Look at the vendors in the vendors section above. Very good guys. I have worked with several of them, and service has been outstanding. Except for Vivid, had some bad experiences with them.

Actually, get the turbontor. You'll get mad performance for real cheap and then show us some pics with your install. They can be found on ebay, really good deal too!

In the future if you go to the top of the forums home page you can see all the reputable vendors, if you scroll down you can se the market place and the good guys bad guys, always check there first, you can save yourself some grief. Also on top there is a search button, most of the questions you will ask already have answers posted, before you make a new post try a search first.

What is wrong with you guys, was that really necessary.

These are two guys you can trust. Make sure you budget for the Interceptor.

Once upon a time when I was a noob, I would do a search on anything I wanted to know before I start a thread. Even if search result return more than 20 hits, I would read them one by one patiently because I think its simple common courtesy. Now if all the noobs would bother to read the FAQ when they register and do a search before posting, everyone would live happily ever after.

I agree, I lurked for at least 3 months before I even registered, but I would like to think that we are not a Honda forum. Would it be to difficult to direct the people with out the wiseass remarks, common guys seriously.

Stick around for a while, sooner or later you will get worked up when you keep seeing similar threads and the wiseass remarks will come from many including myself.

"Use the damn search" is the most polite way I can put it, sorry. By the way his question is one of the top 10 most commonly asked question.

Yeah lurking and trying to find a thread that is worth the time. But really we are really harsh on newbies. We could atleast be nicer about it. He knows what he wants, all he was asking was whare was a good place to buy the stuff. All that turbonator crap had nothing to do with his question. Yall need to lighten up. He asked a legit question and some people feel it is necessary to give retarded answers. Im not saying baby the guy but give the guy a break!

I just don’t see a need for the harassment. It’s rude and turns away people that eventually would be of help to someone else. Like I said yes its a common question, but not everyone is at the same level when starting. I catch on quick some people never get it. Bottom line there is no positive outcome just childish satisfaction. I simply think its very sad for it to happen here.

I don’t know **** about turbos, this is my first Turbo car, this is my first real car at that. That’s not what I’m saying, my point is that it takes the same amount of effort to help someone than it does to ridicule them for ridicule sake, nothing more, I’m not attacking anyone, not my stile, me if I cant help you I wont hurt you. Research is a good thing but honestly, for every good post there are 100 (exaggeration maybe) shitty ones that do nothing but confuse and misdirect.

Yep its right below the one that reads do to others as you would have others do for you. Or something like that. All I’m saying is I understand everyone’s position in this. Do you understand my point tough? And by the way I’m not some kind of hippie make love not war guy (just don’t wana give that impression ) I just think the forum would benefit more from a different approach. After all. Isn’t that the purpose?
