I can say that I have a Powerchip tune in my car (actually had two, one upgraded after I got the internal mods) and haven't had one issue either getting the ECU tuned or with the quality since I got it.

I can also say that I waited 3 months (when the original estimate was 4-6 weeks) for Evosport Shorty headers, throttle bodies and cooling package and remember how frustrating it was to keep getting ETAs that come and go and nothing get delivers (yet I was thrilled with the results of the mods on my E55 once I got the product). Also, Evosport got me my clear corners in the time frame promised.

The point of this...for future customers of Evosport and Powerchip that might read this post, I think it's important (or at least I would want to know) both the good and bad experiences people had with either/both companies so that they can make the most informed judgment as possible, because in the end, aside from getting the OP of any post like this his/her money back, these posts are basically like a quasi-yelp review. Just my two cents.

Everybody:

Generalhh has been suspended for 30 days for posting the contents of PM in the open forums. Trying to have a decent conversation with him fell on deaf ears and all he did was continue to tilt at windmills (yeah, you can look that one up). This is a standard infraction for something we take very seriously. He chose to break the private nature of PM and is thus being admonished openly.

That would be a good offer and a great move from Evosport to make things right. This is what a company should do when things turn sour between them and the customer. I think they'll stand by their word and issue you the refund and the pulley. As always, please keep us updated on both sites

MB_Forever

Who is running the company then? And who is doing the tuning?

MB_Forever

Wow, that's a bit extreme.... no warning or probation or please edit your post or remove/rephrase the PM content? he was only trying to help

propain

Who?? Tilt the what?

Isnt that a personal matter anyhow?

Nola

Yeah I knew you'd have fun with that...

Evosport/brad kema gets a free Pully what do I get? I was told only a discount, then when I asked for one on the line lock kit you said no.. Send me a pulley.. No instead charge a rediculus amount for shipping a 4lb object good call.., send me a pulley

MB_Forever

What's a ridiculous amount? And how long did you wait for your items?

dodger63

About 4 months or more, asked then to ship the line lock with my rotors. They forgot so was said, then sent line lock a few days later and charged about $80 shipping. I believe they refunded rpm not sure but still. They wouldn't discount line lock, they did say they would give me a discount on the titanium shims that I didnt want

ZephyrAMG

Tilt the windmills? Not sure about that one but I do know a certain "Tilted Kilt"

MB_Forever

You showed him

$80 to ship a line lock.... OUCH

c32AMG-DTM

He showed all of us. Always good to keep in mind, getting into it with a moderator is like the internet version of getting into it with a cop. No matter who's in the right, you will lose. Everytime.

Don't start the lynch mob already guys there are very few good vendors around to beat them to death or hurt their business. They have been doing a good job for a long time. I agree they dropped the ball, but they are obviously having cash flow issues which at this point the further bashing could possibly put them out of business which I am sure not everyone wants. He's getting a few pulley (I hope) and they got a little slap on the *** by the community. So I think justice has been done.

propain

... you know what... never mind.. Just send in your order then and post your own review.

This thread is a disaster, everyone needs to go get laid, have a drink, or take a deep breath. Heck of a lot of forum jockeys on here....it's an Internet message board. Relax.

Evosport you suck give the guy his refund already, your promises are empty, you have made yourself look like an *** and your best bet is to post up a huge sale asking whoever buys to detail their experience here to regain consumer confidence....or just wait a year for it to blow over. This is not an insult, just summarizing for clarity.

End this useless rubbernecking already. Bunch of teenage girls in here!!!

There aren't any good mods for my car or I would ha the only thing that would yield decent power are LTH which I would get from MBH if I did decide to get them. I almost bought the under-drive pulleys from them, but found out they don't yield any power. I am over this car anyways I don't plan to do anything else to it.

Was going to apologize for any perceived “condescending tone” noted in your original post (received via subscribed e-mail notification), only to find it had since been edited.
That was not specifically my intent, merely to share the facts as I know them with the other participants in this thread.
Should also be disclosed I’m a former MSRP Powerchip and evosport customer.

Best of luck with your business endeavors going forward.


To be fair, only one member has thus far earned sanctions in this potentially prickly 100+ post thread. Sharing a private communication (his PM in this specific instance) without the consent of the other party is strictly prohibited per MBW’s TOU/TOS, and ought be known by all. Some may have noticed or appreciate that Staff of late generally strives toward a laissez-faire style in matters such as these, but rules are rules.
Any member who intentionally chooses to skirt their spirit must be prepared to suffer the consequences.

I’ve been party to private (PM, e-mail and phone/text) communications with several here over the years, yet have never once betrayed their confidence.
That’s not too much to expect between gentlemen.

This will help Rory.. thanks for getting us all fixed up in here.


Isnt your lease up?

c32AMG-DTM

Agree with your points, splinter. I didn't see the PM, but whether inflammatory or not, publicly quoting from a PM is obviously against the rules. My post was attempting to inject a little levity with the cop analogy... obviously a dud; ah well... win some, lose some.

rory breaker

Hahahahaha...not interested in your internet drama, girlfriend. Run off and play now...

OP - best of luck getting your $. Hope to see an update posted as Im sure many folks, including myself, will not be checking this thread.

propain

You are all about the drama little guy. You come in and tell people to stop being teenage girls and then spout off just like everyone else pretty much calling yourself a teenage girl.

Enjoy your lease while the rest of us have to worry about stuff like this. MB says thanks for the 7K and cant wait for your next deposit on your rental.

PetroC63

So, has Kema received a refund yet?

It shouldn't take that long for a wire transfer.

ZephyrAMG

LOL....killing me.

Propain, I would give anything to just roll around your town with you for a week and slap back a few brewskies with you at a waterhole you frequent...
