I was one of those guys getting flamed, well now look who is laughing
.Alot of people on here have more money than they have sense. I came from a car community that was full of innovative people who were very mechanically inclined so that is why i get so aggravated with peeps on this site. 80% of them are rich boys that don't even do their own work on their car so how can they judge what parts are quality and what isn't.

I hear that all the time. It really is harder compared to the controller but once you get it down, it makes it a lot better hehe.
Better hurry, Jason is shipping his car off in two weeks I think

This car is going to be loud, it is going to have 3 inch down pipes and wastegate dumps. Can you say 450whp on 8psi!!!!

The main company that produces the part isn't necessarily the only one that can do it right in my eyes. Though there are some parts that will just fuq your shiet up. Friend of mine had an ebay turbo virtually melt in his car when he ran it for the first time.

I totally agree with, there are some parts in which it is okay to go with a knock off, but when it comes to FI or anything for my motor or suspension i go with well respected companies.
