Installed my SBD turbo kit today (pics)

[DriftinFRS]

This kit is really nice, everything looks quality. Sad the frs community has so many name brand nut huggers. If the product is quality... the name on it is irrlevant. I know im not gonna pay a extra 1k because it says Greddy.

[Suddenly...]

To be honest I like the look of this kit. I understand Greddy's point of view on the matter, but this is a thread on the install of the SBD kit, as per the thread name. There is a thread discussing the nature of the issues between Greddy and ZAGE, SBD etc (I think its still going?). Why can't the comments about stolen designs etc etc go on that thread instead?

My 2c worth

Why do people support companies like this? Clearly a Greddy Turbo Kit knock off. Who will they copy from after those companies that actually innovate and do RnD go out of business? People shouldnt support such companies. Its bad for the scene and just means less innovation if people keep supporting such crap companies.

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.

You mean the aliens will probably abduct those cars and eat them because taiwanese parts are so tasty (and nicely designed) ?

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.

I know you are dissing them, which is kind of ironic since you bought the knock off of their product....

I don't think think he needs to be banned. People need to just keep this stuff in a relevant thread. It's just getting tiring.

Why is it that FI threads have more fighting in them than most any other sub forum.

Shit started rolling downhill from the Turbo vs. SC days and has never stopped.

All good, just didn't seem logically sound but then again this forum is like that, internet wins again.
