I really wish you never told him about your status in our community. I'd like to have seen how they would treat normal joe.

All I can say is WOW, If FP is going to hose a elite moderator of IWSTI where dose that put me in the scheme of things? Seriously, even if I was a **** and screwed everyone I met, and even IF this was TOTALY Majin's fault, I would have gladly reimbursed the cost of the turbos, instalation, towing, car rental and prostitute visits just to keep him happy and singing my praises to the 29000+ IWSTI members, not to mention all the EVO heads that will get cross posted on this.

Nice work Robert, FP = Fail

what i like about this is that it was so well documented and written up.

Sorry Majin.


Clark Turner has posted a few times on NASIOC about how often greens fail. Are you gonna post this on NASIOC?

That's not the point. The point of all of this is that, no matter what kind of product you sell, your business is judged on whether or not you stand behind it. Be honest. Out of the 30k members on this site, how many are REALLY upgrading their turbos? And how much of that market does FP REALLY have? Majin's responsibilities here are beside the point. When it comes down to brass tacks, he's an enthusiast just like the rest of us.

This is about fairness. Any jackass can come online and pitch a fit about something - we see it constantly. The difference here is that we have a well-documented case of customer disservice.

And it's probably a good thing for the community that this DID happen to Majin. As you say, imagine if you're some Joe off the street? Majin just happens to have a voice. I'm glad he chose to use it, and do so with such complete documentation.

Wow Maj, and here I was recommending an FP Green to my buddy. Can you say whoops? Anyway, I feel badly for you and the troubles that you endured but I am glad that it happened to you as it most likely would not have become such a large issue had it happened to a member. I thought that Robert was going to chime in and try to use this as a launchpad for dispelling turbo failure issues and such? Donde esta Roberto??


P.S.
Let us know how that Blouch holds up. At least if it fails, they will stand behind their product like what happened to Muff.

Sorry to hear about this. That's complete bull****! I got a bad alignment the other day and I thought I had it bad.... If I were you I don't think I would've composed myself as well as you did.

Jason, wow, when I saw this was I like, your kidding me?! Then I looked to my right side and saw the scroll bar and was like SOMETHING VERY BAD HAPPENED. After reading everything to date, I gotta say, I am sorry to hear what happened. I can't believe that it was handled like that. If you really take your time to read those e-mails again, you can cleary see FP starting the e-mails with a "Hey, sorry but your turbo took a dump and its not our fault and heres why, blah blah blah *4-5 paragraphs later* sorry but we can't do anything but fix one. WTF?! And to also send back the dumped FP20g is a kick to the nads. Atleast your happy with the new turbo. I also noticed he was "going" to attempt to pay for the cost of the FPGreen, then it went to a "Hey we will fix your FPGreen and send you the rest of the dump, whats your address?".

This is why I deal with Jerry at Deadbolt Enterprises, great customer service BEFORE I got the SZ55, and lifetime TRANSFERABLE warranties! Good luck with your car Jason. I only have their FP SS Oil Feed line, think that will fail.

Oh yah, sorry but I have to.... @ FailBoat Performance (You know this name is going to stick....do I see a demotivational poster in the future?). Take care buddy, we got to hang out sometime!
