Not necessarily. I think you are missing the point on the JWT thing. JWT is a good company. Just like all small companies, they market aggressively and push the limit of the technologies they have to work with to move forward and promote their products. Nothing wrong with that as long as the customer knows where the limits exist.

Go ask Scott a technical question on JWT technology he promotes and profits from and see what kind of response you get. You will then understand what this thread is all about.

EDIT: After reading coachk's post I think it prudent for anyone following this thread who is "NOT" FI but considering it as the economy improves to read, search, & PM the obvious leaders of this thread and see what kind of response you get on a valid technical question on moving this community and the VQ35 engine forward,... you will then understand how important and powerful this forum remains to this day.

I would have to agree with Mike 100% and here's why...as a consumer, when buying a product i.e. JWT turbo's, I would expect the owner of the company(Jim) to only deal with people/vendors that will represent his products with the utmost integrity,credibility,etc.etc because ultimately it is JWT's reputation on the line.

Some people such as my self buy products based on the principles of a persons good reputation as well as the product being a good product. If I were to consider buying JWT turbos because it is an excellent turbo and had knowledge that Jim was a douche, I would look at buying another kit. I have no interest in making douches rich no matter what.

This thread has been humorous and I'm certain whatever amount of "warning" and "consumer protection" you felt was needed has been exhausted by now.

I'm not suggesting letting the thread die (it has become iconic)... but I am suggesting that it now looks like you have a new agenda (possibly out of boredom). If the JWT thing was a true concern, it would have been brought up long before now.

I hope he will listen now and it will most likely take more then just me talking to him since that didnt work well in the past.
Taken from...Post 232 Page 12......We are now on Post 2291...page 115 .....is that "Long Before Now" enough for you??

You may have missed this in your 'from a casual readers perspective"....There is more....but I am too "Bored" and lazy to look for more

So I repeat..........This is and will always be a thread to warn others about scott/RA/VRT.......we are only stating the obvious.....scott hangs out at JWT....not like the other vendors that only communicate by phone and mail....so its in Jim's best interest to set the facts straight....his silence only make it seem that he condones scotts actions.

And I stand by that post!!!!!! It is the only way to rid the world of Scott and others who follow in his footsteps preying on unsuspecting victims Go to the source and cut them off at the source!!!!!!! If every member that read this thread called JWT and complained about the lies,misleading propaganda,etc..... Scott is leading others to beleive, Jim would cut him off. But nobody is doing it so it isnt going to happen unless we take other drastic measures....BAR complaint and investigation, a report to the DEH, etc........

And there you have it......true statement.....And I hope OCG35 now understands that this is not a Jim bashing....the subject is scott....Hell, I own the 850bb and the 700bb turbo kit....We are ASKING Jim to protect his brand from misleading propaganda as Tim has said.

So OCG35...before you try and bash me...you need to go back and read through all 2294 posts

#1) I am not here to make enemies - so "bashing you" is not my agenda

#2) I have followed this thread form the very first post. When I referenced "casual reader" I imply "reading the thread" as opposed to jumping on the slam fest.

I am not here to state my opinion on the RA/VRT matter... but whether you admit it or not the JWT issue was not a target factor in the few mentions scattered about this thread... recently it appears to be a target source.

Take it for what its worth - I don’t have the interest that you do so I'm looking at the entire issue from a perspective that isn’t as emotionally involved. However, that does not mean I'm not able to see a trend when it starts...

Again, I'm not bashing anyone or trying to create drama - so drama queens you can keep your bashing to yourselves. I simply stated my perspective - which is as valid as any of the band-wagoners in here.

Having that been written – If the thread doesn’t take a turn to the JWT bash-fest that it looked like it might, then I am wrong… but already several cronies chimed in and started barking about it – so it seems as if my concern has some merit.

So only God knows where you got the idea we were or I was bashing Jim. Like I pointed out...it would not be in by best interest to bash when I am the proud owner of 2 of his kits which have been trouble free

Jim is actually a pretty down to earth guy from my dealings with him. I honestly do not know why he continues to deal with Scott though. I know "how" Scott got in the position to do business with him though. The same way VRT did. Through Mark the Mechanic. If it wasn't for Mark doing the work for Scott, I am sure Jim wouldn't give him the time of day.
