Does anyone know jpworks

... but because of the fact that he "had" the only bottom mount twin scroll on the market.
The money didn't really bug me, i just can't go top mount because of strict country restrictions including visual
inspections. ... but now i'm stuck with the only option; Create my own kit.

Bottom mount kits are starting to show up. As a friend told me once, the beautiful part about the N54 platform is that it evolves and improves. You have choices coming this year - it is the year of the bottom-mount single.

I was looking at twin turbo upgrades for this spring but given the single activities going on, am holding off to see where it goes. Great platform ...

I really hope so too because my turbos are on the last leg, I can't wait till one gets release at a reasonable price,If i don't see a kit by may I'll have to get upgrade twins.

I'm pretty much done waiting. Steedspeed has been talked about since 2014.
Motiv, i'm not paying 10K+ (8K for the kit + shipping to europe + 21% import tax) for a single scroll log kit just because it's so nicely CNC'd and welded.

When i email Jeff at Steedspeed he said about April may the N54 kit should be available. I really prefer there kit it makes the engine bay looks stock. But we will see if it really gets release.

I've been told estimated pricing for some of this stuff coming up. For people who don't mind a journal bearing turbo, it really solves the price gap between twins and singles. Basically, even people trying to be cheap will be able to afford a quality single kit.

Yeah I'm super upset about it as I could have built it my self I just wanted it fast so guess I learned my lesson does Anyone know his last name

 

[fmorelli]

I suspect VTT's upcoming (Q1 I believe) cast manifold single down will be affordable.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is one of many examples that people will read bad reviews and ignore them because they are trying to save a buck:

I have to delete this stuff regularly so when I said this:
​

This screen shot above answers my question, I am and was in disbelief that someone could actually make that type of decision without doing research and finding bad stuff. Which proves they are simply taking a shot at getting ripped off to save a penny, and this makes my question entirely valid because that is a fundamental decision making problem, regardless of what color his Vendor banner is on this forum. They are taking a chance knowing good and well they have reason to be worried. This is why there is a lack of sympathy.

Just as this situation seems obvious to you, as does the situation of being wary and doing research before letting "Jpworks" represent your forum by allowing him to have a vendor status.

Like you said, not to beat a dead horse..... I think we've both said all there really is to say on the subject.

I disagree those are anywhere near equal faults. One situation was resolve almost immediately given evidence and the other is not resolved and they hand over thousands of dollars over and over despite evidence. If I continued to allow him to be here and have more and more chances, then that would be an equal problem to be dumbfounded about.

There are plenty of people who sell on Facebook, Craigslist, eBay, Amazon and virtually every classified. None of those companies investigate the seller. None. They expect sellers and buyers to be moral and smart. When they have evidence that is not the case, they are expected to take action as that is the case here. If it was the companies goal to provide ultimate protection, they would simply disable those selling features of Facebook, craigslist and amazon would disallow 3rd party sellers, because they know that is simply not enforceable. This means, they expect people to be smart about things as do I, and they know they are leaving the door open to potential fraud. Not because the companies are negligent or wreckless. They do it because you have to trust people to use their brains, as having a one on one consultation with every person is not a scalable or sustainable business model. Particularly not because a few people want to save a few bucks. You can speak about his past but virtually everything I know about him is from this site, my prior knowledge of his behavior off of this site is largely irrelevant and non-existent. Much like how the electrical company does not care if you are watching porn on your computer, powered by their electricity. There is only certain information that applies to me and as the administrator of this site and not any other site, I concern myself primarily with the things members do here.
