Ron FTE member "Ronspowerstroke" is a great guy .So I have been researching which turbo to upgrade to, a Beans Dominator 66 or GTP 38R. I have an early '99 so the decision is a little more complicated for me. I noticed in Ron's SIG that he has an E99 with a GTP38R so I contacted him about how his swap went and how difficult and costly it was. Ron was great explaining to me all the pros and cons, as well as discussing my options with me. I trust Ron, not to mention he's been there and done that already, like I said we both have E99's. Anyway after a long unbiased discussion with Ron I have decided that the Beans Dominator 66 is hands down the best option for what I am trying to achieve, Thanks again Ron for all the time you spent discussing the turbos with me. Well here's where Ron really stepped up to the plate and displayed some of his great intentions to really help a fellow FTE member. While discussing Turbos he went on to explain how it would be a good time to do my EBPV delete mod and going with the deleted plenum and outlet. He went on to tell me how he still had is old stock pedestal for the E99 setup and he would mod it up for me if I'd like. Let me tell you how shocked I was at such a nice jester from a man I never met in person and only know from the FTE forums. It gets even better, I offered to buy it and even pay for the shipping and he didn't charge me, he shipped it all out to me for FREE. Thank you so much Ron, again. I just can't say it enough. To really attest to how great Ron is, without getting into any specific details about his health, he was not feeling well at the time, and I told him please wait until you are feeling better. Well he did it anyways, not feeling well at the time, you're amazing Ron. I just want to say Ron your distinctive accomplishments and selfless acts reflect great credit upon yourself and FTE as an outstanding member. Thanks, I will always remember you're kind jeture and plan on paying it forward as well in the future whenever I am able too.
