Under no circumstances i am a hater. I am actually quite proud that someone young from such a small country like Greece has the dream and the guts in this economy to do this type of research. However...

...I am just quoting the tuner. Numerous times he claimed that his turbos outperform everything out there.

I was expecting to see that with Tony Palo's car, since again according to the tuner his parts are pure racing parts and some of the claims will only work on high end builds. Well if Tony's car is not a high end build, then what is?

If you follow this and the other locked thread in the dyno section people were calling it like they saw it and we're being called haters, asked to be patient, insinuations that if it was a BR or AWD thread it wouldn't have gotten as out of hand as it had/did........blah blah blah. Now ET leaves the site having proven NOTHING and the same people defending them are now blaming the members of the community that either weren't fooled, had legit questions or called ET on their BS for their departure. What have we as a community loss again?

Calls for apologies and whatnot.......nothing has been proven. The only recorded legit testing done by a reputable racer from a different car world and he is in search for a replacement already.


You missed the fun homie.

no i follow all the threads, even some threads that most here cannot, since they are in the Greek forums... I am of Greek origin and a BIG car fan but i like facts and proven results as well, not just theories and ifs...

I hope that the OP will finish his car so we can see how these parts perform in this side of the Atlantic!

If you are referring to my call for an apology, I was talking about yours and others repeated and continuous beating of the proverbial dead horse. We can all see what's going on for ourselves so the play by play by play by play from others who have nothing to do with the build itself was getting rather old. You yourself called ET a scammer and said you hope the OP gets his parts. Well he is finally starting to get some so lets just sit back let him finish his build so we can get some numbers.

To the OP, good luck with your build. ET made some very lofty and extreme claims. Lets hope they can come to fruition in your car stateside. I for one will be keeping a close eye.

ON that we can agree. I wish Joe the best. ET leaving the site is good riddance in my opinion. I love innovation, new tech, new players, fresh blood. I absolutely HATE when someone tries to play me like I'm an idiot and I feel like that's what ET was doing with everyone here.

If nothing else they've learned you can't talk crazy and not show and prove.

Im also willing to help you do the test, if you need a tuner and/or dyno.

Wow. I have been trying to catch up and read through all these pages. I feel bad for OP. IMO it looks like this ET shop isnt all its cracked up to be. They were asked to provide some dyno graphs, and there response was basically, "oh no, just wait we got a better one coming soon". No proof was posted just promises of magical power and zero lag turbos coming soon. I hope he doesnt get scammed.

IDK, if I had that kind of money to throw in a project I might just be tempted to buy the STM Ricer or the Bad Bish and have fun with that.

I should have had results already, hopefully Collin refunds my money soon (or delivers my parts) so I can get back to work.
Where do Extreme Tuners say their 58mm, 11 bladed comp wheel stock frame turbo will do 650hp?!

I find that quite remarkable considering the FP Black has a 82mm billet compressor.

the ET 58MM TURBO refers to the inducer size. (inlet diameter)
FP black has 59mm inducer.
