thats when you learn to troll ala my AZ responses ;D
He’s had it out for me for quite some time.
It started around 2007 before I worked for APR. At the time I had contacted APR about getting a K04 kit built for the GTI using the OEM S3 components. They agreed and began development of the kit on my vehicle. Some time after APR took my car for development Stasis posted a photo of a k04 kit using the same OEM components. At the time I had tons of posts about building a K04 kit out of OEM components, with part numbers, and made threads for other enthusiasts. Since the stasis photo was the only photo I could find with all of the parts laid out, I wrote part numbers on the photo, and I corrected the color balance. Snow Trooper took it personally and insisted I was somehow attempting to undermine Stasis by putting the part numbers on the photo, when in reality I was just an enthusiast and was sharing how to build a kit. At the time IIRC stasis sold the kit with their warranty, had no support for a HPFP, only had support for 91 octane and may have required an OEM cat, so it really wasn’t anything anyone on the forums was after.
At any rate, Snow Trooper took it personally and has continued to hold that against me, even after I let him know I had no interest in undermining the non competing, and uninteresting Stasis solution. Stasis then threatened a law suit unless I remove the images from the internet, so I ended up posting a transparent PNG of all the part numbers so people could lay it over top of the stasis photo in photoshop. Then I called them out for lying about their turbo being modified by MAHLE (it was an OEM part and MAHLE did nothing, other than having a name tied to their old, defunct SCCA club racing efforts which used an older 1.8T in the B7 A4 rather than the new 2.0T, lol).
He’s never gotten over it and continues to talk about me all the time on WayOT and QT. Honestly, if I held a grudge against everyone who has done something to bother me, I’d have a pretty miserable life.
Wayot…Where creepy middle aged b5 s4 men go to share child porn and complain privately about all the tuning conpanies who are kicking the shit out of their friends
im assuming he has/had some kind of relationship with Stasis?
well ofcourse they will talk on Wayot, thats the only place other than QW that still thinks they are relevant in the scene.
he used to work at Stasis. Not sure how his employment ended.
Due to conflicts of interest he’s not at liberty to post on audirevolution lolololol
Hahahah I read that bs too…maybe the conflict is not sucking on the balls of amd and mr super tial…I dont know its sad…snow used to he a strong memeber and well respected…not so much anyore after his flip out on here and then teaming up to troll a apr thread go8ng on and on about something that isnt even working or for sale after jist one guy had it on h8s csr…
Quattrofail for the fail of the failures…its super funny when you have desperate@anothermanipulateddyno sheet posting more in a apr thread then apr…then we are told johnathan c is the guy for better information. … arin wasnt that guy an Intern at apr before you guys let him go…
He interned at APR in the early 2000’s. it was well before my time.
was that when apr was a non profit organization looking out for the enthusiasts rather than the money hungry evil empire it has become now? lol
based on what i saw on facebook, an update is imminent. coincedental timing with the revo b8.5 tune? i think not ;D
what was on FB?
ya i don’t see it either. link?
my safari at the office is having java issues and wont give me the img link but this picture was posted up http://s911.photobucket.com/user/richib86/media/165428_691195307334_347158434_n_zps1b1f0ebc.jpg.html
Here’s the pic. It’s going to just be a teaser, since the 4.2 FSI is ahead of the 3.0T in the timeline APR laid out. We haven’t seen much from Arin of late on the RS5. They had a picture of the kit on an RS5 a few months ago. Back when they did the conference I believe it was on the RS5 and R8.

yep exactly, but at that time it was not mounted up to any s4’s. seems like the s4 progress is where the rs5 progress was at the conference? makes waterfest seem like a realistic debut date
I heard waterfest 2015 for the 3.0? They’re going to do the RS5, then the R8, then the new RS4, then the old RS4, then the M3…then they’re going to look at the 3.0T
seems highly unlikely. it would make no sense for them to be as far along as fitting one to arins car with a release two years from now. that would just be silly and not fit with the rest of the stuff they r&d for platforms. i dont see them making anything new for the 3.0 two years from now, there focus will switch to whatever is most current at that time.
ill bet you two cases of coke that if its not this waterfest it will be at the dealer conference in feb
3 cases of coke Sak was just kidding.
The way this is going i’ll have a deposit on the next RS4 before a release on this thing.
i mean… its only been 2 months since the announcement of a 1740 even existing. hasnt been THAT long…
But it’s been 6 months since the announcement of an upgraded supercharger, and they even hinted before that of a Stage 3. I mean I am quite happy right now with my Stage 2, but I know i’ll be craving more power shortly.
