im starting to wonder, if peter is no longer working at aps, is he doing this from where he lives? could a mod do an IP check to help us find where the bastard is posting from, whether it is at aps or some where else?

And factor in how much upgrading the turbo's cost,not to mention all the headache everyone is going through. Besides.....GenTT offered upgraded turbos as well straight from them that were REAL just leave it at that. Ive seen both kits in person.

Aps used to have a good rep I can only imagine how far down this idiot has dragged a company that at one point was good. I'm glad I didn't pony up the money back when this kit first came out only to be shafted by that limey bugger

Lol chaman. That made me laugh.

I agree things are getting out of hand. Let's try to stay on topic to find out if we can get the manifolds made. That would really be a kick in the ***** to Peter.

My humble opinion:

Those who have never bought an APS system, and never plan to, should dial it down. and stop posting.

Peter should stop posting those taunting messages. Come on. You've got a number of past customers in this thread and you are acting like that. Come on.

That was weak. I can't imagine his sponsorship money keeps this board alive. Just ban his *** and it'll be done.

John has tried to keep this thread as calm as possible and to call his response "weak" is an insult to him. He left it open as an informative thing for us to read and learn from......not as a place to post the "f" word four or five times a sentence. As he said before, he's not in a position to ban them from the site because they are sponsors. Thats on another level. John, I'd respectfully say to you that it's time to lock it down. I learned what I needed in some ways...who NOT to buy anything from when it comes time. Thanks for the patience......

No disrespect to PSJ, but that response WAS weak. Peter has been blowing off customers (and insulting them to boot!). Alot of people have been ripped off. How would you feel if that was your money wasted?

Cant we the LS1 tech members take a pole or vote to have him removed from this site and state that his APS services are no longer wanted since he never held up his end of the deal when he promated and stated that we were getting quality tested MIT turbos with our kits? ((which we all know now was a lie)) and constitutes a banning right there IMO because of his misleading information and plus,,,the stopping of the APS F body and GM kits leaves all of us *** out ,if we ever need a replacement part after there stock runs out. This is no diffrent then owning a INCON TT kit now . I know if anybody else on here ever did something like this THEY WOULD BE GONE! wheather being a sponsor or not! This sends a ((BAD))message to all of the slime ***** out there that my be thinking of becomeing sponsors and saleing their known or unknown bum product here on LS1 tech with no fear of recourse.The message (IS) As long as you pay your sponser dues,,,, you can sale any piece of **** product you want and nothing will be done to you! This is whats being said to all future sponsors of this site guys and if this is how it is now ?Me ,myself,I will never buy from another sponsor from this site again, as APS has allready cost me over $4000 to fix what APS wouldnt! And this is on top of the $5000 i paid for the kit !We need to talk to somebody guys before this BAD message gets out about how easy this site is to rip people off ((as long as you pay your monthly sponsor dues)) $

i do agree with things you said but you cannot take it out on another sponsor. so many sponsors on here hold a good rep and do what they say they will do. youre always going to get one bad one every once in a while

Excuse me but why should I stop posting? For one I seriously considered this kit, and second, I do feel the need to voice my opinion. In a way am supporting all the guys who went ahead and bought it just to be involved in the middle of a fraud.

I'm part of the LS1TECH community and situations like this affect us ALL.

This thread became out of hand when this Peter character started insulting guys here, behaving like he owned this place with little intervention from the admins here.

Im in no way intending to be disrespectful to PSJ but intervening in the thread in such a condescending attitude is indeed weak. I know there is a lot of frustration from everyone but this guy NEEDS to be dealt with.

I'm with you guys and truly feel for what has happen here, wish I could do more...

Will stay quiet for know just to not hurt sensibilities around here but will follow this thread hoping that justice prevails...good luck guys!

I'm thinking about calling APS and asking the their operator to connect my call to Peter. When they ask who is calling I should say, "This is Pete Mann a.k.a. xXxSilveradoxXx." I should record the call just for the jest factor.
In all honesty though, somebody should call.

That's 100% true. I'm sure there are terms to being a sponsor, somebody should see if there is a rule about this.

Like I said before, I'm working on wording that thread correctly!

I personally would like this thread to live on until APS goes under. If this thread was ever locked, before APS goes out of business, I would hope that it would become a sticky so it could stand as a warning about APS for all time.

I'll give you that to your credit Pete. I'm just thinking that at this point it's serving no real purpose short of giving APS business they've probably already lost anyway. Nobody should be bashing John for trying to keep it civil though. Know what I mean?
