I didn't have any of the issues @Gen mentioned. He has definitely had Shit Luck with his kit.

To be completely transparent, I have an early-ish kit (I bought mine after KingTut, but I was a pretty early adopter) and I can tell you there have been revisions on ones manufactured more recently. Having looked at one last week, the downpipe has more clearance with the fans and the coolant lines are different.

To also be transparent, I did contact Fullblown about almost every single issue. Did they miss it? I don't know, but it's not really worth getting in to. I've said what I needed to in the past. After investing a lot of money and time, the kit works now, so that's why I'm selling. I didn't want to hand a problem to someone else.

We stand behind our products 110% and I wish he would of contact us directly so we can see what was going on. If he did and we missed it, then I apologize.

Sorry to see you are selling it, and I hope you get good money for it. I would think that the @FullBlown warranty would transfer over to the new owner should any issues arise. What are your plans for the car now?

Definitely, used or new. If it has our name on it, we will take care of you.

Probably the Innovate supercharger. CARB legal and It's within about 10 WHP on crappy CA 91.

I look forward to your results. I really wanted the Innovate when it was first released at SEMA way back in 2012. I just came to the realization that it wasn't going to get me the 300 whp on 93 octane that I wanted.

Yeah, it definitely won't. On 91 the difference is pretty minimal, unfortunately.

Brady may contact you @FullBlown about possibility of referbishing my manafold. He priced me a new one so if it's a loss it's no biggy.just throwing it out there. That took a good hit in the accident. Everything else was okay

After all we did to my car my fbm kit was hands down the best decision I made.
