Incorrect. This is, in fact, the internet and the OP's question was a legitimate one, albeit a little misworded. The manner in which this Treadstone fellow responded in turn to the OP and other members was unprofessional and lacked any kind of tact.

Our reputation isn't on the line here, so my picture was not unwarranted, his on the other hand is.

Hey OP, I hope you find a donor car and figure out a nice turbo kit for our cars. Please ignore the internet forum trolls. Please note their post count and join date. I know mine isn't much better here but these guys are definitely not representative of this community that I've been following for a while.

Would you not agree that your written response would have been a much more intellectually effective and tactful (your words) to communicate this?

I'll reitterate: "Our reputation is not on the line...", "his is."

I enjoy using humor to convey a message, especially a picture of Donald Trump.

I'll take my leave here, as I have no business in this thread.

IMO the lack of information in the first post warranted such a question on the 2nd post. No information at all about about the type of turbo, EM, etc. etc.

It was pretty much "yo, I need a car to make a turbo...."

Greetings,

My name is Omar and I am the Head of Engineering and Design at Treadstone Performance Engineering. I would first like to ask for your forgiveness for the previous post, the employee that perpetrated those acts has been reprimanded and you will not be hearing from him again. All communication will go thru me from now on. To answer some of the questions/comments posted earlier,

1. We will provide a signed agreement to all participating parties, making Treadstone Performance Engineering liable for any damages to the vehicle while it is in our care.

2. Treadstone Performance Engineering was incorporated in 2006 and has been in businesses for 10 years

3. Treadstone Performance Engineering DID NOT buy-out Turbonetics; however we did buy out the rights to several of their kits including the 350Z, Scion tC and Nissan SpecV among others. We have always maintained a very close relationship with Turbonetics and consider them a close ally in the performance field.

4. As for kit specifications a Borg Warner EFR 6758 internally wastegated, with a low mounting location. We chose a low mounting location for a stealth appearance, minimal piping to improve throttle response and to keep weight down and center of gravity as low as possible.

Again thank you for all of your comments and opinions if you have any further question or like more detailed information please feel free to call 888-789-4586 or email info@treadstoneperformance.com

We can also be reached through our website at treadstoneperformance.com

Regards,
Omar

Thanks Omar. We should probably get a mod to delete this thread and let you start a new one with this post.

Ah, the land of dissapeared threads.

Even though it's the small frame turbo, I'd throw mine your way if I knew when it would be here.

Oh, well. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Thanks for the information. What type of compensation will the donor vehicle's owner expect to receive?
