One of the worst products I have used was the Greddy Profec B Spec II. On paper it looked great: Two boost settings, a cool blue display, warning and auto boost limit, boost display in both metric and standard units, etc. Maybe it was because it was one of the first ones in the country or something was wrong with it, but I could not get it to hold consistent boost. In back to back boost tests I would get something different every time. I spent about a month messing with it before going back to my old Profec B. I wish I had gone with an SBCID or DSBC instead. Further, I later found out that the Spec II "may have trouble with fast spooling turbos" I had a 35R at the time. Find it funny that shortly after they released the Spec S. Anyone else haver problems with the Spec II?

2nd worst product was the Apexi N1 Dual exhaust. Again, on paper it looked good: Twin aggressive looking outlets, removable silencers, high temp coating on the piping. In reality it fits like crap, melts the rear valence, sounds terrible, and rusts. The best thing that ever happened with it was when I ran over something and bent one of the canisters. I gave it away to some kid and replaced it with a Greddy SP.
