And how often do you see people on here about their Greddy kit (the answer is "often" to the greddy kit)? I think if FR built a solid kit, and you aren't power-hungry for 600 WHP, 6k in unsuspecting problems would be unnecessary.
Good luck then. Let me know how you make out. I guarantee that if you go turbo, no matter how well the kit is made or how great the tune is you will have a problem eventually. And the reason you see so many issues with GReddy is because it's the majority owned kit. How many own AJP on here? 2? And I guarantee that they had a few issues that were never even posted. Also, the amount of people on this site make up a very small amount of the actual people that are boosted. And another thing is the people you are reading about that are not having any issues are the people that belong to a forum. These people learn from the mistakes of others that post their disasters and how to avoid them. Go work for a speed shop and then tell me the same thing. You WILL have a problem eventually somewhere. Trust me.
