For example in the thread Greddy made, there responses were all bunch of crap. Just look at their responses to what people are calling them out for.


@spdbydesign should be called speed by someone elses design like someone pointed out in the thread below. Its a shame Admins lock threads like this just because Greddy isnt paying to be a vendor. They are just simply letting us know that they copied their design. Greddy as a company doesnt need any more advertising. Their name on the turbo itself already is enough for them to sell and make money from. I cant stand companies like them who just copy. Vivid Racing/Agency Power are no different either.

Shame on the mods. The least they could do is let that thread be open so more people will know before they spend their money on knock off quality parts. I wouldnt be surprised if this costs some peoples cars because they are using turbos that are knock offs.

I appreciate your rant, but stay out of my personal thread. Also, do your research before you start making claims. People are acting like this is the first time in the history of the car industry that a part has been copied. Is it okay? That's morally debatable, is it peoples free choice to buy whatever they want, sure as is.

For future reference, it is not a knock off turbo. It's a single scroll Mitsubishi 20g. Same turbo that comes off the Evo 10, but with a different exhaust housing. And as far as quality, if this kit falls apart you'd better be sure id make that public, but I don't see that happening soon. For some reason people are acting like whoever buys this kit is stealing money out of your own pocket.
