Well, since our advances on my civic are going forward faster than any other turbo kit for our cars, i guess you should start peddling foreward.

ok you guys should knock it off and get back on topic.

this is great way to gain business now isn't it? .................................................. maybe you 2 should compare and contrast each others Turbo Kits. Not a fight but just compare and contrast. This will help us fellow 7gen's out with our decision on which kit to buy. I believe all 3 companies should compare and contrast to let us 7gens know whats the real deal.

of course your kit works hahaha i've been in it and seen it its freakin awesome as you know how many times i post about how much i want it. just saying you 2 should compare and contrast to give us all the information against the kits so everyone can make their decision. it would be really helpful if you guys did. it lets us the buyers see the pro's and con's of the kits and in result letting us make our final decision.

O.k. I didn't want to jump in here but, I'm going to. It should be pretty simple guys, vendors post their deals in the group buy section and us the customers ask our million and one questions in there perspective threads. Vendors or any of us shouldn't answer vendor questions. IMO that is just asking for trouble. Remember guys we have a hard enough time getting vendors to build us stuff, the last thing we want is to scare them away. In closing if someone has to rely on what they heard on a forum and not from there own research they don't need to be buying these products especially when they are being bought from this website.

Zinky I'm glad you have chosen to buy this turbo kit. It will be nice to hear from you once it is installed and of course dyno #'s are great. Three turbo kits, three results I think everyone can choose on their own from there.

O.k. I sure someone will flame, go ahead I really don't care.

no offense cat, but how much are you getting paid for marketing??? just curious cuz your putting alot of hours in at sfpower....i think its great that sfpower has chosen to work with 7th gen civics and give us a way to make some power.....however....every turbo manufacturer deserves a shot at pleasing us. Of course, a vendor will talk nothing but good about his own kit, thats plain business economics. I would, however, like to have all the information presented from all three vendors without having to read a lengthy debate. In an "SFpower" thread...i expect to hear about sfpower....and a "maxrev" thread should have maxrev info. I dont really remember maxrev trashing a sfpower thread. I mean no offense....i just think if the sf kits speak for themselves.....then let them.

no, i am not getting paid. I wasnt trashing anything. I just made sure everyone out there knew the straight facts about the 3 things mentioned. I never said anything about the Max Rev kit being worse. I know it isnt a bad kit. By looking at the parts, i can tell that it will make power. There is no doubt about it, but i just dont want anyone putting up statements that are not completely true.

I know that Mex Rev has done their homework, as he said before. But there were some things that needed to be cleared up, and i needed to make sure that they were, or else it would cause an endless mountain on PM's for me to answer about something that wasnt completely true.

I still dont have anything against their kit, so quit thinking i do. I tried to write my explanations as un-biased as possible.

I just want everyone to be on the same level. Which is why i answer all of these questions for free.

Catalyst- Do you know when to stop? You are making yourself look bad and not representing SF very well. Please pull all of your posts out of this thread to include the now link to "proof" as you so call it.

Also,
I would like to thank Mike Stafford at SF for calling us at Max-Rev to try to make sure there are no hard feelings after Catalysts unprofessional behavior. Mike seems like a stand up guy. Thanks Mike.

It will be a little while. I have to make some more money for dyno time after it is installed. The kit should be arrving next week, and most likely my car will go to the shop next week as well. I will keep you updated as soon as the kit is installed.

Well I just recieved my Max-Rev kit today. I am in the middle of unpacking it as I type. The kit looks very good especially the turbo. The turbo is a garret t3/t4 hybrid with the .60 AR. The kit is unpolished, but still looks great. I will post pics later tonight.
