Who cares if they apologize now, they ran the company off the forum

I think it funny how certain companies on here are untouchable. I guarantee if the stuff that was being said to ET was being said to one of the "untouchables", the thread would be locked and deleted. Not gonna mention names, if you been on here long enough im sure you know

You should contact Noize so he can open the other thread.

I am glad you received your parts.

They haven't sent all of his parts yet. All we've seen is a turbo and a rear subframe (may even be produced by someone else... like Magnus...or the other shop in the UK that sells them)

This is far from complete evidence that ET is "coming through" Joe doesn't have 18k dollars worth of parts yet.

If you would like to go back through the pages of bull **** where Spyros takes credit for other people's work and blatantly lies to us about the manifolds... and try to tell me otherwise... I'm all ears.

I suggest you wait like everyone else for all of Joe's parts to show up. ET has been a flake since they stepped foot in this arena and this is the first we've seen of them "coming though"

Here is my Extreme Tuners 58mm 11 Blade Stock Frame Turbo that came a few weeks ago, I was planning to a direct comparison with the FP Black, but due to problems with a vendor on this forum in which I purchased the Black and other items it will never happen.

Sucks, now I might have to sell everything as I have had 3 bad experiences on this forum with paid vendors, and Extreme Tuners was not one of them. In fact they (ET) have went above and beyond with their customer service.

I don't think ET cares to share their information anymore on this forum, I haven't heard anything directly, but the change in vendor status speaks for itself.

Many vendors have they vendor status lapse for some reason. This may very well be no different.

I am glad that Joe is starting to receive some parts.

When companies are talking a lot and not showing much, questions are bound to be asked. When parts are shown as one companies work and appear to be another's work, direct brutal question will be asked.

I personally don't care if the other thread is ever reopened. There should be a new thread with a different less challenging title. Maybe something showcasing the parts he offers for the Evo in stead of making claims. Maybe an actual results thread...

Only got one thing to say...

"So long."

He posted cool pictures, but 3/4 of them weren't for EVOs and 1/3 of it wasn't their work anyway. The MMC rods for example were passed off as a part that could be used on an EVO...please, tell me how you are going to make a 1-piece rod work on an engine with a non-assembled crank...think motorcycles and lawn mowers if you don't know what I'm talkin about.

The stuff that was actually theirs and for an EVO, if you asked for any information he would just post more pictures of other stuff without answering any questions. I was very interested in their 5.25" clutch setup and a set of cams and asked him about pricing and never got any response at all on either email, pm or in the thread.

True, some of the things didn't appear to be for evo's, I don't have the technical knowledge to break some of it down, but they do make some items that are appealing as an extra option as to what is already out there, i.e the clutch and cams you are referring to.

I say contact someone like Buschur, he has the resources to do this test. We can trust his word, he's unbiased.

I'd do the test, bring a car capable of running the boost and HP levels the Black can make and we can push them both on the same day, same dyno. I won't even charge for it. If there's something better in a bolt on turbo than the Black, I'd buy it.

Someone take him up on this. I know most everyone knows the tests will be fair even if you don't want to admit it.


Nice to see a shop step forward
