Hello,

I have attempted to send this message to the qlist twice so far, hopefully
this time it will make it alive.

The $210 price quote was from a job performed in May 1998, and was raised
to $375 some time ago to cover costs for liability insurance, taxes,
providing technical assistance and other business related expenses. The low
volume doesn't justify a lower price IMHO. There are additional shipping
charges for next day air, which can raise the price up to $400 as was
quoted by someone else.

I sent Noah this price quote on 10/10/99

waste gate spring. 

I have also answered other questions from Noah via email during the past
few months, so one would think that if Noah had any questions or concerns
regarding this ECU mod price, he could have contacted me directly via email
instead of bringing this issue up in the public forum.

That is all I intend to say about this matter, any other comments/questions
can be sent directly to me at

sjmauto@teleport.com  or you can contact me at  scottmo@teleport.com

Best Regards
Scott
