Ouch - that doesn't sound good. And yet, Artisan produced the twin-turbo ISF kit, so I'm not sure what to think.

Some guy with the Artisan kit is selling it on Ebay, apparently. But that's differnt from the Fox Marketing ISF (w/ twin turbo), which got plenty of exposure.

Best of luck bro! I hope that what's from the past is past and that everything is better now.

I heard the IS-F on ebay is being sold b/c the guy didn't have funds or something.

I've been to the shop in person to get my friend's car dyno'd. Everyone at Turbocharger.com seems like decent folks. However, I called Kenny once asking him if he's still looking for a R&D IS350...he does sound some what rude.

he's so gonna bend over for this. He'll probably make more money parting out the kit and sell the car stock.

That's usually not a good sign, when you're rude to someone, simply because they are asking about a request, that "they" put out.

L A M E!

One thing I have noticed in the tuner community, there are plenty of tuners, but there are few "good" tuners, and usually word gets around fast of who is good and not so good.

If some tuners would just admit to their mistakes and move on, it would be great, but in the end, most of them just act shady like nothing went wrong. Its a difficult industry already, lets not make it harder.

I'm sure, dude was just pissed about all the negative feedback he's been getting. But, still there is no explanation?

^^I've talked to Kenny personally. I actually talk to him alot before i gave him my car. I have even left messages for him and he has always returned them. He has never been "rude" to me. If i thought he was "rude" i wouldnt trust him with my car.

I dont know though. I hate to really defend anyone I honestly dont know. Im just stating my personal encounters with him.

Who knows, in life, some people will like ya, many people will hate ya... Just the way the world works.
