to those that make statements like, send the vendor this thread, etc., you really need to think that through. if the dispute were to take a legal route all you would be doing is giving the otherside ammunition in which a good lawyer could point defamation/slander, and then the decision could be swinging the other way. just something to think about.

libel, actually. And the truth is an absolute defense against libel/slander.

defamation/libel/slander can not be asserted in the face of truth. These apply only when someone is pretty much outright lying about something/someone.

well we all know that forced performance turbocharges really suck. has anyone bought one from them and were actually happy? lol

Glad you posted this, I was going to get a FP Green but not anymore. Screw FP, when I go for my new turbo I'm going Blouch Dominator.

Man you guys are a real 'sky is falling' crowd. Better not read any STI lemon threads or you might have to sell your Subies!

I have a FP problem right now acually. Im blowing oil through my 2 month oil 20g. Every part of my intercooler piping i take apart has ALOT of oil in it

No Forced Performance for me! Thanks for letting us know Majin!

That sucks. I have watched an FP Green die immediately after installation and the engine had been primed correctly and FP said it died due to oil starvation. That car also had low oil pressure due to a clogged pickup tube and had a catastrophic failure right after nobody believed the oil starvation story from FP. Also I have lost two EGT probes and in both cases chunks were missing. So I dunno, the theories from Robert @ FP about why those turbos died sound feasible to me.
