• It is just too bad you got out of the VW seat because you could be dropping a cool 1K on this if you hadn't been towed over to the Benz of things.

• He scams all over the place. Check out his emiata site: http://emiata.com/
  
  We had a user on our local VW forum selling a bunch of Prothe turbos. He was trying to pass them off as legit but when asked about the brand he got defensive. Someone found the same turbos (same pics and everything) from Prothe's ebay site. Dude then deleted the ad  And now he can't figure out why everyone thinks he's a tool bag...
