It wouldn't be a bad idea.

Unfortunately, yes. They see the cheap kit cost, but wind up paying more in the long run.

Its your money and car but I would have that shit off my car as soon as possible. In my opinion, its an endorsement in the product no matter what.
This is how I see it, a lot of people look for the cliff notes in life. In this case, they are looking for dyno sheets and build specs. They are not going to read all your old posts or "walls of text", when they are just looking for ideas on their own builds. But thats just my opinion and all. I know its money and basically the same design as what you have already. So take this as a worthless rant showing sympathy towards your situation along with some ptsd from my personal experiences down this road.

or he could just not mention what "kit" his build is and say "custom"

pixel67 · 03-19-2014, 10:16 PM

Spare kit...and neither one would fit.

So here is a thought. If most of Toni's parts are a rip off of someone else's design, is it really an fa20club kit? Less the pipes, everything else is aftermarket anyway. Delicious will be tuning mine in a couple weeks so hopefully I can finally get mine running the way I thought it would when I bought it. Can't wait to see the Prime build out!

Why does someone need a spare turbo kit?

This is a serious question.

I've seen turbo kits literally disintegrate in less than 20k miles. Heck the 2005 factory Foresters didn't last much longer.

I understand, I just want people on here to understand that this car was thrown into the fire over here during a very busy time for us. I would love to get everything situated as fast as possible but I can not turn away from builds that were waiting already. There is also another FRS here getting a build that fell slightly ahead of his car. That car should be finished within a week and then we can pull everything apart on @Frs300 car and then make a post about what we find.

we have not discussed anything in terms of turbo kits. Priority right now is the motor. The kit really is not bad, its just shady what he did by removing anything on the turbo that suggests what model it is.

P&L Stage 2 is available btw

cat in up pipe and the screen in oil line were terrible ideas.
