straight away to the car trying to find the problem, he was very friendly and happy to help with anything, he asked if i would mind him stripping the inlet manifold and intake pipe off which was done before you know it, after 2 minutes he had discovered the problem which was a split on the egr bypass pipe, he made all efforts to source one but coildnt until tomorrow, which i will be back in work ( near barnsley ) so he did his best to patch the problem to last until i get a chance to get a new pipe. Then karl ( the other owner) was happy to use his bore scope to inspect my turbo also afterwards they added a beep when locking and unlocking and the anti hijack lock when over 5mph and unlock when the car is turned off.

All for a very good price, very happy

In general, i think this will be a very sucsessful business in the feature and best of luck to them!

I will definatley be taking my car back to them to have any work done regarding preformance or problem

Good news mate I knew they could help you out. Also what part of wales are you from?

No proplem at all buddy, more than welcome down anytime kettles always on

We have held off from doing this for a while now after stumbling across the Dirty Torque website, but since Dean and Karl are now getting customers to plug them on the forums and also dropping hints about their turbo kits when people ask about our kits, I think it is time we tell the truth on how Dirty Torque Developments came about.

I own Darkside Developments with my bro Ryan.

Dean from DTD bought an old turbo setup from Ryan around April last year. From there he sent over 200 emails asking about everything you can imagine to do with diesel tuning. When he was down on cash we helped him out by buying some parts from him for much more than we usually would. We even sold him Powergate Tool so he could tune the ECUs as he wanted to be a 'dealer' for our products and needed us to help him set up a website to advertise the products on. He would be our ‘fitting centre’ down South.

Dean knew who we used for some of our fabrication work, and must have decided to cut us out of the picture. We later found out that Dean drove from getting a load of money from us, straight to the fabricator to discuss their new business venture!

We used this particular fabricator for 1 Manifold and some flanges. All the flanges were all bent and the manifold had very poor welding, so we decided not to use him again. Since then we have heard some horror stories of the manifolds he makes breaking and poor customer service etc.

We paid for the jig for the manifold and the CAD for the flanges so it is yet another stepping stone we created for DTD.

Since we declined to help Dean with the website (why should we help someone set up a business?), he seems to have took it upon himself to use all of our information as his own.

Take a look at their Turbo Kit listing:

Look familiar?

http://www.darksided...di-engines.html

It’s a pretty much copy and paste affair of ours in most part.

Also, did they show you their ‘Demo Car’?

‘We currently run this turbo kit on our own Skoda Fabia Vrs TDI PD130 Demo Car which achieves 235bhp /360lbsft’

Have you seen this before? Yep you sure have:

We fitted that kit with our own bare hands as well as doing all the tuning, it was one of the first we did. Karl, Dean’s brother bought it from the customer we did all the work for (Luke) and now they are passing it off as their work!

If price is all someone is bothered about, I am sure they will go with the DirtyTorque Kit, but we have sold 70 Turbo Kits in just over 18 months, so that shows you something. We used Brand New Genuine Garrett Turbochargers with a 1 Year Warranty, and our Manifolds and Downpipes have a lifetime warranty against cracking. You need to compare apples with apples. Their kits are a little cheaper than ours, but we don’t make a crazy amount on them, so something has got to give. You squeeze on price, you have the squeeze on quality somewhere.

I am sure Dean will come up with some crazy story about how we are lying and that everything was their own idea, but he thinks we are stupid, getting his brother and friends to email us and ring us to ask advice on what to fit etc. Its not clever, it just makes them look like novices.

They are also claiming 328bhp at the flywheel with a set of Firad 80% Injectors. I have no doubt the Injectors will do that power, but there is no way the stock head and camshaft will flow that amount of power, no matter how much fuel, NOS, Water/Meth or fairy dust you pile in there.

You can buy the fake Adidas, or buy the real deal. Its your choice.

Thanks

I do not wish to create any disputes mate, nor annoy anyone, wrote up the experience I had with dean as i hae been mucked about loads before and it was the first good experience if had with a mechanic with my car, also i went with him to have my work done as he was the cheapest I had quotes for and his availability suited perfect.

J.E

I do feel its unfair that every topic mentioning dirty torque get this post in it. Ive had no experience with either company, nor do i know anyone from either company but the post above is getting posted in a lot of topics.

Sounds dodgy, especially passing someone elses work off as their own
