dude, the islands would NEVER fall exactly the same like that if it just happened to be X% better. They just fucking lied and stole the BW map. Simple.
MEC…well done. That’s an amazing post. + karma and all around I have to say, you’re a pretty solid member in the B7 A4 forum. Hopefully the vendors and retards on the forums don’t shoot you down.
ARe you going to post this on audizine ? You should PM the fat manatee fuck named MEOW who posts on the AZ B5 section. He works at BorgWarner sweeping the floors. I’m sure he’d love to hand in a scalp for a scammer. Basically FT has put out a RFP to the Chinese copycat manufacturers on the internet, and sent them a BWk04 to copy. SO they reckon ‘we can just use their map’. THen they probably claim to have made some change, and thus the call to action for someone shelling out $1000 is that they’re a bit cheaper AND are 5% better. It’s pretty fucking sad.
I love Audizine, its been my forum for over 3 years now, but a lot of the people over there don’t necessarily care about validity or truth so long as it saves them $5 and “seems legit”. I didn’t get the reaction I was hoping for on AZ. Most people actually defended Doug. I mean he blatantly lies to customers faces, sells them a WAYYY overpriced turbo, and people eat that shit up. I mean it got a few members thinking, but overall, it didn’t have a significant impact. Doug never came back to say anything either, I mean what can you say, he obviously isn’t about to admit to it, and he can’t really say the f23 has perfectly scaled k04 flow. So he just never came back.
That was on of the times when I really questioned AZ, maybe I’m just really strongly opinionated against vendors lying about a half assed product, but I was really surprised that people still defended him.
Your an AR guy, that is what most of us are about. The best thing you can do is exactly what you did. You’ll face idiots, but you’ll inform some that can think for themselves. Eventually those guys will begin questioning people too. It’s hard on AZ to keep vendors honest though because they control posts with their money.
Get other good A4 guys over here and build that section on truth and technical knowledge.
Haha, that B8 beta tester just doesn’t get it…the other day I was attempting to clear-up his dyno BS. Overlaying a practically stock APR car on their dyno vs his heavily modded FT car using an inertia dyno was low. I’m curious to see if he can get close to my 1/4 time with his “more powerful” turbo. Since he apparently makes more HP/TRQ than my K04, has the weight advantage of a sedan/manual vs Avant/auto, it should be a walk. We will see. I suspect they will be bitching about the tune issues for months.
Of course they will bitch about it! It’s a b5 s4 company. That’s what b5 s4 guys do, they buy cheap products that aren’t proven and then make 100 excuses as to why they are making a million horsepower on a dyno and yet can’t even run a decent track time.
avant = 100-150 lbs right? That’s similar to 10wph or 1 tenth of a second on these cars at this level
auto vs manual = probably 2-3% drivetrain loss…so another 10whp or so, and 1 mph.
Overall he should be 12.65 @ 108 vs. you in similar DA at a NHRA certified track if he’s a decent driver (not a superstar…just competent). Guess we will have to see. Not holding my breath.
