Hw to tell if your builder actually did the work?
As some of you may know I am getting a turbo put on my bike. I am also getting the tranny undercut and a set of carpenter valve springs. Any ideas on how to make sure the tranny and springs were done?

pick a builder you trust or get a referral from a friend you trust.
No way to check those parts until you go back in there.
you could have marked the head gasket and the cases to show if they were opened.

it will drop a valve without them. have them give you your old stuff and you can see the turbo. If you don't do the work yourself get someone trustworthy

use someone whom rep. is worth much more than what you are paying them. And don't piss them off before or during the build. post the builder's name and that he is building your bike on every major forum. Let him know you did this to help promote him and let everyone know how great he is treating you. then, cross your fingers.

Pick someone who has a reputation worth protecting, a track record of success and a string of satisfied customers you can talk to. If they don't have those then walk away.

If you don't trust him why would you take your bike there to begin with? Sounds like a fuck job. Best of luck.

I don't trust anyone when it comes to my bike. This was not so much a question for this specific instance.

Ok, just paranoid, not a bad thing. Just because you think they're fucking you doesn't mean they aren't.
