I think if anything you should not be throwing stones at stillen or anyone else since it seems you are the one living in the glass house. I may be newer to this forum but for you to try to unload your crap on someone on here knowing it may be defective is deceitful and if it was up to me I would ban you from this site.

I am aware of the problems with this kit there all tune related issues so its I do not know. I have followed this kit for a while and out of everybody I have seen with the kit there only seems to be a plenty of people with issue.Most people cant even hit the advertised number that are still up on the site 438WHP 343tq.

I had a 7 year old 03 350z that made 415 whp 345 tq 3.12 pulley with the same blower that the stillen kit is using. That beats 90 percent of the people out there with this kit.

check this out before you start getting a iffy here. this kit is proven to work on a full custom tune. during our pm's didn't i mention that to you and i'm only selling this as a tuner kit? did i not tell you that i was having tuning issues and i'm not able to get it to work on my car. so how am i being dishonest here?

I do not remember of you having tuning issues but only wanting to change to a TT setup. Maybe you posted that later in thread but originally everything was good to go. As long as a person is up front and honest I do not have a problem. All I know is if I had the money and had purchased the kit at that time and once getting it found it to have a problem I would have been very upset. So If you had PM me that info I do not remember it. That info should have been posted in your original FS thread IMHO.

You could have written an equally long and detailed thread about how much they tried to help you. You texted, PM'ed, e-mailed and called Josh almost every day and exchanged information openly the entire time. I don't know how you can call that shady....whatever, what goes around comes around.

If you wouldn't have gone through all the hassle Eric had to go, I'm pretty sure your opinion would be different. I was there since day one and I witness all this stillen "deal". Remember this is a company's kit and not some garage fabricated kit. If they are proven that they suck at providing a balanced tune, maybe they should change their approach. I don't how many are on my350z but as an example, search for the BP rear mount turbo. This started as a garage fabricated kit, now it is open to the public. Regardless the hardware,.the fabricator provides tuning ready solutions. This is the same approach as stillen works. However, stillen don't care about putting their shiat together. If they do fix a one issue, they open whole new can of warms.

great Frank! thanks for clearing this up!

yes, Stillen did asked me to send in the kit for inspection and would convert whatever is needed. there will be additional charges that nobody is willing to pay and the parts needed isn't a big deal at all.

about my some potential buyers calling them, can you confirm and ask if Stillen tried to pursuede them to buy a new kit rather than mines?

i got my word out, anger relieved and ready to move on. i know this thread is very childish in some ways to some people but i am done. my kit is sold! i'm just hoping that Stillen will supply whatever parts or support my buyer will need and not give him a hassle for not buying their new kit's in stock.

That will be the true test for Stillen. If they really back up their products like they say they do, then there shouldn't be any problems getting new parts.......

I don't understand why this topic had to blow up so much? Weiboy stated his opinions of a S/C kit that he paid for and drove daily. I think he has the right to be unsatisfied with it if it is not running up to par because that is a lot of money to throw away for a modification that I think most people would expect more of. I know I'd be upset if it was happening to me. Again, Wei ordered the CARB kit which was in theory supposed to pass CARB inspection...

Some questions for Stillen:

1. What's going on with the status of the CARB certificate?
2. Is Weiboys S/C issues one of a kind? What I mean by this; is there no one out there running the CARB kit that is having these problems as described by Wei?
3. Is it just too soon to tell? How many CARB kits have really been sold and installed so far to current date?
4. Are any other customers having any issues at all with their CARB, or did R8 tune fix everything for everyone else?
5. Have all other CARB kits out there reached the advertised HP/TQ gains?
6. Anyone else experiencing "Detonation"?

Not taking sides here but I am definitely curious about some of those questions I just posed. So far the only person I've heard about being unsatisfied with his kit is Weiboy, and I have not really seen many people on myG37 who have reviewed or running a Stillen kit besides Whiddles and Weiboy. I'm new here to the370z so I will continue reading through threads here to see how many 370 customer so far have been satisfied with their Stillen kit and what they have to say about it in their reviews.

[Nismo370]

Ahhh Stillen and their crappy tunes smh...lol...Wei I don't blame u for venting as if I were in ur shoes I would too. That is a lot of money for a mod...Instead of rushing, Stillen should of worked out all the bugs and made sure the tune was 100%...Advertising numbers for a carb kit and not making them is false advertisment and that is noo good. Your tunes are complete junk...I mean seriously like 8tunes to get try and get it right lol u should take some notes from GTM...

[GraphiteG37S]

I can't see what Mr. Squeeze's car is capable of once he runs his custom tune... I think the Stillen tunes are killin' it!

regardless of how much I know or don't know, you still conveniently left out a lot of pieces to the puzzle and that's what is wrong with the picture. People dont "already acknowledge" how good they were to you anymore than they already acknowledge how upset you are about this whole thing.

When I see a thread bashing a vendor, I take note at how it was written. If it's obvious it was written in anger, I automatically know I'm only getting part of the story. I'm also leery of stories that have third party information, i.e. "they told my friend this."

The threads I put a little stock into are the ones that are written in a concise and factual way.

I'm not a stillen nutswinger (Anyone who knows me knows that I hate all vendors equally), but anti-vendor threads are a mob scene. "Burn the witch!"

I'm not sure what I think of stillen not responding however. You can take it one of two ways. Either they are at fault and don't want to embarrass themselves ... or because of their lack of fault, they see no reason to get in the weeds about it. I'd rather see a professional response than ignoring it though.

Google "mob behavior." Anytime someone bashes a vendor people just jump on board and start going for the throat. It's crazy. Anyone with some sense gets called a fanboy for wondering why everyone's losing it. You will NEVER hear the whole story from a single party. There's a difference between posting a review and expressing dissatisfaction and bashing. Learn the difference.

[ITOzann]

LMAO on some opinions right here.

[DarkZide]

I appreciate threads like this and i thank weiboy for posting it.

Why? Because I don't want to deal with a shady company if i decide to purchase a kind of product they make.

I know now that if i ever get around to buying a supercharger kit that it will be GTM.
