My guess is that Greddy contracted with a manufacturer in China to make their turbo kits and that manufacturer is now selling Greddy's intellectual property under a different name. It's common practice in China.

Only complaints I have seen are from owners butthurt that other people don't want to buy a cheap knock off turbo kit. But that's none of my business.

I don't believe there has been any claims that the SBD turbo kit is going to blow up your fa20.
But, the issue is "is it really not a knock off of the Greddy kit?". Which the majority of people, from my exposure on the topic, seem to agree that it is. SBD of course denies all claims and accusations.

Want proof, look at all the 100% direct copies of RC vehicles done by Chinese companies. Lots are even advertised as being 100% compatible with the originals. It has been happening for years, and unfortunately there's no laws protecting the original companies. Example: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...x_Compat_.html

I don't recall reading about any owners complaining . I for one don't give a rats ass about what you want to buy or not. I'm not sure if you're in the same boat or not but there sure seem to be a lot of butthurt from people. It's like we're the red headed step child on this forum or something just because we decided to go with sbd.

I did not bump a thread, it was ongoing. You need to look at the post date in the post before mine's, pretty easy to see that I did not bump

Everything is made in China, except babies. They are made in VaChina.
