If you want to talk about posts from other forums: He charged me ~$150 for the bracket, materials and other stuff. I didn't mind paying him for his time because I knew the end result would possibly advance things for the entire community. This was me paying money to get help for the community...that's it. Fortunately for us he was willing to spend a LOT of time testing and retesting parts and pieces to make this work. Considering this was worked on over WEEKS I don't think he made a lot of money on helping me. He's offering it to anyone else that wants to try it for half of what I paid and is throwing in the lines, tee, clamps and anything else needed. NO ONE is offering this to anyone else at this price. If he's trying to sell this stuff for a profit as you claim I'm not seeing how he's making any money. I could turn this around and put you and your products under the microscope and talk about how much it actually cost you to produce your products and what you are selling it for but I don't because I really could care less. Some people want to be able to brag to their friends that they have this part from this company and they paid this much for it...that's cool with me because its their money. I don't follow that path. I like to build stuff and wrench on my own car and for those out there like me, this offering is something to consider and possibly build on. Now can we stick to the topic? |
Please review your own posts, I believe you will then understand why we have responded.

The topic is Tec your setup is half the cost or even less to include the hobbs switch and has no venturi which will equate to awesome flow and you can keep your first born.....lol Tec |
Very nice work! This platform has come a long way since I got into it a few years ago, and it's people like you who push the envelope and push vendors to keep prices in check. There will always be those who would rather spend the money than mess with fabrication, but it's great having this option for those that can fabricate! I'm interested in this setup for my new single project. Can you elaborate on the hydramats?

TEC thank you for the guide! I am currently building the same setup and I'll reach out to 07tundra for the bracket + lines. It is absolutely insane the prices that fuel-it charges. I find it hilarious how they throw around phrases such as "tuned venturi", "engineered" and act like installing an off the shelf fuel pump into a bucket is some sort of engineering feat that comes with "inherit risks" if done yourself, as Steve puts is...:clap:

Like I said before, some people want that name brand item to add to their list of car mods...I get that. I just want the performance and to know it works. I'd be pissed to find out that I overpaid for something that I could do myself. |
Kervio, Steve seems to be a good guy he started this back in 2013-2014 I think with good intentions but when he saw what he could charge because some folks don't bother to do a little research the BMW tax got to him which is a shame. Same goes for Vinshu the maker of the proceed some claim it to be better than the jb but Terry made it affordable to all and great customer service, the way it should be. This bull**** that this is a BMW is exactly that the basics are the same why should there be a mark up just because? I will continue to work on my own stuff and if I can help folks out I will. Just two individuals said I cldnt fit 305s in the back......I'll stop that's a different thread lol

Thank you for visiting our website. We aren't hiding anything and if look at the ethanol sensor, we give you the part number (unlike most companies) so if you want to source it elsewhere, you can certainly do so. Unfortunately we can't sell items for the same price we purchase them for or we'd go bankrupt in short order.
As we said...DIY will always be less expensive. |
DIY will also help those out in the future who wish to put their purses down and get their hands dirty.. Absolutely nothing at all wrong with someone tackling a project themselves IMO.. As long as it's done right, rock on..!

Love this design. I can't afford to buy a stage 3 or stage 4 so I will attempt a DIY. What kind of a hobbs switch is needed?
Sorry I'm in England. Otherwise I'd buy from you guys. |
Anyone?

Hobbs

Please fix pics! Would be super helpful with my DIY Stage 3 as well.
@TEC |
Here's a tip: don't use photobucket. Use imgur.com or the integrated upload feature in the forum.

@TEC donīt forget us !!!!!
