A-Team turbo on board

The longer you have it Matuva the more you'll be impressed. The louder exhaust takes awhile to get used to, maybe it seems louder because of less turbo whistle. When anything changes I start to worry. I must suffer from parranoia . Leo
 
what a bunch of bullshit you guys. post where you want i guess but this "takin my ball and goin home" is not the attitude that I grew to truly respect about many of you. i am a little disappointed in this affair all around


You are entitled to post where you want and I am not telling or suggesting anyone not to post there, or belong to their site. I can not in good conscience subscribe to a double standard, my business is here and that is because of the people here, nothing more.

No hard feelings just business:thumbsup:.

Agreed 100%

I'm even sitting out on this one as i have a "conflict of interest." Anything thats going on over there is not my doing. Just wanted to make that known. I'm sure i'm going to get blamed for it anyways, but i figured i'd try to explain to you guys anyways.
 
"So if you guys hit the other site and talk about your A-Team Turbo and someone asks: tell them they are only available from DTR, and to PM me, cause that is the way it is going to be."

Just make sure you do it in a PM or the post will be deleted like mine.

Before this gets out of hand, no one is at fault, the rules are the rules at this site and the other. If they felt I crossed the line then so be it, I live by their decision. No body is pointing fingers at anyone shit happens and it will pass in time. Just a family issue, so lets not make more of it than it is. Please

Dave, we (or at least I) don't blame you, it is the powers over head, mostly the new admins I would think. it is like working at a corporation, you can only do what you are told and hope the shit doesn't hit the fan too bad.
 
Just looked at your pics again Matuva, don't you wash your hands? That tube between the turbo and intake is supposed to be red.:D

I have been helping over there all along, even after I resigned as mod; and no, I didn't blame Dave for this, as he has been doing a good job, IMO.

I am VERY disappointed in the way this has been handled over there. It isn't a matter of takin my ball and going home, it's a matter of having the door shut in my face.

This could have been handled much differently, and would not have ended at this juncture. I was fine when the admin closed the thread, but when Matuva's discussion was locked, that was too much like abuse of power.

Nobody was selling anything in that thread... it was a tech discussion with pics of a fresh install. If there is any 'bullshit' to call, mamerzook, that would be it.
 
it is this kind of thing that hurts the most. the brass may be a buncha dicks over there, but if you are surfin there, why not help me out?

For what it's worth, I will help you out anywhere, anytime. I will help out a lot of my other friends over there, too. But it will be in PM.

Curtis doesn't want me talking tech over there, I will oblige.
 
I agree jim, like i said it sucks all around. especially for the new guy with his first 6.5 that won't benifit from the likes of you and the knowledge I was privvy too
 
Everyone, breathe, deeply..

Mamezrook and everyone, leave the place at the place and DTR here. Slim can do whatever he wishes. He is a vendor here and is WELCOME to sell his turbo and give his advice here ANY day.

I will say that there are reasons some of us don't ever go back there. It sucks, yes, but we have a GREAT home thanks to Nick and Drew and all the mods and admins. Enjoy it!

Hey what is going on right now is kind of like having a wife and a girlfriend at the same time and they both don't care what you do and are ok with each other as long as they don't have to be in the same room. You have the best of both worlds, you get help here and you get help there, you belong to both and nobody cares if you do. Who looses?
 
Everyone, breathe, deeply..

Thanks. I needed that :D

Aye. Time back in!
 
Precisely!! Until Kevin (knkreb) told me it could be insulting, I used to have a signature that said:

"Arguing with someone on the internet was like competing in the special olympics. You may win, but in the end you are still mentally handicapped"

Crude, but you get the idea...
 
WOW, I for one had not really realized how hostile things were, i did notice that things seem to be a little more laid back around here though.

But anyway....
Matuva, just out of curiosity, what kind of battery is that I see in your truck? I have never seen one quite like it.

Those are drycell VARTA, let's say a kind of Optima red, free of maintenance. I told you I'm lazy :D

ROFL, yes, it is supposed to be red, and the black paint I used was supposed to grab on it---
