John Welch - W. C. Engineering

[lotusnut]

The timing belt broke on my 1991 Lotus Esprit SE Turbo and since the engine is an interference engine, I am assured that there is valve damage and possibly valve guide damage and possibly piston damage. John Welch advertises that he is an expert on turbo upgrades so I am considering let him upgrade my turbo and replace my valves with larger valves and also to do other repairs the engine needs. Does anyone know of John Welch or his company, W. C. Engineering? I would feel more comfortable letting my car go with him if someone else is familiar with him.

I have used John for a turbo upgrade to my S4. He is knowledgeable and reputable. He'll stand behind his work, and will make time to talk issues over with you - by phone or email.

You'll have no worries with him!

John is a good egg - chatted to him many times and he certainly knows his beans.

Thanks so much everyone! Now I can't wait for John to take my car and do all the repairs and upgrades! It sounds like my car will be in good hands! I appreciate everyone taking time to respond!
