The fact remains that the company in question can respond to these comments on the T5D5 forum but is refusing to comment, undeniably because they will not enjoy the 'immunity' they have become accustomed to, or possibly because it is indeed all true and they can make no defence whatsover anyway.

unsure of that case... all i know is i got called a few choice names by mike for suggesting i may get banned from that site...
i have to say i dont fear getting banned from any site for speaking the truth! the vpcuk site & VT seem to have a very close relationship.... what i dont really understand from mikes point of veiw on the vpcuk site is he seems very happy with VT????

I applaud t5d5 for providing a place for members to voice their experiences without fear of recrimination.
I also think it is vital to let potential customers know about these bad experiences so that they may make an informed choice on the performance upgrades they choose. Well done guys.

Yeah I second that. The whole idea of a community is to help other people / share information etc. I've been trying for almost a year to find out certain things on here (VOC) and over on VPCUK and there always comes a point when someone pulls the thread or locks it etc. It's bloody annoying especially when all I am doing is figuring out whats the best way to proceed with my car. Finally we have somewhere on http://www.T5D5.org where we can ask whatever we like & get undiluted opinions from Volvo owners about where to go, where not to go, what upgrade worked & more importantly what upgrade didn't work etc.
The case of Chris and his VT hybrid going bang doesn't seem to exist over on the VPCUK forums. You'd think it never happened. Surely things like this should be highlighted on an owners forum. If the tuners want to add to the discussion to say why it was a one off, or the reason why it wasn't their fault etc then even better. At least that way new members & those starting to upgrade can make informed choices. At the moment it's just crazy. This forum hasn't exactly helped either. By banning VT this place has become part of the same problem. They should be allowed to put their side should anyone make comments about them. Agreed that the whole SW / VT warring posts made by the same people were getting damn annoying, but this site is supposed to be for the members so we can see what's really going on out there.

Hi,
From what little I have read about performance tweaking of cars (Volvo's in this case.. ) it is very dependant on the car being tuned/tweaked. No two cars are going to be exactly the same. Different methodologies of tweaking said cars will also give different results. So an MTE map and a RICA upgrade, while both giving improved performance, will be different. SO which is "better"? Given the above comments about the secretive nature of what happens for each method, where else do people have to find out? Here of course. Unless said tuners decide to use what can only be described as underhanded tactics to stifle this information and other people finding out about it. Sorry, but if I say that on my car an MTE was crap and have the data to prove it, I'll post it. If I go to a place like volvo performance tuning and get crap service - I'll say so. That is MY liability. As per terms on this forum that I accepted - I accept responsibility for those comments I make. Be advised though, it maybe the an MTE on another car is fab... Or another garage is better. etc.. But we should know about both the good and bad... An openness to this would be a much better way of working. Each tuner does have something to offer (depending on the car you have - well most do as there are some to be avoided at all costs I hear) and openness will help people identify the right place, people and methodology for their needs, budget and car. So..... More openness please, and can our forum please advise of those commercial agents/companies who threaten the forum so that we can "Avoid Like Plague"... And also, any claims made by commercial tuners etc need to to be backed up with some form of proof - preferably independent. Des. . .
