Funny how the poster asks for ONLY comments from actual users only to get spammed with more useless junk, and even from the moderator.
From the count I see it's 2 good reports to 2 bad reports and that's about on par with every other product out there?

Come on dude, it's getting to sound like a broken record.

All I said was that the moderator shouldn't be bashing the poster for NOT getting what he ASKED for.
If you dont have one of these turbo kits then why did you post when the thread SPECIFICALLY STATES he wanted ONLY real experience, not just meaningly dribble?
The only positive thing I bring to this thread is explaining that the ONLY way we can evaluate this turbo to purchase is by getting some REAL information, which is again what the poster asked for and again got nothing from 98% of the "replies".

If my car starts up this weekend, I will probably put 50+ dyno pulls on one, and we will see how it holds up, if it falls apart I will post results. I won't be upset, because I know its cheap manifold made in some sweat shop, and I am not out of a lot money.

My only direct experience is with their piece-of-**** SS manifold - I've seen them and held them in my hand.
I call them a piece-of-**** for a reason.
About the only questionable pic I've seen is the turbo compressor housing blown open - that one just doesn't jive.
You seem to be hunting for that diamond in a pile of dung.
I dunno how you can stand the stink, cause I quit looking a while ago.
Hey, you wanna keep hunting for your diamond, go right ahead.
Just don't tell us to shut the **** up...
We all have a right to present our OPINIONS, whether you like it or not as long as we're within the rule of this forum and ok'd by the admins and mods.
BUT, adding unnecessary crap to threads is frown upon.
You're just as guity of telling people to go to hell due to their non-direct experience as the people who are posting them...
So why don't you just plunk the $300 for the turbo and make us all shut up?
Of you don't have the money, you don't deserve to be contemplating the car's performance in the first place...

"Wow, you've conveniently ignore all the negative evidence presented."
The only thing negative on this thread and the other in Single Turbo was wastegate & manifolds. What about the turbo itself? That lame Honda pic? Even you said that one was questionable: "About the only questionable pic I've seen is the turbo compressor housing blown open - that one just doesn't jive."
"Just don't tell us to shut the **** up..."
Never said that, I only said the poster asked for REAL experience not more of this BS.
"We all have a right to present our OPINIONS, whether you like it or not as long as we're within the rule of this forum and ok'd by the admins and mods."
You weren't asked for your opinion, you were asked for your experience. My 9 year old knows the difference. Is your constant bashing & "F" this & "F" that within the rules of the forum? How about your flaming me for trying to get some real information?
"BUT, adding unnecessary crap to threads is frown upon.

LOL. You're posts are sooo informational. And I never told anyone to go to hell, I believe that was you.
"So why don't you just plunk the $300 for the turbo and make us all shut up? Of you don't have the money, you don't deserve to be contemplating the car's performance in the first place..."
Can't evaluate a product without some experience. You'll figure that out once you get a girlfriend.
Thanks for all the stunning input Ted, you've proven to me how valuable your insight is.

A with that, the thread is closed. I'm in a nice mood, so nobody gets a warning, and the thread is not being deleted....
But if a certain member continues to make negative posts toward a certain moderator and other more knowledgable member, more severe action will be taken.
