IPF Knock-OFF S/C Kits - **BEWARE**

It has come to our attention once again there are individuals on this forum offering "never installed" or "open box" IPF Supercharger kits. These are knock off kits. We WILL NOT support these kits, we will not tune these kits and will not share installation instructions for these kits, we will not even sell any individual components or replacement parts when they fail.

We take this very seriously, so please buy from IPF directly or any of our AUTHORIZED distributors. We track all IPF S/C inventory and the inventory of our authorized distributors. If you have been offered one of these kits please contact us immediately. We can verify the authenticity of an IPF kit by serial numbers.

Thank you.

Well I almost got burned by this......

Good thing Andy from IPF saved me here.

Tracy from RX is something else. Makes me want to rip the RC Catch can out of my car right now. Hopefully I'll win the Elite one with the contest running now. lol

If anyone wants more details PM me.

Yeah what Cisco said. His low cost IPF wannabe kit is an even bigger joke than his junk kit that he rushed to market to try and one up IPF. Not a single one works without extensive modification. He cuts corners and over promises and under delivers on his products, brags about his drag racing experience and tried to insert himself into each new development like he's the all knowing guru shepherding the process along. Now he's targeting the ecoboost crowd with his CC's.

We have three authorized dealers in China, one in Beijing another in Shanghai and one in Mongolia. These are the only authorized IPF dealers in Asia. They install USA made IPF kits we export.

In China they have found these knock off kits and are aware of the source, The pictures I received of the kit from Kaboom1701 look like the Hong Kong counterfeit, I had this verified by Arno (our design engineer in Germany). These are made from low grade materials and do not even bolt in correctly from our research, we are taking actions to stop this at the source.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Even the fine people of China do not want the knock-off junk! They are actually proud to install fine U.S. made products!
