(update)
Things have seemed to calm down for now (for now being the key word here), I will continue to order from both companies. I do suggest to all my customers past, present, and future if they see this stuff going on again do yourself a favor and avoid the bs. I will do my best to keep my opinions to myself cause the reality of it is both have done some great things for this community and should be respected for their contributions.
Thanks guys.

After seeing the sick kit Descendant posted i'm gonna save up for their kit after I finish building the engine. That one little retard pipe is annoying and there really isn't that big of a point tricking out this kit since it is a log mani and the turbo has been rebuilt so many times.
EDIT: Don't think your gonna get out of making a blow through MAF though since I can just put that on a small 2.5 angle piece and use couplers to put it in

no need...i have a couple of turbo intake pipes for an 07 ready to go...all in black though.
Like i said before i don't weld aluminum, just don't have the stuff to do it or the experience.

im faster than a rsx type-s with bolt ons
