Yeah Patrick and Keith I know got some. I think Patrick included his at retail price. Or said he would.
It's a sponsorship, so included in budget at FMV (probably retail).
In reply to Tom Suddard :
That's kinda what I was thinking Tom. But if they offered the same deal to all Challenge competitors then maybe they should sponsor the event. 
I want some maxpeedingrods coilovers for a taurus so I can see if they'll fit the taurus-platform Continental so I can bring a FWD V8 to the challenge. 
Iirc keith said they weren't worth what he paid for them.
In reply to jfryjfry :
Oh I agree, but I noticed the email mentioned turbos too. If it lasted long enough for 6-autox runs & 2 or 3 drag passes that would work out ok.
Dammit why am I not cool enough for free MaxPeeDingRods? Is it because I put the caps on the wrong letters?

Ahhhh I didn't realize the depth of their catalog!
In reply to jfryjfry :
You can get some free others also.
In reply to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :
I'll forward you their email if you want, I'm sure they'd be happy to send you stuff since you actually compete. They must not have very strict criteria since they emailed me.

Keith is great, but I disagree with him here. They're a solid challenge option and worked well on my WRX. My sister has several thousand miles on her forester with their coilovers that she got from pimpm3 that he challenged last year, and they're holding up fine.
I believe I'm asking for a turbo next to compare it to a different brand of offshore turbo. I got a very nice fuel filter from them. I know their stuff isn't sniffing flyin miata quality, but when you're building a car with a hard $2000 budget(and don't cheat like certain people) and stuff needs to last for a weekend and anything beyond is a bonus, they're a good source.

I watched that video last night. Was really hoping for some dyno numbers but understandable why you guys wouldn't want to spend that kind of money for a free turbo.
In reply to Patrick (Forum Supporter) :
Having drove that car for several hundred miles I can say they were slightly under dampened but not horrible.

There will be dyno and ETs in the future. We will have 2 for the dyno and 4 for the strip soon. Building and creating video content is huge amount of work. Sorry for being slackers, we'll try to meet your expectations better in the future.
In reply to wheels777 :
Ok I take it back. I didn't want to see that kinda dyno run.
In reply to wheels777 :
I'm really glad that you guys are putting forth the effort to produce the videos though. I just found them and subscribed and hope that y'all get enough of a following for monetization of them as it's deserved for the efforts.

I completely agree with this, one of the best at showing what's really happening. May be because I actually know you but hey still hope the YouTube thing works.
