GTM's shady reputation is nothing new and your story isn't a revelation. Most people learned about GTM a long time ago when Alberto and others came forward after they got screwed by GTM. Unfortunately, the VQ community has no shortage of newbs who fail to do adequate research on this forum before picking a shop, turbo kit, tuner, etc. This is probably part of the reason why Alberto was so harsh on you... because you didn't learn from his hard lesson with GTM or the numerous others who had blown GTM motors. People who did their research and learned from other forum members' past experiences already knew to stay away from GTM.

I don't have any regrets about how things ended up, I learned a lot and the car is running well. I knew about all the issues prior to engaging with GTM and at the end of the day the decision was always in my hand so I don't blame them fully for the outcome.

Im honestly trying to find out what happened with GTM. I have heard rumors but have not seen the threads, can someone point me in the direction for some evening reading? And dont say "search function" it is useless.

Thanks! At least this part went right.
Perhaps if my car wasn't stroked already then this kit would be pretty good. I was debating between the BP and SOHO kit, but Zcar wants to do the SOHO since they had pretty good success with the Momemtum kit. As of now, no plans to change anything on the motor side.

That's one of my fear as well but given the high resemblance to the powerlab and momentum kit i don't think it's a huge risk. The bigger concern I have is the limited options i have with the charger.

SOHO kit might not be a good idea with your car (exhaust back pressure), between the two I’d opt for the BP kit with a T4 turbo.

Very untrue sir, we have sold about 10 kits to customers in the US and even in Canada, we have even sold a kit to Hills Garage for a customer of theirs if you would like to speak with Frank over there.

Here is the build log of the tablet install in my car for those who are interested. Eventually when everything is up and running, DashCommand will be used.
