Yeah, looks like all Kraftwerks posts after 01-29-2014 have been deleted and all gsmii posts after 02-18-2014.

You can bet they were deleted for a reason. There's no sense in the mindless drama. I think we all need to dismiss some of the past postings and look ahead to what updates we may be expecting from KW in the coming weeks

That's the thing, one of the deleted Kraftwerks posts did talk about the future. It talked about plans for distributing cogged pulleys, target MSRP for the oil cooler, a potential 6-week time until the oil cooler was released, etc etc. There was a lot of good stuff there; gone now.

One of the better posts in the thread, for sure. @KraftWerks, please re-post.

My guess is that the true reason posts were deleted has to do with Vendor status.

@Zach3794, we're not here for trouble or drama.

Our post was deleted because we were speaking about our product and were not "vendors" at the time the post was put up, no big deal, the forum has bills that need to be paid, we understand that. Here is the post that was removed, it was ONLY posted to help inform the community:

We’re going to try to answer as many questions as possible as simply as possible. Kraftwerks is the result of over 19 years of high-performance parts manufacturing experience, the last thing we would do is “rush” a kit to market, that being said there is always urgency and excitement behind our products.

Regarding the tune, as always there are improvements and modifications as time goes by, we are looking into this and will have more information shortly. We have no need to participate in the assumptions or finger pointing here, whatever the case people are making great power with the Kraftwerks kit and we like that!

Kraftwerks has been taking notes and would like everyone to know we recognize a few things we can improve for the BRZ/FRS community. Out of the many kits sold we might have had a few kits missing some small components, we’re working on improving our packaging system. Please understand your kit is hand packed by Kraftwerks staff members and sometimes us humans can miss things, we apologize for that.

Updates:
-Improved instructions coming shortly with FRS bumper modification requirements, improved oil line routing and a revised reservoir mounting location.
-Customers wanting the quiet tooth idler pulley will receive the new component at no charge, call tags will be issued when the new cog pulley has arrived. We are expecting to have them headed to customers doors by March 28th - please contact us with shipping address at support@kraftwerksusa.com.
-FRS/BRZ Oil Cooler Kits should be available in 5-6 weeks, contact us for target pricing.

While we try to do the best we can, things do not always go our way, we want to make sure every customer is taken care of in a timely manner. Please feel free to contact us so we can make it right.

@KraftWerks, wasn't saying you or I was. Glad you're involved at this point and continuing to improve the kit.

And the problem is that little quirks get blown out of proportion so readily....give it time for KW to take care of the little things, and if you have a more immediate issue like missing bits I'm sure that they'll take care of you right then.

Kraftwerks Supercharger Owners Thread

So any new owners? I haven't added anyone in weeks. New dyno sheets?
@captain_jack - are you doing the JDL EL test fit? They said someone from Tuscon was coming up to see them and you're the only one I see on here.

I guess so, they just asked if I could come up and do a a fitment double check. I'm going up to dyno tune anyways so I said sure. I want sure what they were test fitting.
