Most likely because he didn't pay the ridiculous sponsor fees that the admins on these forums demands...

Well that doesn't sound very professional. If he couldn't get to it then why didn't he just say that up front. No need to string along someone especially when they are in need to work or there car is broke.

He's very professional, when I had appointment with him to work on my car he never change the date or time. He did many things on my 335 and my brother 535 and I can not say bad word about his work.

Wtf? That's not his style AT ALL. I've brought my car there and have referred multiple people to him and he's incredibly responsive. He is in the middle of opening a new shop right this moment so give him a break.

Haha..MI think I have a vac leak somewhere I have zero boost....wastegates are 100% open in a 3rd gear log I posted on n54.....it was boosting fine then all of a sudden. Nothing...I swapped my boost solenoids with brand new ones and that's not the issue

Doesn't sound like a typical vacuum leak.. Check the vacuum lines by the oil filter housing first. Follow the steps on n54tech to diagnose waste gate issues.
