Fair play, only a couple of british made cores are better than the garrett ones, and they are stupidly expensive. So the testing on this will be very interesting to see

They probably can't, from what I understand they don't make much on each unit anyway!

Pete is one man band and works his nuts off so id would be dissapointed if he did as he would be working for next to nothing ! ive manged to get his coolers on car like Julian Godfrey's winning rally cross car and few ex bttc cars and a new bttc so hope fully he will be that busy this year coming with others he wont be to worried about people robbing all his work and development

I dont know Pete or his products but if there is a one man band producing a good product it would be a shame if dealings like this made it inefficent for him to keep producing

Lets hope your right , as i've seen at first hand how much passion this bloke has for his work and the time he spends getting every detail right , yes he can be frustrating at times with his perfection but that is what seperate's him from the mass produced market .

Dave ..wash your mouth outlol

exactly why poeple should still use him as you get a brilliant built product tested to discruction by sheady/ rod now julian plus the brooklands old bttc car , but if you do have a issue with anything of spec r pete wont rest until its all sorted !!

Theres alway's going to be copies like said in this thread that will be cheaper and fact is most who modify road cars justify buying cheaper copies with the attitude oh its the same lol ! but over the years i have learned buy it once buy it right so on a big powered performance car spec r have got it right .

It's a copy and it could do with some finishing as the pipe exit looks harsh, as it comes out the end cap ,also how come suddenly people are going poor pete ( spec r ) he is a one man band blur blur blur , but it funny how the hart pleniums are made by a one man band that had to invest in expensive machinery and most people were going it cheaper I will buy from air(copy other peoples as I have no imagination )tec and hart should drop his prices ,and now it's turned to someone who they know being coped it different , DOUBLE STANDARDS I think is the word i am looking for and I did hear a something that mountune had stopped them selling there copy of the duratec inlet, if that is true then good on them and I hope the other companys follow suit as there fucking over some peoples ( one man bands as they are ref" to ) company's , only coz some people have there own company's don't mean there minted and don't give a fuck. Once again airtec robbing bastards

Just to clarify I mean "One man band" as a complement and wasnt aware this was the case with the hart

If they can make them to the same or better quality cheaper then good on them i think! its a buyers market lately good on them their products seem top quality and affordable.

If the inlets are exactly the same then nothing will be different - interested to see what the inlet does on the standard 500 cooler then the new - thats the part I'm interested in
