After looking into this as much as I could (considering they have been out of business for like 7-8 years)
it sounds like deadhook was actually doing extremely well at least at 1 point. They did tuning, engine building, and all sorts of stuff for the entire eco boost line. Not just fiestas. And at some point he started selling sour skittles cyborg c39 turbos (I had no idea these were so bad). And there were all sorts of failures. And sour skittle somehow left dead hook to clean up the mess. And because they were so distracted by this, they couldn’t even manage to get tunes out. And when they did finally send them out, they were wrong. With some people waiting months for their base tune. What I don’t get is why didn’t they just stop selling the cyborg turbos after the first few failures? Why did he keep sending out bad turbos to more and more people?
he would charge people 100% up front for engine builds, and keep them waiting forever and wouldn’t give refunds. So people had no choice but to wait. It sounds like he got screwed by someone else’s shotty work. It’s sad but it sounds like he didn’t do his due diligence on the people he agreed to work with.
When ur entire company is focusing on damage control for 1 area, the other areas suffer. Eventually he owed so many people so much money, he was forced to closed down and sell everything off to pay people back.
