Prefix has been pulled. To me, it sounds like he is just taking paypal's money or the banks money. One of the two. He is just incurring big debts with paypal somehow using random banks and then never paying and moving on to another bank and another paypal account. He probably has hundreds of paypal accounts with unresolved disputes. This is what I'm guessing. There is some way he's avoiding chexsystems or is using a type of bank or payment system which does not require it. It may be helpful if people published the paypal address they paid the money to.

im betting paypal has his account lokced up because when i was filing a claim it skipped the part where you message the seller, it said something like the seller cant be messaged currently, then it asked me to select a option during when i was describing what was going on it asked if i had any evidence of fraud, that could be a generic question though, ive never seriously had to file a claim like this...

his accounts on both paypal, and ebay are suspended. You're all welcome. He currently has people popping up from Facebook (shockingly all from so-cal) defending him about how hes such a "great guy" lol. Seems like people local to him get there kits almost next day... All of my info was submitted to the FBI, so i hope this guy gets his.

That’s probably because we can pop on his house whenever, that’s the only reason I order from him. It’s rediculous he can’t keep his business straight.

Nice work. Like I said before, he chooses wisely whom will receive their kits. People like omar endorsed this guy (pretty greasy if you ask me) because he got his kit in 3 days, I'm guessing he got a "deal" on it as well. Having people local to him get their kits makes sense figuring he doesn't want them showing up at his doorstep, harder to ignore that than it is to ignore text messages and emails.

typical scam stuff tbh. The "local" and "big" people who get there kits make each person who gets screwed look less credible. Keeps the really angry people states away etc... and yeah its super fishy how "some" people got stuff no problem, almost like Kashif knew they had exposure and it would further discredit the people speaking up against him. He wouldn't even talk to me until i agreed to "silence the haters" for him....

my experience with Anthony@ACF is not any better.

- very communicative when I put down the deposit
- asked me to forward him the rest when he said the kit is almost done (which I stupidly did)
- near zero communication afterward, emails and texts would go unanswered for days. granted, there was the CA wild fire going on at the same time too, so I was being patient.
- lied to me about dropping off the kit to UPS even though the tracking number wasn't scanned until two business days later

Honestly, I was willing to led all of that go since I did get the kit after all. But the fitment for the downpipe and the recirculated wastegates were completely off and my shop have to remake all of them. Manifold was wrapped by 1/4" at v-band from the thermal coating, which they should have caught before shipping out. Asked for a refund for just the downpipe, and not even the rest of stuff that didn't fit, was basically told "sorry too bad, I have expense to cover too"... Hate go through the paypal dispute process, but it looks like that probably what I have to do.

I tried convincing you to go with Doc Race... lol.

John is one of the only ST vendors that stands behind their work and pumps out quality kits.

Yeah man, hard to make a decision with all the different opinions on the forums, especially with the "advocates" on these forums.

I can vouch for Jon Vigil and his VIE kit. He was and is super good at maintaining communication with before, during, and after delivery of the kit. The kit delivery took longer than expected because Garrett had their turbos back ordered, but the kit was fab'd up on the time frame he originally gave me. Even during install, he responded to my questions quickly and was of help. Great guy. Great craftsmanship.

Problem with people is they take their mod decisions personally. Say whatever part / kit they bought isn't good, and they act like you are attacking them personally. 335i mods Facebook group is notorious for this, to the point where any negativity/vendor callouts are actively stifled.

People are also too hasty to slap a bazillion hashtags / tag the shit out of all the vendors they bought parts from for no good reason. Without a second thought about how exposure/advertising should be earned not given away freely, otherwise you encourage bad vendor behavior like JPworks, YouWish, and EMP.

The only reason MMP is in my signature is because I feel that he has earned it.

This is the one thing about the CNC and cast manifolds. A lot less labor involved.

I wish someone makes a twin scroll cast/CNC manifold.

I still dont understand why Motiv didn't make theirs in TS. Looks like they just have to extend the divider down to the Tial flange. I am sure they have their reasons though. My guess is the limited turbine housing selection with the Xona turbos.

If Steedspeed / CES would make this manifold for the N54, that would be ideal. This is a bottom mount twin scroll CNC M5x manifold but the spacing seems right for a top mount if you flip it upside down and add the N54 head flange, O2 sensor bungs, maybe make the T4 flange stick up (down?) a bit more and at an angle, etc.

Except I foresee a problem with the downpipe clearing the manifold. Would be a bit tight, but all top mount installations are.
I feel like I'm having deja vu. I swear I've had this conversation before, short runner top mount kit.
