Copy Cats strike again!!! There will be innovators, and then there will be people that wait for innovation and do their best to imitate.
We have been inundated with messages and emails about these "gt40 covers" showing up on ebay (along with lots of our other products). We wanted to put out a post to save the industry some time.
NO they are not a dealer of ours. These products are imitations with unknown quality, specs, clearances, and wheels. It is a sad truth but a lot of companies, especially turbo companies, know NOTHING about turbo performance. They sit back and let others do the r&d to come out with great products and then they just buy something they know works and get it copied... they often don't know the exact specs that need to followed, but as long as it looks close they have done their job right and can sell cheap crap to whomever thinks it looks good from a picture.
It is sad/funny that we have seen a few videos of guys talking about how they came up with the idea... ya you saw KC Turbos success and decided instead of coming out with something to compete or even better the market, you would just dilute the market with a similar cheap knock off.
Many people might not know this, but KC Turbos is a very small family owned business with big ideas. These imitators really hurt our business and make it hard for us to justify spending time/money innovating when others just come along and take the market share by offering a cheaper imitation. Many of these imitators were once dealers of ours... usually just long enough to buy a few products at a discount and send them off to be copied.
Support those who support you and don't take chances with imitators.
