From the way they are marketing their kit.
From this post. From posts on another forum in a post about my car where Mark decided to tout his kit and how much better it was. Then promised a dyno plot... which never appeared. This was 4-5 months ago.
If your product is so much better or even good there is no need to market it by claiming how much better it is, especially with no proof. Let the product stand on its own.

Odd...
my name isn't Todd and you're free to say whatever you want about whoever you want. No need to apologize to me for it. I just think it's silly that you can't even provide any data on the ASP kit yet you're bench racing it already.

not that I'm here every day but I haven't seen them market their kit at all, anywhere
if Mark made a post about it I missed it. I was just surprised by your comment since I haven't seen any ASP posts on it, including this thread. At the end of the day this is good, a healthy competetive industry is a good thing.

I fully agree on a competitive market, hence my comment in a few posts above
about how I look forward to the ASP kit being released as competition helps aid in pushing companies to develop further.
I haven't seen Mark post anything about it here either but on other forums he has. As for this post this is pretty clear <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/454111.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/454111.phtml</a> and while it's not from ASP itself it's from someone representing ASP and the beta program.

I don't think representing is the right word but I understand how this thread could be viewed that
way. I think there is more to this story. If ASP wanted to find a pool of beta testers, I would expect Mark or Frank to come on here and officially ask for them, as they have done for other products. I think this is more about an active long time member of this board trying help push the product development process along. Just my opinion of course ;-)
As a old B6 owner myself, I'm very interested in seeing the SC kits develop and really excited to see your car and the others up and running. How is your car doing? I hope things are going well.

My car's running good. Racked up almost 6k on the blower so far
with no problems to report other than a toasted clutch. I'd like to get some downpipes and high flow cats on the car to help it breath a little better and also look into alternative intake options as I think the factory airbox may be restricting. I might pull from the b5 memories and cut some holes in the bottom 1/2.
I understand your point about this not offically being from ASP but posts like this <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/454162.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/454162.phtml</a> make it seem otherwise.
