Well, go ahead and speak freely. It's odd though that he went from 5+ post a day to 2 post since the 19th. He's also locked all of the threads he was able to, and went into hiding when the $ hit the fan. Any reputable vendor would have tried to calm the masses and correct the issues.

The only thing I can think of is he's in way over his head. There's a situation going on up here in chicago with a local hot rod shop. The owner didn't pay his rent for 4 months and was deep in the hole. He shot up his office and fled with the computers. Now the community is trying to find everyone who has cars in the shop.

Toni has a history of being a fly by night, and it seems like things are coming full circle for him.

That PTuning kit looks pretty spectacular. If I had better gas, and a bigger budget, I would have gone with that kit.

i can say from experience that the FBM kit is a shit ton easier to tune than the FA20Club kit, mainly due to the better MAF placement. to toni's credit he's supposed to be working on a revised MAF tube to solve the issues myself and others were having, but we haven't seen it yet.

Don't worry, FA20Club is in the title, and @lexusb3 will be here shortly.

There are many owners (other than @Frs300 ) who installed the FBM kit themselves and can help you as well.

Sad part is I have worked in dealerships all my life. From being a mechanical technician to service writer/ body shop estimator. Only time my car is at the dealership is when I am borrowing the lift.

Thats the only reason i would have a car at the dealership if i worked at one, borrowing a lift. Until i could afford my own lift

i used to work in the service dept of a kia dealership. taught me one thing: modern kias are damn reliable cars. those things never come in for anything but scheduled maintenance. i remember growing up in my grandparents shop there was never a day that there wasn't a 'higher end' car getting wheel bearings or cv joints replaced. 2 years at a kia dealer? not a single one.

craziness.
