fquick scam?
fquick scam? ok i got a message from someone on fquick, asking me if he can install a twin turbo set up on my car at cost for $1600, and then use my car to advertise. anyone else get this message?
yup...i got the same message...he's asking for $1000 up front. I'm talking to him to see whats up. I think its a scam tho, don't get your hopes up.

I'm sure the farther you go with it, the more caution flags will be raised.
If I had a great idea for a twin turbo set-up, was independent, and wanted to mass produce after using a test mule (since one of your main motivations would be to make money), I would go to a shop that works on the type of vehicle you want to make it for, and pitch it to them. Anything less than that is suspicious, not very well-thought out, or destined for failure.

but on the other hand, my car is pretty amazing, i could see why he would want it 
Think of it this way:
1. would the $1600 cover the costs of the supplies?
2. is he doing something unique (it hasn't been done before)?
If you answer "no" to either or both of these, you then have to ask yourself:
1. what's his motivation?
2. what does he hope to gain out of this endeavor?
Answer: __________ (fill in the blank)
I'll even go further and say if 3 people volunteer from this site and he accepts all 3 of you, then the answer should be easy.
^ yea thats what im thinking. its seems like hes asking way too many people. unless the turbo's he wants to install are those electric ones from ebay... it all makes sense now!
