Alright first thank all you guys defending me and my madness!

Now I want to know who this 'tard is...
He posted about me and my supercharger on rennlist:
http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/showthread.php?t=208763

and on Pelican:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=225939

For those of you who dont know what about here is the post from the performance area:
http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=15547


I want to know what gives some guy the right to come on here snoop around and post all kinds of questions about stuff and he doesnt have a clue. Maybe its cause the first time he emailed me I ignored him. The second time I sent him some links to articles so he could learn something and he posts all over the other boards.. maybe I need to delete my supercharger post...

The guy doesnt know me from adam and just goes off and posts stuff and asks others all about it, especially on the list... yea just what I want bunch of flamers talking about how it cant be done, or isnt practical or go buy a 951. I surprised to that it hasnt happened on the list.. but on pelican looks like its a joke all these stupid pics....

Anyone know this guy?

I certainly wouldn't worry about that particular big-mouthed disbeliever..I hope he does what he says and puts a cork in it. He obviously doesn't share your skill. Good luck with your project.

I dont see the point of his posts all over the place, either. Why post elsewhere instead of just asking you on the forums? Maybe he was trying to get some people to say you're wrong or something.

I am not worried. Its just irritating, he could have posted here. Maybe I just made him feel stupid or something in my email. I dont know.

He certainly considers me less than friendly.

I should just go off and build stuff quietly... less attention. I mean yea I posted onhere to share with you guys.. but I didnt want to be all over the place.

That post on rennlist was actually how I found out about this place. It also brought me to your SC thread, which I read through and found very informative. A lot of close-minded people on rennlist believe that forced-induction is not possible on the 944NA. It was a shock to a lot of people. I think you have done an excellent job on that project. I also don't think that he meant anything demeaning by it. From his posts, it seems he wants to get the word out, and see what people's takes on it are.

I know I am new here, I just wanted to thow my opinion out. Cheers!

..just ignore it

I don't think he's doing this to annoy you - he's obviously interested, but just a bit naive & doesn't realise what those sort of posts will do. I think that he's got very limited knowledge, like many of us (well me anyway ), so not enough to make a useful contribution to the issue.

I'm always amazed at how much time & effort you spend on your posts/email replies, & the amount of free advice you're giving.

I did like this bit though........

"the guy has to be some kind of mad scientist... or I think they call him a Boostologist or something like that."

Boostologist - maybe you can use that?

can't see what you can complain about except perhaps your email reply to the guy that he posted on rennlist (a bit harsh).

Nice to know they all lurk over here looking to pick up ideas.

Now, whatever happened to that "Innovation is dead at 924.org" topic?

LOL,.. I had your back man. I was wondering why he didn't post here either. But then again traffic is always good for a website.

Well what he didn’t post was his emails to me. Three emails. He hides and asks all kinds of stuff, background, location, why didn’t I post pics, what kind of dyno. How come this, why not that..

It was like two pages long in the first email then the second was almost as long and he wanted to know other stuff, like am I afraid to share the information with him. Wanted to know if I was going to sell the instructions on how to build your own and how does it work... what’s the difference...

I mean I know my posts can be long, but a laundry list of questions. It would not so bad, if he even had a clue. It looked like he sat down and made a list of questions then emailed them to me.

He didn’t ask for help, now you guys know I don’t mind commenting and sharing, helping, but common on this guy came off like some kind of Internal Affairs guy or auditor. I don’t have to justify jack to that guy.

He could have just asked how does it work and why did you build it? I would have shared. I mean seriously, the body of an entire email just questions... like I am just going to sit down and answer each one from someone who doesn’t even belong to this list.

I am still trying to figure out how he got my email address unless he belongs here under a different name or maybe I posted it someplace and he got it. Or someone I gave it to, shared it.

I appreciate the support... keep in mind the concept behind bring more power to these cars has been for us to enjoy them more, not get rich or something and from that perspective, the idea of using a 944, well its the same engine as the 924S, so you would have the 924 covered.

This guy emailed me a third time and wanted to know if it would work on non-porsche cars, what about the 928 and the 968 and the stroker motors and the 3.0 and blah blah blah.... like I am tech support or the sales department at paxton or something... I mean seriously.... his third email started off...

[tedwright]

ESC, that crap would kind of make me nervous as well. I didn't realize he was emailing you with those questions. After reading that, it kind of changes the way his posts sound. I was thinking he was just another enthusiast looking for more power, and figured you could get enough information out of you just to do it himself. However, if that was the case, why would he want to know if it could be setup to work on other cars? (Naming 928,968, etc.)

Well I don't know what to make of the guy... maybe he just wants to put it on other cars? Or is following my comment about it working with smaller displacement engines… I did say it would work up to a 5.0, but better for 4.0 and below.

It’s just weird… on one hand he sounds ill informed and childish in his questions, on the last email he sounds like a different person.

Either way, their is just something about him that rubs me the wrong way. I also feel obligated now to finish my car, man... nothing like pressure to motivate you.

Well atleast we are seeing some new members and visitors.

[maireeka]

Here's a question I've been thinking about... How come it works better on smaller engines? Is it because it's a smaller unit that doesn't move the air to "motivate" a large displacement engine?
