I can't believe they closed that one...so now people don't have a right to bash on anyone if they have a shitty experience...gay.

I gotta say I think this is a pretty stupid thing HKS did-- hurts themselves, a vendor, and customers.

Beyond the shady dealings, it's just a stupid business decision. They've sacrificed orders & revenue, forced committed, paying customers to a competitor (FP), not to mention the longer term effects of a tarnished reputation. Kinda sucks since I was really intrigued by that turbo.

I'd say that they don't allow bashing sponsors but truth is that I've seen them close threads that bashed non-sponsors too. They only allow those threads to go if they seem to be leading to solving a problem.

HKS is not a sponsor, and it was a personal review this time around. It was closed because Ivey complained stating it would hurt his sales...

I really don't think it would hurt his sales...that turbo sucks anyway...FP/CBRD stuff is way better for cheaper.

Chris tell your customers FP all the way :)

It's been showing pretty good power numbers with spool almost identical to a stock IX, if not exactly identical. And it's ball bearing which has numerous benefits.

They have since posted up multiple stock evo 9 turbo dyno charts with as much power or more though...lol. And essentially the same spool.

For the price i would never ever do that turbo.

I agree BB has its benefits, but I would still rather give money to FP for a good product.

Haven't seen those and I don't wanna bicker or take this thread way off-topic, but were the setups apples-to-apples? Not, for example, comparing a stock IX turbo + E85 to the HKS turbo on pump?
