You heard right. Zilvia will only be 2nd to last to hear about this (FA was in the dark about my dislike for them).
NICO has kicked Boost Designs as a sponsor. KA-T.org kicked Boost Designs as a sponsor.
His poor grammar/typing skills, same lame excuses, passing the blame, and taking 6 weeks to ship a Cometic headgasket while saying "the site says it'll be a 3 week delay". What a clown. Then, this product switch (NICO link) has exterminated their credibility in my eyes.

Maybe the elitists over there will give you your status back. As far as BD goes yeah they had it coming since startup.

Looks good? When I buy an equal-length tubular turbo manifold, I want exactly that. I don't want a RevHard tubular knockoff. For $450.. I'd rather just buy the cast RevHard itself.

He did it to himself. That was the only biz I know of that existed based on the customer is always wrong. He made himself look like a jackass everytime he replyied to someone getting pissed because it has taken 6 months to get something.

damn....what merger are they talking about in the first thread? Sucks to see this happen...but it was bound to happen with such customer service.
Forums that censor people for that type of stuff fucking suck, period. Not to pick on NICO but I thought the admins there would have learned their lesson after they let that jagoff from Night 7 Racing trample over people. I also remember when one of their own mods scammed people and the admins there let that shit drag on as well.
NICO. :nono:

its shiny and the welds look alright on the OUTSIDE. i'm no expert on turbo manifolds and have never professed to ben so all i can take note of is the welding and general aesthetic design (which i did). the welds aren't fuggin da vinci esque but they aren't bad as far as the pics show.

Arguementative. Right? That is an arguementative comment right there. And I'm sure that alot of what I've said to BD and Rick were taken into consideration before banning me.
Again, I don't care about this.. it was a fact that nearly every thread on KA-T.org with a gripe about BD was locked/deleted until the end. And told to be taken to PM. Well.. if one guy has a legit issue everyone should see it, so more people don't get that stupid-looking UFO manifold, or deal with that asshole. Just different styles I guess. But that wasn't a gripe about me being banned.. just more fuel on top of the anti-BD bonfire.

so as far as im concerned, none of your business.
Jeff240sx
06-02-2005, 11:35 PM
My banning is not due to Boost Designs, or my comments to them. My banning is due to my attitude, which is poor at best. KA-T.org does not need to be brought up in this post, and subsequently pasted on 2 other forums. Apparently asking how local companies (Tampa shops) will get out of this mess isn't my business. Even though it's a customer-driven internet business.
Blindly bashing NICO over their action/inaction/moderation/posters/users/posts/threads/forum is unnecessary, and the offending post has been edited.
As you can see.. I've caught alot of flak today.

Why are you continuing arguing about something publicly and calling Jeff out and then telling people to stay out of it. Take your own advice and take it to pm's. Shit.
because I (co-owner of KA-T.org) have been mentioned in this thread which I feel has been mentioned thoughtlessly in reaction to other issues.
Boost Designs was removed from issues that are beyond Jeff's understanding or assumptions.
I hate when people post, and then you quote it and they've already deleted or edited their post when you click submit. lol

Co-own yourself back to KA-T.org. I never claimed to list or even have understanding of why BD was removed. I simply stated they were. But.. you seem to not pay attention to these things.. "facts," if you will. Another Fact you may wish to skip over is the fact your name was never mentioned in here. You took it upon yourself to thrust your name into this thread to state (again) why I was banned. If only I'd have gotten an email or warning from KA-T.org. And.. signing off AIM mid-conversation was a nice touch.

Full name? The one which resides at the bottom of every website you've built. That top-secret name? Website business dealings? The fact that you built the site (again, your full name is on it).. combined with pricing knowledge I've gained from building sites myself.. revealed your business dealings. Ok. The quote was "XAT just paid [name omitted] a (sizeable?) sum of money to update their site and highlight the fact..." Sorry I deleted that. However, your objection at that quote is sad, and only our friendship made me delete it. Now that's apparently gone, so is my patience with apologizing for stupid shit.
Sorry I made a guess at the fact you redid their site with flash and it cost them a decent ammount of money. Sorry I listed your full name. Maybe I shouldn't link that .pdf of your resume you have linked on your business site.
However, that quote was listed to get one guy (XAT nutswinger) off my back. Which resulted in one closeminded KA-T.org co-owner on my back. Over nothing, in reality. Yet I apologized and deleted it.. and you regressed to 12 years old.

From the exterior, it doesn't look half bad (but im no welding-god) so it'd look buy-able. once i saw that Superior welding inside, it made my balls shrivel.
But an offtopic question, would that kind of welding (in those pictures) really make a noticeable difference in performance? I'm just tryin to learn.

regarding the BD mani and DP that they shipped out, WTF is with the wastegate routing? It looks like it would divert exhaust gas coming out of the turbine discharge back into the exhaust...which is where it would go anyways. how the hell do you control boost by managing exhaust gas after it passes through the turbo?
SR240DET
06-03-2005, 09:24 AM
if you look at the old style mani... waste gate flange is before the turbo on the mani... this new manifold looks like trash... so if your asking about the new one.. i have no clue....

quick question. if everything you do is on the up and up why would it matter if jeff puts your full name and website dealings on a billboard in central park? i don't like shady bullcrap and from what i've observed thus far you don't seem to be too honest when it comes to personal dealings.
the fact that your forum's banning of him could be t he direct result of more people wasting money on inferior products only indicates that you lack the backbone needed to be a useful member of society.
Jeff240sx
06-03-2005, 10:12 AM
The new manifold is made to have a "weldless" inside. HA! And designed to flow the exhaust gas directly into the turbine blades. Now, if this were the correct way to go about it, Full Race wouldn't have a giant pulse collector. Nor would PK, or Peak Boost, or any other manifold manufacturer.
The manifold, which is STILL listed as equal length on their site, has been changed to something that looks like a tubular style RevHard manifold.
The wastegate routing seems to be cosmetic. If the turbo wasn't internally gated, that piping wouldn't work I don't think. See.. to get to the wastegate, the exhaust would have already needed to go through the turbine blades to exit the snail. That negates the effect a WG would have.
Finally, the welds are nice. Never complained about them, even on my manifold. Weldless interior? Ha. There *will* be vibration in there. And that *will* disrupt flow. As does cramming individual pulses together, then direct into the turbine blades. That thing flows like crap in theory. And if he has flow numbers.. he needed to post them, and not a BS 21.7% better statement.

Those people's money should be on your conscience.
...and after seeing that "Weldless" inside I am considering grinding all the welds of the inside of my manifold so as to promote better flow.

After being told that things aren't my business (although what products a company carries are the business of the customer), I've been vindicated by Scott (Enthalpy). Going directly against what Klattr has been saying. See.. busy people, like Scott, have better things to do than read every post on every forum, and alot of what gets said is never found out. The TampaRacing post, the one which Klattr had the issue with, and was a catalyst in him powertripping and removing my moderator status on phatka-t forums, was how Enthalpy found out about the lies Boost Designs was spreading and smearing Enthalpy's name. So, something good came out of that clusterfuck.
