His n54 kit is kind of shitty. After you put a proper turbo on it and pay someone to reweld the downpipe so it fits, and replace the crap china wastegates, you might as well have bought a name brand kit and you would have saved time and money.

Why as a business owner you would do something stupid to alienate half the country(and customers) is beyond me. But not everyone with a business is smart.

News to me that this shitty kit is still around. Thought for sure it would have been put out of business by the recent cast bottom mounts.

On facebook they rave about how great the on3 kit is in multiple n54 groups. Especially Docvue or whatever his name is the dentist turned tuner. I have since unsubscribed from all of the n54/e9x groups. Having a discussion with people on facebook is like punching yourself in the face.

The forums get much less quantity of people but the quality is 100x better.

As much as I would like more people on the forums for discussion, the instagram/facebook fuk bois can have that area all to themselves. They literally are just parrots who repeat what someone else said with zero cognitive thought going behind their posts.

Bad publicity is better than no publicity and there is always going to be fruit loops out there.

Best thing is not to post or repost these type of articles as you possibly sent multiple customers his way.

Yeah I agree with marty on this because there's alot of non lgbtq supporters that are not gonna care about that at all and as soon as they hear he offers a 2500 kit they'll say why not i never knew n54 kits where that cheap.

Good. Fools should be parted with their money.

Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Pick two.

But you still sending customers his way by validating his idiotic stunt he pulled and keeping him in business by mentioning he owns it.

You just gave him free advertising, most wouldn't have known he was the owner until you mentioned it.

There's no bad publicity when you had none in the first place.
