Incredibly True. I don't know if Mike is a rip off specialist or just a really bad business man but I would never buy anything from them.

They are kinda one in the same. I dont understand bad busniness. I think some people use it as an excuse so they are legal con artist. I dont know anything about this guy, but if i were you i would go with a tested company who has shown to be very customer oriented. However it is your money.

I was gonna say something mean, like "I bet I could get his mom to blow me".

But that would just be wrong. I mean, why would his mother buy me a turbo before her own seed? That'd be a disgrace

Stafford is crap, its all make shift and seriously not engineered. Sure SF will claim high numbers for output, but as in a couple people i know who had their turbo kits on 01-02 corolla 1zfe motors , those kits pretty much trashed the engine after a month. Boost leaks, heat soak issues, the turbos and intake piping were mounted all goofy. There was no thought put in to the tuning of those cars and how rediculous the ECU is about timing. I wouldnt trust SF, wait a year for a big name company to put out a decent kit for the r18 and the si
