08 do you work for DT? or is it just a coincidence you have the same IP Address?

Not only that, KW has documented their progression with their kit on this site thoroughly and has been tested and printed in Siphon Magazine. You don't usually see a hot rod company make items for a small Japanese car...just saying...again my $0.02...
I have noticed that. With such a history its hard to deny some of those facts. This is true, what was the history with Doug Thorley? Does anyone know how they got involved?

Oh dood, you are so phishing for an answer...sorry, but I'm not obliged to elaborate, I'll let the others get into if they so choose. And you were called out...I'd suggest answering the question above...

Sounds like a sensitive subject. Either way, as a consumer I like to get all the facts I can before I make a big purchase.

It can be when you're a mod on this forum and sometimes your words can be misinterpreted...I'll have to stay out of this one, I'm not one to start confrontations or arguments...just a passive little engineering Asian nerd hahahah...

Definitely agree you need all the facts before making a decision though...

I appreciate your truthfulness. Hopefully, this thread will not be plagued with what seems to have destroyed others, and instead be a true representative fact database that people can make their own decisions without the impedance of pure nay-saying and whos is better. Rather, a unbiased FACTS sheet.

You should stop with this buffoonery between two supercharges....
It isn't correct!!!
I think that It's better trusting JDMChis who tested it rather then some graph....
After all the basic project is the same, so for few more dollars I'd prefer buying the top...
This is only my opinion....

you know i have waited so long for this damn sc and all of a sudden another option popped up that was available now vs sometime soon (but not like the soon we were saying months ago; but for reals soon this time) *sorry for the sarcasm.


it just felt like i was being jerked around, then all of a sudden chris got into a huge fight on the boards with some of kraftwerks former partners. So all i have to say now, is i'll just wait until this or some alternative carb eo kit falls to my price-point of say 2500 ish which should be about a year (ive already waited what seems like a year for the KW kit anyways, so what's a couple more months). plus the second run of kits should really have all the problems ironed out by the early adopters.

How come that 08XR (OP guy) didn't answer JDMchris inquiry about if he works for DT (same IP address???)

I personally don't want to hear sh*t from someone posing as an innocent by-stander with an agenda of complicating this whole s/c thing or promoting their product deceptively. It would not speak well of a company to be up to such shenanigans.

Any chance of you clearing the air on the question about your IP address, 08XR?

Locking this thread. We are going to clean up and make a separate thread for DT versus KW comparisons, and a DT only discussion thread. The DT versus KW thread will be monitored extremely closely.
