Hey guys,

Out of respect for the others on the forum, I would like to keep anything "mazsport scammed me" and related out of the Pettit Forum. I understand things happened and people are upset, but I would greatly appreciate it if we could leave the content of this thread on you guys and your Pettit kits, out of respect for others.

Thanks alot guys.

Its funny that after I mentioned atleast 4 other turbo kits and explained how I ended up going with pettit when I visited FL - the only phrase you noticed was "mazsport scammed me".
By the way I am not upset, as I mentioned earlier - "it was blessing in disguise".

yeah Im not sure if Hymee is an actual vendor or not but if its a matter of permission he's got mine as sure as the other Pettit owners, since this is Phil's thread I would imagine it would be up to him to ok it with the mods

by the rules, it isnt your guys decision. since this thread is in Pettit's private forum, it's their decision.

its already been discussed about moving this thread into a public area to eliminate the deliberate deletion of other vendor's posts

yeah, i'm aware, and i(obviously) have my own issues with them - i think they are quite shady and for a very specific reason. but that rule doesnt stop anyone form doing the same in the open forum where all the Esmiril threads are...

but thats not what i mean

Put it this way guys, I dont see any Pettit owners going in other threads stirring chit. I now I havent. The same should apply to owners of turbo kits comming in here just to rustle things up. Shouldnt happen, if it does they must have issues im not getting into, its the job of the mods. If you have a turbo and post in here it should be pertaining to the SC kit or just general discusion. It also wouldnt hurt for for an owner to start another thread to show your mods and progress, it can be shown in here but it wouldnt hurt to have a section set aside for that alone to keep from having to go through the whole thread to get the info needed on the kit. If this works for you guys and gals, it works for me.

yeah but as sited, that thread is already being scrutinized because some think that they should be put up on a higher pedastal because they have to go through an aruduous proccess of fabbing thier own parts when our kit comes out of the box with minimal assembly. They think that somehow that makes them more important. Thus having a longer build thread where they have to photo document every liitle custom part or work-around they think that they should be segregated into another thread when your initial purpose was a place for all FI to be posted and to create shortcuts or contacts where NA people to go to learn more about FI options

wow, if thats how you took that, its no wonder you guys get so butt hurt whenever anyone says anything at all in here that doesnt include the words "perfect/sex/awesomeness/reliablestester"

all that was said over there between a few posts was: possibly divide it into categories like 1) genuine builds 2) kits instillations with a thread/feedback 3) kits installed via shop with no/less thread/feedback 4) ppl like me who are sitting on a pile of parts but have not "built/installed" yet

the more i look back on this whole constant mess, and then look at more current events, the more i think that although alot of it is simply **** - alot of it is a few of you guys needing to learn what constructive criticism is.

Congrats on your decision though. I'd bet a lot of the folks here would assume that i turn my nose at the SC, but even with some of the non ideal aspects of Pettit's FI system - i had my heart set on it for a few months.... the biggest reason i didnt end up staying the path was because i decided i wanted more area under the curve without having to rely on water/meth or anything else to do so.

FWIW i think that for a lot of people it is a good choice. Ease of install, equivalent to a top-mount in terms of bling factor, cost, decent bump in power. Basically i have nothing against it at all. It is what it is.
Been running my kit for 20k+ miles and well over a year. Still haven't installed water/meth kit.

Why so touchy? I was simply pointing out how you are wrong about the requirement for water/meth.

show me a Pettit SC making 350-360 wheel without needing water/meth or some other form of charge temp control....

to be even MORE accurate, show me one that was or could do that 1-1.5 years ago when i made the decision that i wanted those power levels

not touchy, and i wasnt wrong... I'm pretty sure than when it comes to expressing a personal opinion/preference i dont understand how you're going to tell me i'm wrong?
