I seriously hope you aren't taking those links seriously. 100% scams.
You are getting a negative reaction because we get this question ALL THE TIME. And we type out answers. The answers get really really repetative, so we decide to save the trouble and put them in a thread all in 1 place, and then we make that thread a sticky so people can find it easier.
And then people like you come in and ignore the sticky thread that we put together, and it quickly becomes REALLY irritating.
Start here: https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/new-potential-owners-start-here-202454/
Information relevant to your question is in the first 3 posts.
And this is a post from one guy on why you get the reaction you do:

This involves several issues. The first being that you can't see beyond your own immediate needs and wants. This is not Wiki8Club. It took many of us years and years of involvement and reading to amass the knowledge.
Imagine somebody coming here daily, in fact it is often multiple people daily, asking if not demanding the same information over and over again. We are not your on demand servants. We are people just like you with other priorities and demands in our lives, limited time, our own personal interests for being here, etc. Why should we spend that time catering to people that come here seeking instant gratification?
That leaves us with two options. We can either ignore you completely or we can tell that the info is here if you bother to make the effort. However, over several years of telling people this you eventually get fed up dealing with the continuous stream of people seeking instant gratification yet you still would rather point them in the right direction so you just bark at them to get the point across. Imagine someone coming to your house, going to your living room, pulling their pants down, and taking a dump right there on the carpet just because they didn't know any better. You might be annoyed and yet also understanding because they didn't know any better. Now imagine this being a different person doing this every day. It wouldn't be long before you just as soon they go away and never come back.
Almost every day there is some clueless dolt posting a tech or troubleshooting question in the DiY area, despite there being a sticky thread at the top saying to only post threads there with DIY instructions and subsequent discussion of same. The real issue is that people think they are free to just come here and do as they damn well please and there's no need for etiquette, rules, structure, or organization unless it serves their own personal interest.
Well guess what? We're not here to cater to new uninformed people that come in here trampling all over everything regardless if they're ignorant, just don't care, or whatever. This is like any social community and so if you make waves you better expect to deal with it. If you don't like it then get the f' out because the established community could care less about some newbie whining about not getting what they want immediately. We do care about you clogging up the search engine with useless threads on already established subjects, which there is a dedicated thread on this very subject in this same forum area no less. It took me 10 minutes to explain this. Now imagine multiple people daily requiring it, so you make a Sticky thread at the top that says "read this first" and yet every single new person just like yourself thinks they are beyond trying to fit in properly so that this forum operates smoothly for all of us.
You probably don't read Japanese, but the line in my sig is a well known Japanese proverb that reads "the nail that sticks out gets hammered". You made yourself that nail.

This has been discussed probably every day or every other day since the forum has been here. Get a turbo if you want anything significant.
I think 9k meant "cheap, fast, reliable - you can only have two".

I'm just going to point out that jumping on a forum (ANY forum) without bothering to do some research on the collective knowledge to see if they already answered your question WILL generate the same reaction.
Every. Single. Time.
So this isn't forum specific, you just happen to be getting the education from this one. Some new members already received it elsewhere.
