Yep, you're all going to burn for this.

So, how about that official report?

Not many people seem to have considered the installer could have made a fuck up?

As much as I doubt Vis****i is qualified to engineer a lollipop, let alone a car, I do think there's a slight witch hunt going on here.

Haha V******i is now considered profanity.


If there's anything I've learned from this thread, it's that there's a limit to the amount of tags a thread can have. Such a shame...

I too, thought this. But l've read that multiple users of the FF kit had fuel leaks. This lends me to believe it's the product, not the installer.

Oh.. and so.. many... unicorns....

"User install error" were thrown at us "leakers" quite a lot in the FF kit thread. I think we got tired of that one real fast.

I won't say if the FF leaking issues had anything to do with brzturbo's car but if you're asking me solely about the FF kit itself, I'll gladly lead the pitchfork wielding mob.

I had to dissemble my fuel system to install my Innovate supercharger. It never caught on fire or leaked gas... must have been made correctly or something. Huh...... IT DID COME WITH DIRECTIONS THOUGH!

My ECU was the first to london and back. I even wrote a writeup on the removal, and broke the cable to my ECU in the process. The clips on the plugs are rather brittle.

So, it's not really like he was shelling out $$ to be the hero.
I was the thrid. Had to sleep at work as I flashed my car there. Mine was due to death of my laptop at 94% but john couldn't fix it after numerous attempts told me to get my ecu out and get ready to send it off only to have the ECUTek guys themselves remote me and fix my car first try.

Deff not blaming John for what happened but he wasn't a peach to deal with thats for sure


@brzturbo Glad you are okay and hope everything works out I completely understand if this sours you from these cars as well.

side note I love how depressing this thread started off and how funny in ended up. LOL soo many good post and tags

My question was had more scope than just that, though. Shouldn't a decent tuner/installer be able to identify a crap product?
