With a Flex-Fuel tune, yes, a sensor makes more sense, but on a "fixed" E30/E50/ tune, you need to know what you have at the pump to be able to mix to the proper ratio for your tune to provide the most power without damage to engine components.

DTK is not backed by a business. You are sending $7,999 to an individual in The country of Georgia, I will not speak to the quality of their products as if you search you can find plenty of issues in the Facebook groups. Chances are you will not be getting turbos that used factory rebuild kits, and who knows what wheels you are getting.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO DTK AS FRIENDS AND FAMILY/GIFT OVER PAYPAL

I encourage everyone to do their research, We have a saying here that DTK customers are our best customers after they wait 3-4 months to receive their parts and have to do a PayPal claim or DTK refuses to honor their warranty.

These are really awesome numbers, and he does post Dragy results, But one guy building a Frankenstein in his garage willing to cut corners and install products that "do the job" is not the same as producing products that meet consumer standards.

Just a thought.

Good advice to anyone buying anything from a 3rd party, no matter the vendor...

From our new website alone we will be shipping our 5,427th order, to our 1,231th customer. We supply over 175 shops with parts. The first 5,000 orders were processed, packed, and shipped by 1 person. And none of this includes the website we had for the first 3 years... we have had MAYBE 20 parts failures ever. Spend less time on Eric Mills Facebook page, it will melt your brain

We are about to release the biggest M157 Turbos to hit the market. Wheels manufactured in the USA, built with all Garret Parts.

Very impressive details indeed. I am one of your customers. Love reading a business success story. I am very curious about the new M157 turbochargers. Hope you can provide additional info. Also, how is your plan affected by Garrett filing for Chapter 11? Perhaps, another thread.
