OK, you are new here, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and not get all nuts on you. What Terry was saying had to do with another thread where Bobdafoo basically called out Hightower for not having the kit out and not giving updates. Terry's offer was to build a one off for this guy to get him to shut up about the whole turbo thing (and was also quite sarcastic). Chris' turbo will be much more than a one-off, and takes time to develop, and will be fully prototyped before any are sold to the public (is my understanding). There is no way that Terry was bashing Chris. I'd bet that Terry is one of the behind-the-scenes players in this whole deal (as he has MANY connections and Chris has material supply issues).
Be careful bashing Terry, he is the man and has helped many CEG'ers out of jams with their trannies and motors (me included) out of the goodness of his heart. The guy spent significant time on the phone/email trying to help me figure out why my Quaife wouldn't fit in my transaxle. Nothing in it for him at all. He is also a Duratech Powertrain Engineer from back in the development days. He has forgotten more about our cars than I will ever know.
Obviously you don't understand all the players here yet, but nobody is going to kick you out of here for being a newbie. Welcome to the group.
J/K Terry...now where is my new engine at
