So, this donation is to ship the car to Vishnu to get it tuned?
Then, how is the car going to be sent back to Kansas? More donation? No family members or solider friends offering for help? Spent last $4k on modifying the car, now crying no money...wtf is this? You are the one losing your mind not your wife. Let go the car man. Accept it as you cant even afford to buy gas at this point. Grow up and look after your wife and family first. Start fucking modding all you want on the car you love again once you are ready. Anyways, donation and advice has been made. Good luck, |

Still a shame that HPF had to get the wrong end of the horse from this guy, and that insurance wouldnt pay them. I wonder why they are only insured for such a little amount.

We don't expect to replace anything that doesn't need to be replaced. We aren't trying to make a company flagship. Just going to do what needs to be done to get him back on the road and working properly. Hopefully this only means tuning it. Won't know until we see it.

People who run anything but your tune or hardware and have interacted with him don't like him. There are legitimate reasons for it too. However, I'm not turning this into a debate or anything more than what I've just said so I'm just leaving it at that.
Ohh, and he's not the only one to donate a relatively large sum. |

I've known Prem for some time and he is a solid guy. I've also seen how the internet works and seen how ready people jump into camps, make convenient generalizations and justify being a douchebag to others. There is no reason to be negative in this thread. Goodnight.

It got to the point where, the main reason I kept going, was because I devoted so much time. I really do want this over... but right now I’m not in a position to make it happen. |

It's your money. Spend it how you want to.
I've got a bunch of stock hardware if you decide to go that route (15 miles from FFTEC), but I'd prefer to see that beast running. You are so close man. Good luck.

Again, I didn’t spend my last 4,000 on my car. It was in the HPF Pay Pal account, yes, for small modifications, and or unsuspected issues that I may have to pay for. But I cannot recover that money right now and I don’t have any other cash set aside at the moment to make that all happen in the time frame I have to work with. Your advice is very good. But the cost of waiting till I’m ready will be higher at this point. 1. I can’t leave my car there. And second, I would have to buy another car just for transportation. As for the car itself, I only Own a 50,000 car because I bought it after my first deployment and I "thought I had money". I was actually trying to sell my car just before HPF contacted me. I thought maybe I’d have them put the kit on and it would make it easier to sell or by then I’d have more money (I was leaving for my second deployment) and id be able to keep it. After about 6 months of owning the car I knew I should have never bought it. But I owed too much and I could not get rid of it. I have known that I was way over my head for about a at least a year now... but when do I pull out? I was only in this project because HPF was paying for everything and would support me is I had issues with the kit. I’ve made some bad decisions, but to be honest… Once I got into the project, I wanted to see it through and bring forth the first single turbo for the BMW community. But we all know that didn’t happen. I’m not asking for help… . |

Yeah man for sure, If Shiv can’t figure it out... I should only need a set of stock Turbos and maybe some other small things. Ill most likely sell the car the first chance i get.

For every one who has helped me out, I thank you very much!
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 couldn't agree more. With that said, you have guys like wedge and Marv who are in opposite camps and some how have managed to remain "good guys" with the community as a whole and have done nothing but support and help the community whenever possible. At some point maybe the problem isn't everyone else and a small(or large) adjustment may become necessary for the individual in order to let other people see the "good guy" that you and wedge say he his. I'm honestly not trying to bring negativity into this at all I'm just saying that... Well, I'm not entirely sure what I'm try to say.
