Default Maybe, maybe not. At the end of the day, I'm doing sub-3 sec FATS and I'm happy.

For now, I'm touching wood.

Yes, I would re-buy the same kit in a heart beat. I'm a satisfied client.

I am glad they are working. But with more power, less reliability is usually close behind.

Default We did have the faulty part early in the year that caused some hybrid failures.....

that has since been identified and resolved. I was open and public with that problem not trying to hid anything. Since then our hybrids have been doing wonderfully. We still have been having one or two warranties over the past couple months come in, but all of those were the last few of the hybrids that still had the fault part in them.

it was sarcasm. 8-) Saying reliability was fixed 5 months ago, is hard to back up.

What was the failure rate? 1 in 50? 1 in 10? So there have been 0 failures since the change?

Indeed, we will not argue about this. It's a calculated risk some are willing to take.

Default If you want to be like Mike, do NOT pass up on clearancing your hybrids.

I would be suprised if the tuners who doubt the effectiveness of hybrids have worked with turbos that have effective hot side mods like Mike2ks4's.
