Default Pdanrichey Inside please....

Here's positive proof of STS kits that you might find interesting. More reasoning for me not to purchase a kit like that or even build one.

You think positive proof is one guy having that problem compared to how many that are happy with the kit? Who cares...I know I don't! If the turbo is capable of putting down 20psi and all I need is 8 of that, big whoop if it's producing 13-14 at the turbo and only 8 at the manifold. I DO NOT CARE!
Just because you did it one way does not make it the only right way to do it. How many ways are there to skin a cat? Pick one and go for it...any of the many ways will get the job done!

All I care about is that my car runs well and that I'm happy with the results. Now, what's so wrong with that?

Nothing is wrong with it. But I like throwing jabbs since you started at me in the other thread. Quite fun when people wake up to realization that down the road is when it matters. Pay for it twice. Doesnt make a **** to me. Your IQ is higher then mine so you must make more money..LOL

well i work at discount tire co. as well (part time) and im pretty sure he does make more money than you (unless your name is tom and your the AVP).


so just what is the point of making a thread in the middle of the day just to flame some one? shouldnt you be changing tires/yelling at the techs/jacking off at a computer inside the store/being banged in the *** by your store manager (while tring to grab his *****)??


lol, in which store do you work?
