Yeah, they can suck sometimes, but the community there is pretty great. And now they all know about your kit and are excited. I had to correct the article right off the bat and they only changed the number in the post, nothing else. Hopefully they'll be better in the future.

Exciting days these are. Good work here.
I agree with the large majority... get me to the mid 200 whp, give me some nice turbo whine and a nice loud whooshy bov and ill be a happy camper. Im a sucker for whooshy bovs.

Someone should contact them and set the story straight. It makes the car look inferior!

You'll make all your money back VERY soon. And then become rich and retire. Well maybe not all that but more than likely you'll have my money.

They are mechanically identical so it doesn't matter which one was used.
That fact should be on the top 10 list of things to know about these cars.
