i would assume any sponsor of this site would be a good place to deal with.

i've presonally done business with ricky back when he was at wired speed lab. he got me a killer price on my precision sc34. this was about a year ago, before prices got all crazy.

DEFINATELY drag kits suck for the money. buy the peakboost if you are looking to buy a complete kit

Ricky is a great guy Come back here Ricky I like picking things up by hand! haha

I rarely if ever say this, but that was probably the dumbest comment. Yes Drag isn't the best kit for the money, but to say you'll piece something nicer for <U>half</U> the the cost? hahahaha Riiiight, show me a properly pieced together kit for $1,250...simply put, that just isn't going to happen However, I'd agree with you I would put your money toward a better quality kit.

There are plenty of days I say to myself why do I go thru so much headache every day processing orders, making sales etc etc and PAYING UNCLE SAM..

When I see threads like this in which people all post up and say great things about AF-Performance and myself personally it feels really good.

To all whom gave a vouche, we appreciate that..

Ken Peak = the man , sent you a po btw.


Ive spoke to honda1313, he wants to turbo an accord, there isn't to much for turbo kits in his area. Not to mention not much for the way of custom.

Brian,

I was actually out there with Marian (fiance) last weekend for about 4 days. We looked at a couple houses and all. I REALLY would like to go back, I hate philadelphia. Everything is overpriced and well, alot of negative things happen here. I had it nice out there.

Its a possiblity I will go back, depends on her job... Thats the only thing holding us back from Ohio and Arizona..

Wasn't for her, I am almost 110% sure I would be in Arizona with AF-Performance or another organization

check my sig homie. my kit WITH TUNING was less than $1000 out of pocket.

oh, and u want something cheap for an accord? a DSM turbo manifold bolts up if u widen a couple of the holes, then u can bolt a 20g ($400) right to it and spend maybe $300 on an intercooler and piping. then 75 on oil lines and call it 50 for downpipe tubing. $50 on a set of DSM 450s and 175 for a chipped ECU with a basemap. then $150-200 for a street tune. thats right around $1100 not including the DSM manifold ($10-$50) and random hoses, vac lines and clamps, couplers ect. so, call it $1500 for a GOOD turbo kit that will outperforms a drag kit and uses PROPER fuel management (which u need to spend more money on if u buy a drag kit anyway). so ill admit, you'll have to spend a LITTLE more than half.

did i prove my point yet??

Well I'm Going to Be talking to you shortly Ricky..
Waiting on my pay checks to show up..
And Yes I don't like the hassels..
I'm Not lazy and I sure don't like burning money, but I would rather buy a Complete bolt on Kit. Than to go through the Headache of putting one together..
also this is for an Automatic 4dr accord Ex.. so your 1500 kit just wont work.. Can't tune an automatic ECU. Unless I wire in a P06 of something like it.. big hassel

Thanks for all the comments.

In conclusion Af-Performance is a very well respected company and can't wait to be boosting.,.
