For those of you who are hating, you have no idea what I have gone through over the last almost 4 years now with this project. In the end, It was for all of us. I thought I would bring forth the first single turbo for everyone... But that went horribly wrong and I have been looking for a way out and an end to this for a long time. Anyway, I know I’m not needed anymore; there are a bunch of other products out now for everyone.

I’m just trying to end this. If Shiv gets my car up and running, I’ll sell my car to anyone with a good offer. As someone stated yesterday, I need to stop the bleeding. And many of you are right; I don’t have money, so i should not be in this situation... I agree. But I was not planning on THIS happening right NOW.

Thanks for the support everyone...
I have OEM charge pipe, DVs, DPs, intake, IC and a couple other bits lying around that I've been trying to sell for a long time now. They're apparently not going anywhere lol so if you need anything for CHEAP(or free depending on part) please let me know.

Wow hpf really screwed you here, not sure how they just took the four thousand out of the paypal account in the first place. You should have kept your money till it was needed. Having said that, I know how it feels to just wait for your car and that was only 6 months. I have injectors, hpfp and a few other things from my blown motor let me know if I can help get it back to you quicker.

Good luck dude.

Meanwhile on e90post most of us kids reading this thread feel bad for the guy and do have time to collect money to help a fellow member and serviceman who works to protect our country. So, yes. Amurica!

Spending money on Jb4 G5//CM-FX400//FBO//Meth// so one can run 12.06@118, instead of helping kids in Africa (or some 3rd world country) eat, is any better?

People spend their money how they see fit.

Yeah, and most of my mods were on a big discount, sponsored and all installed for very cheap. So I paid nowhere near what you think.

That's great. I'm just following your flawed logic:

You implied those who have sent OP money have their priorities skewed. All without knowing anyone's charitable contributions. Not sure why your contributions become more valid here... Hup, hup, sell all your non-essential stuff and donate that money, let's make sure children everywhere have a meal tonight.

I didn't say you mentioned, I said you implied. I think you need to reread the post of yours I originally quoted. No mention of it being OPs fault, but insinuation on how the money sent to him could have been better spent.

Anyways, as I said before, people spend their money how they see fit.

It's real easy to play the could've/should've game but we all know hindsight is 20/20.

I would love to continue the political argument but shall refrain.

Hpf335, sending some funds tonight. Good luck and I hope you find resolve soon.

I love seeing how so many of us have made the contributions we have an how civil, for the most part, we've been. Imagine what this community could get done on this platform if we all chipped in a small amount towards development of big power(by someone who would profile the build and keep transparent financial records of it so we knew exactly where our money went).

And then it should lower the sale price of those items because r&d costs didn't exist for said company

Sell your Infiniti and buy a Ford Focus and you could save lots of people from dying!

But! It is the way communities work. I'd rather have a community than a bunch of businesses, but that's just me.
