Sorry, Seems kinda childish on his part to me. I don't expect everyone here to see this from my point of view but the P in PM is private, got to ask before starting a rant page with my PM's just to keep people from buying a kit elsewhere. <-- that was the purpose of the threads start.
I wont say anymore on this, I know I wont be the popular one here. But try to put yourselves into my shoes here.

Then go pay more somewhere else. He is only educating us about what to look out for if your dealing with someone else. (Which I would only buy from Bob) Im pretty sure he can meet or beat any price for the same product. Sorry you had to be the example and got all butt hurt. Its really not that big of a deal. In all reality how did that affect you?

FC Customs will more than likely get yanked from being a ProCharger dealer for putting low prices into print.
Thanks! Bob

this is to keep competition level between its distributors, so that the distributors can afford to keep being a seller of procharger while they reap the benefits of running a healthy company supported by man shops.
its good you are covering your *** as much as possible.

Here is what I just replied to him.
Make sure they are selling you the 1GJ204-SCI kit, which is the 8 rib kit and comes with the larger 4.5" intercoolers. I can tell you right now it is not, it is a P-1SC kit that is upgraded to a D-1SC head unit. You would be getting the six rib belt system and the smaller 3.5" intercoolers. How do I know this? Because I am sure they are not selling a ProCharger at a huge loss. Bob

Nowhere did I ever link this pm to anyone here on LS1Tech. You did that yourself. Bob

I ended up buying a kit for around 3 grand with only a few hundred miles on it, and it is the six rib with the smaller intercoolers. I think the kit will be fine as I am going to be only running about 7-8 psi through it. I guess when it blows I will already have the d1 on there and just have to upgrade to the 8 rib with the FMIC. It depends on how you look at it, for some this type of starter kit it is just fine and the d1 just makes it that much better; but someone more hardcore looking for 13lbs of boost out of the box bobs kit seems to be the way to go.

If the six rib kit is what someone wants, I'll be happy to sell it to them. I just want to make sure everyone is on the same page. Bob

+1 on another happy EPP customer here. For those who are bashing them, its obvious you haven't dealt with them. It's also obvious from those of us that have dealt with EPP that we all have shared the same experience. Great prices, along with outstanding customer service.
Several of my items from my car are from EPP. I was one of the first ones with their custom FMIC's. Bob knows his stuff, and will always cut you a killer deal most anyone can't beat. EPP's not making hardly any profit off their parts because they sell them so cheep. They make their money keeping happy individuals like myself coming back for more, and having work done on their cars.
I used to shop around for the best prices between several shops. Now, I don't even bother because Bob always seems to have the best deals. A deep "Thanks" to EPP from me for all the hard work, and killer deals you have helped me with.

i know i dont have a supercharger...but dam has bob helped me out a few times with motor questions and turbo question...and i have not even bought a single thing from him!
if this guy wants to be mad at bob for trying to warn us about this then let it be. he didnt post anything about your name...and no one made you post in this like you did...could have said thanks for him pointing this out and not letting you buy this and realize it after it shows up.
