I dont understand why anyone wouldnt "admit" to owning something...is boost shaming a thing now? lol.
I have products from all the companies on my sling currently...Alpha, Hahn, DDM, ect. I dont play the brand loyal game with anything I own. Competition between companies brings new innovation to the market and it only hurts the community when one of them goes under.
Its not a shocker more people chose the DDM SC because its a easier install and easier to work with over all, but its limiting. For some they are completely fine with the sock configuration or changing the pulley size but for me personally I wanted more flexibility then that. There is a reason people who are chasing high hp numbers use turbo setups regardless who makes them...
I agree that it comes down to personal choice. I got the Hahn for the FIC and second set of injectors which I like. I'll go as far as saying it's better for me as I want to learn more about the boost and pulling logs and such. I like the analytics. Can I get it from other systems... sure, can add it. But the price was good and it's what I wanted. But I also have DDM's name all over my other products. Display Welter's name as well. As long as I feel I am getting support from Hahn and he stands behind his work, I'm good. I like turbo, but in truth haven't driven a supercharger. Maybe someday... but no plans on switching at the moment as I haven't learned enough about what the product can do. I will have to say that I have had both good and bad interactions with every vendor that I have purchased from... except for Welter and find his customer service to be one of the best out there. For the vendors I haven't had the pleasure, I'll be down at Maggie... bring it on!
