Default Anyone with OFI kit

Any of you guys who have received everything from OFI or at least your hot parts how is the quality? Was it what you expected? How is fitment? If you had any problems what were they?(this doesn't mean problems with customer service or receiving parts) I'm basically trying to find out if the OFI kit is something people want and are pulling back because of the customer service problems. If so, if there were another company to provide a similar package(either just hot parts or a complete package including turbo, rad, fans, etc) would there be enough people that want the kit to warrant the production?

Short answer is the quality itself is good. I was lucky to get my whole kit in the 6-8 week time frame. I think the major issue is the 9+ month wait or whatever is going on now. If I change my setup, I may have my brand new kit and S91 for sale, no wait . If you want some good hot part mock up pics, just search my user name.

I don't think I made myself very clear. My interest isn't in buying an OFI kit. I want to know problems, concerns, complaints, etc to see what can be improved upon. I'm more interested in picking up the business that OFI is losing. Right now I'm trying to find out if the people who have their kits are satisfied with fitment, clearances, and what not. If there's enough interest I'll start putting one together as a trial.

Are you buying the company OFI? Or you will be copying OFI's kit?

If you're going to sell a shelf kit it will work but if you're going to ask for downpayment, it will be difficult.

Firehawk123, a member here, did a thread about his OFI's kit install and it was clean. The kit has great potential for power and is upgradable. Joel seems to be a master fabricator.

I like OFI's kit more than any kit that I saw before. Only problem is the unanticipated long wait.
