heh... with an AP tune from Jeff I should be able to get another 50 hp out of it... that puts me pretty close to his 394 claim and I haven't even bought his turbo... yet :D :D :D

hmm...

I haven't paid yet and now I'm thinking about bailing.

Check out the similarities between his picture and the one from rx7store...

I dropped him a message asking to cancel my bid because I'm not paying and if he doesn't I'll report it to eBay. I'm glad there was activity in the rx7store midpipe thread or I would've completely missed it.

I haven't had the best of luck on ebay lately. Figure the worst I'll get out of this is a bad feedback rating, and I can live with that.

If he becomes difficult I'll offer him the following: Send me a picture of the midpipe with the text 'midpipe for Shell 9/08' on a piece of paper next to it. If the quality of the pipe is comporable to the one he hijacked then I'll complete the transaction.

The seller is making extreme false claims about multiple products he is selling, I wouldn't buy anything from him.

Oh, c'mon, give the guy a break.

He forgot to mention the WHP was scored with twin GT35r turbos and race gas.

poor guy. I think I may have scared him.

He let me out of the deal with no issue/question whatsoever. Provided a picture of his pipe, can't tell for sure if its the actual pipe (no message for me in the picture) but it is at least the same model/brand as the one from the rx7 site. Although its blued considerably more.

He left me positive feedback too.

It's a shame there were so many inconsistencies. It may have actually been a reasonable deal.

I got a reply back to my initial question

He said he got that horsepower with the Int-X and it's amazingness, apparently he thinks it's a box of magic. (I summarized)

I wrote back and told him to take a look at the compressor map for the turbo that is included in the GReddy kit and it's mathematically impossible to make that much power to the rear wheels with a Renesis at that boost level.

I haven't gotten a response back to that.

Is he a real owner? How does he know stuff like mazsport , int-x and stuff. Other then the very false info i would say he is an idiot owner or lurks around the forums for his scams =/. My turbo beats your turbo.
