703autosport Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Some customer came into the shop the other day with a train horn install... he put the kit together himself using triple horns and a 3/8" valve that can hold bursts of 150psi. He also bought a viair 2gal tank that can hold 150 psi but got dual viair 380's which are 200psi comps. and a 200 psi switch. I told him that it was overkill since he couldnt use the full potential of the comps and he ended up trading me for my two used 350's... So now I have his two brand new chrome 380's and an extra 50psi to play with! Quote

703autosport Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Posted May 9, 2008 I wasnt intentionally taking advantage of him, I told him that it was too much pressure for what he had... I also mentioned getting a new pressure switch to him but he was impatiant and wanted it finished for the weekend so I offered him the trade. He made the desision on his own to trade for mine and they were also in mint condition just lower psi. I dont take advantage of customers, I actually just quit from my shop on monday because of how the owner screwed over and took advantage of so many people Quote
bigjd Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 the viair 380s are rated at 200 but only 100% effecient at 100 psi.... i wouldnt suggest runnin them to 200 i run mine to 175 and it gets hot and you can tell its straining at 175 Quote
