Sensor Pins for camshaft triggered ignition

[Adam A. Luy]

Wow! Is this VWVortex?

I don't want to get involved in this discussion, as I believe only two people here have a right to, but I would like to just air my experience with 034 et al.

I have dealt with 034 & Javad (and crew) many times on levels ranging from being a customer, to being a vendor, to being someone needing advice. I have also exchanged many messages over various forums in the last 3-4 years with individuals who have used their products, some who helped design their products, and several who now work for 034. Through all of this I personally have never even come close to having or hearing of such problems, and any personal dealings, especially with Javad, have been nothing but good experiences. There are also several acquaintances of mine who have gotten helpful advice from Javad/034 even when the project they were doing (like MS&S) had only a small portion of 034 gear.

Really I have the utmost respect for Javad AND Cody - two people who have personally done way to more advance the old Audi's than many others. I remember when I used to read both of their personal Audi hotrod websites - before any real business was involved.

My $.02,

-Adam

My recent message proves this wrong. Heres some comments from another mailing list I am on:

"So far everyone Ive talked to that had 034 has had nothing good to say about it. <snip>...... I talked to him once in the early days when I was entertaining the idea of using it, and after that one call I decided to run away."

"His s4 intercooler kit uses the cheapo intercoolers you can get off ebay for  ~$200. but the kit sells for like $1200." <I snipped many malicious comments from this one>

"Javad must have a doctorate in hypnosis.  Never have i seen a con-artist stay in business this long."

"From what i've

"I'm not a fan of javads, we had a few posts back n forth on the quattro list a few years ago.  He was selling stuff he didnt understand and was 
either knowingly or unknowingly lieing to people to sell his efi.   It was 
when it only did  fuel and no ignition.  He  was pushing his system  and was saying that ignition  timing wasnt important.  We went back and forth about that a few times.  I felt like he was trying to cheat people, so I gave a list of other systems that worked with 5 cyls and i dont think he liked that much.  I lost all respect for him back then."

You are correct, none of the efforts were listed, but I personally called
034 3 times and spoke with Nate about some issues, then the vehicles owner called numerous times and talked to both Nate and Christian. I believe he also talked to Javad, but can't be sure on that. Some of the phone calls resulted in "I'll call you back after I talk to Javad", but after 24 hours I called back to hear "Oh right yeah...um... your doing it wrong I guess, nobody else has ever complained".
