Default Ohio Forced Inductions Inc.

Im glad to join LS1 Tech and a sponser. This site is the place to get info on anything you need to know about your car and so on.I know there has been some ruff times on here with turbo manufactures in the past, but I talked to tony and I understand what needs to be done. You order a kit you get a kit...done. Thanks Again tony and john. Keep up the good work.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Joel and I live in the cleveland area. Here at OFI I build turbo kits for many different cars and trucks. Plus I do performance upgrades as well....from gears to engines.

I design, build and install all of the kits myself. Kits are available for mail order as they are designed and ready. I will have kits for the most popular on hand and ready to ship. Some kits will require a 2-3 week build time depending on production and availability on parts.

I will be selling single turbo kits and twin turbo kits for the 4th gen f-body. I think these will be the best ones out there for the price. I will also be working on the both single and twin for the GTO, Mustang,Cobra, Chevy trucks and front wheel drive GM 5.3L cars. Also with the turbo kits I will have all the BOV, WG, tubing,flanges and silicone on hand.

Will do custom turbo setups for any car or truck. Contact me for more info.

If you can actually ship kits out in a resonable amount of time and not charge absurd rates you can corner the market i think. Main problem is getting the kits in peoples hands when they want em. Not 2-3 or even 8-9 months+ later...

I think too many people have been burned to get really excited.

It would help if you could provide a little history of your company and some pictures of your work.

Congrats and welcome!

We could really use another quality player in the turbo game here. It's almost silly reading about some of the experiences some members have had. I feel bad for a lot of people that have money tied up with companies that have promised "2 more weeks" for the last 7+ months.

This is your first real intro, I'm sure you'll have some pictures of previous projects/combos in the future, we can't wait to see them.

I'm rooting for you, please don't let us down. ~Joshua

Post Here's a tip/idea

I like the Incon kits because of the heavy duty cast manifolds that comes with it. If you can offer a kit using the factory '02 manifolds and make a y-pipe/turbo off those manifolds you will save considerable cost and you'll gain durability.

I can't see most of the welded manifolds lasting 60k miles miles without cracking. The weight of the turbo mixed with the extreme heat will spell the end for most. (especially after seeing the welds on some of them) If you have welded manifolds it may be wise to offer a brace the holds some of the weight.

Phamspeed had a "budget kit" that used the factory manifolds but he got behind on his work and then sold out and then it seemed the whole thing didn't go anywhere after that.

Here's a picture of the Incon kit, If you can just use a factory manifold when designing your kit I think it flow equal/better than the log-style manifolds with better durability.




Having your kits itemized would make the install much easier for the end-user also.

Thanks for your input. I really liked the Incon kit...just wish you could've put a bigger turbo on it. I really liked the cast manifolds for the kit the most. Was thinking about doing something like that, but dont know where to get those made at or the cost.

Phamspeed...was ok I just dont like going under the k-member.

Yes, that is Joel. Before signing on as a sponsor here, we asked that no turbo kit GP's be done, and that he would only sell kits that he has in stock. He can ask for partial deposits, but we do not encourage multiple orders being placed without items being ready to ship. Too many turbo vendors have burned our members in the past, so we are tightening the screws in this forum.

Welcome to the site (again) Joel, looking forward to seeing your work.
