i think this thread should be renamed 'BroScience Gone Wild!'
while i understand the good intentions of this thread, creating dyno graphs on interpolated data based on dyno runs of non-similarly modified vehicles and quality issue graphs based on only partial and self-admitted flawed data seems a bit misleading and irresponsible.

if you are going to compare dyno graphs in an overlay format...you cant use different cars...and you certainly cannot use different cars with different mods tested on different dynos.

if you are going to have a discussion about quality....shouldn't we take an emergency room approach and triage the issues? perhaps you can weight the issues factoring in 1)how easily and quickly can the issue be resolved 2)how catastrophic are the effects of the issue. certainly a mispackaged bolt is less serious issue than a design related issue that snaps belts and leaves you stranded by the side of the road.

i feel i can freely speak for KW when i say...
1) KW has and will continue to actively resolve any reported issues. customer service is very important to us. Seems like most of the 'issues' we have experienced are packaging related issues which result in inconvenience more than anything, nonetheless we deeply apologize for any inconvenience our packaging issues have caused or for any missed expectations in terms of service level. We are constantly taking corrective and preventative measures internally to improve our service and we stand behind our products.
2) an important point to note about the KW kit is that it is available with a you-tune big-blower C38 option that will easily make upwards of 400-500hp.
what is maximum possible upgraded hp with the other kits? and how much of their kit needs to be replaced to achieve that? KW just requires you to replace the blower and injectors+pump when you want to upgrade or you can just order it with the big blower option now if you wanted.
3) utlimately we are confident in the design, quality, and performance of our kit and we realize that time and happy customers will be the true test. my personal belief is that as time progresses you will see the KW kit gap the field. hopefully all the spin and misleading information in the BroScience gone wild thread wont color the views of the unsophisticated and uninitiated.
