Answer my questions and don't run away from this conversation.

You and I are done conversing. Your attitude and aggression aren’t conductive moving forward. See my response above. That’s all you get. If anyone else has questions regarding the situation or circumstances such as moderators or prospective customers, post them up. I’ll answer honestly as I have been.

Name each tuner that said the turbo was dog shit. Right now. Post it up. Lets go bud.

My mechanic that installed it and tuned it with Fred from UM said, "it is a pig" and Fred said he doesn't like hybrids in general and that he wouldn't push the TPC20 past 380whp/wtq.

And, this new TPC38BB is pushing 30 psi at 4500rpm, almost 1000rpm later than an is38. Very close to dog/pig territory if not already there. For now, I'm happy with the bump in power but as I drive it more, we shall see how the laginess effects my chances on keeping this.

Yeah I said in my initial post. I said he replaced it. And it worked for a period of time. I never said otherwise. Come on man you’re focusing on one thing when I have presented a whole picture. You did this in Springer’s thread also. Of course nick is gonna take care of it. That’s besides the point. I won’t be responding to you going forward because we all know you have interests/stakes in TPC. I also don’t want to muddy up the thread and have it deleted bc it’s important people know the truth which I have not misrepresented. .
Absolutely not.

You called me out. You are the dropping slanderous shit with no info despite me helping you.

So you are running away from a problem you started...cool cool.

I don't want this thread locked. I want it aired out what I'm talking about is the meat of the issue. You muddied up your own thread. With only sharing half the convo, pointing fingers at others and refusing to admit what you were told in actuality.

Also you made it personal. Not a fan.

Yes. Let’s keep it civil so that the info is out there. Or we can even lock it so it doesn’t get worse but people are still aware.
Not getting locked period. The vendor deserves a chance to provide feedback.

Glad you posted this. I didn’t want to say Fred or UM specifically bc I know that was info you told me and I didn’t want to bring it up. But glad you brought it up.

Do this with your entire convo with TPC and 5150 and EQT or whoever else. You can't speak for anyone else

ANd your on stock charge pipes like wtf. I gave you mysetup.

I think you are just mad that have gave that upgrade to the other user and decided to do a big post on it because you are salty for some reason.

But you threw him into this. Your initial post specifically mentions him and suggests we should "disregard anything he has to say." I am not suggesting either of you is correct/incorrect in this situation, I'm only following along. But how exactly were you expecting him to react here? Does seem rather personal.

True. That’s my mistake. Good point you make. But it is what it is. All the convo is posted up. I have nothing to hide. Most of the convo wasn’t relevant so I didn’t post it all. But there it is. Like I said before. If anyone has issue with what I’ve said ask about it.

fact remains: Three turbos blown in less than 3k miles each. Told not to talk about it. Employees pushing the turbos hard. Just letting people know it’s not that great in my experience. Buyer beware, take your chances.
