Know alot about slowboy. and they get alot of bad reviews.
apparently, I've yet to see one person post up saying that they've had a decent experience with them
yeah on the way down to NY the car was smoking slightly ... then the motor blew, put the new motor in, took it to the track & the smoke came back again ... eventually it got worse & worse and then to the point where the turbo was blown
what I find really sketchy is the fact that Kinetic/Slowboy says the "oil was contaminated" yet they can't tell me what it was contaminated with ... hell, Jeff at slowboy didn't even know what "oil contamination" meant and for the past week I've been waiting for an explanation for this
I was also considering a slowboy crash bar but after hearing this, fuck that.
Hope you get your turbo soon man, I'd like to see that thing trapping 125+
I promise 125 traps on street tires as soon as I get the turbo back ... the 122 mph runs were on a shitty tune w/o wot shifting on a blown turbo ... 125 shouldn't be too hard with a wot box, better tune, meth injection & a new, un-blown turbo
I was hoping to go up on Friday & possibly Saturday but that's out of the question now
Well, if I had my doubts about SBR before I definitely know I won't be buying from them now. Sorry to hear about the luck man.
Come to think about it, I think my S60 turbo is a kinetic . Good thing I purchased through PTP. He pretty much warrenty's everything. Only reason I feel comfortable with the purchase.
Damn, i was recently looking for a turbo and a clutch and he sent me a email with a decent offer but after seeing all this im VERY glad i didnt end up buying through him. Glad to say i have a agp 50 trim that should be here in a day or 2. How is this place still a vendor here? dont the mods take care of this shit at all?

sadly enough, the mods/admin don't do anything against vendors like this ... they state that there's too much work involved for them to fight the vendor, blah blah blah, but revoking their vendorship from the site seems like an easy solution to me
as long as slowboy pays their vendor fees, they'll still be around .... just like FBM, kustomatix, glacial graphics, etc.
