What happened to EPL K16/16G thread?

I would think the turbo owners would be interested in a 600HP K16/16G total package that sells for 3,500. EPL didn't start the thread or post in it. If other tuners can't compete isn't that their problem. I guess that's why a 996 SC from EVOMS is 10K. No competition. But at least in the turbo world prices are coming down due to competition.

That's probably because EPL is not a board sponsor....

EPL is not a sponsor yet, which I feel Tony needs to do because of his bad *** products! Hopefully he signs up and is able to post his new stuff he is working on!

yep. I remember all the Protomotive threads getting yanked or edited before they were a sponsor.

i would understand if EPL posted it but it was just a fellow user sharing some knowledge and telling us about a new product and alternative, an everyday user with no agenda

I don't believe every manufacturer of every add-on that is mentioned in any thread, i.e. heads, pistons, body kits, wheels, tires, stereo equipment, suspension parts, etc. is a board sponsor. But if you can't compete against a new package or product or can't match the new products price without the "sky high Porsche premium" that a few tuners have been charging for the last few years, you wouldn't want mention of it either.

600HP for in a total package for 3,450 is a awesome price. After seeing Matte Seal Greys dyno chart, it's also a great product.

Yep, rude action by the administrators towards the forum members. Has happened many times before.

This forum is a business and the administrators appreciate much more income than their members.

Good example is the various car manufacturers, are they sponsors in this forum? I don't think so, yet they have their own forums here!

(Point: Where you can draw the line with who is sponsor and who is not?)

NO not every manufacturer you mentioned is a sponsor but neither are they actively seeking business soliciting... that is unfortunately the difference. just because I mention BBS wheels does not constitute a deleted comment. However, if you had a BBS employee promoting new product line then I believe the same thing would happen as it did to EPL. Simple mentions of the product line without starting threads with the name of the business in the heading would not cause this red flag....
It happened many times to my tuner until he became a sponsor...

Actually in this case it appeared to be Tony himself= EPL.

I'm no hater but I have seen this happen so I was not surprised.

All it takes is a few complaints from the other sponsors...
