They have already posted they won't sell any twins until their single kits have been delivered. They developed the twin while the single was off being fabricated. I was upset at first also, but I do understand that they were excited to release a new and very well liked kit and things don't always go as planned/timed. Any date past mid Feb. and I will start looking at all of my options, but for now I'm very ancious to see their kit out in some cars.

I just think its funny that they are behind schedule, as they were the ones in the begninning saying that kind of stuff was inexcuseable.

Now its them doing the same thing
Id love to get one of their twin kit, just dont have the cash

I believe they said there was a problem with their downpipes, like whoever they had build them did it wrong or something. But I'd say wait for them to chime in.

There are other turbo kits on the market. If they can't deliver someone else can. That's the beauty of capitalism.

Agreed . But it looks like such a nice kit for the price. Almost to good to be true. Thats why I'm so anxious to see some results from them.

I read the same thing but wonder why it would take months to redo a downpipe

a few months isnt nothing. be patient. this way all the bugs get worked out and you have no issues with instalation. ive been waiting nearly 9months from GZ to get my kit done so i know how it is to wait.

I'd be incredibly nervous if I had my money out of pocket for 3-4 months, and nothing to show for it.

Why wouldn't the rest of the kit be delivered? The DP is one of the last pieces needed to install the kit, why hold up the entire kit for a piece that can be added last, right before final start-up?

yup, they will probably say they want to test fit it with everything. But I see no reason why the kit can't be delivered without the dp...unless it's not finished itself.

We completely assemble and test fit each kit on a car before it will be shipped.

The truth is you might say we overcomplicated things by deciding to have our piping CNC mandrel bent. It was one and still is one of the features we are dead set on, because I think it stands us out from other systems in professionalism. The lead time however, has honestly been causing the opposite unfortunately. Believe me, I am more stressed out than you can imagine trying to understand and deal with these manufacturing people (who view us as a small player compared to their other jobs/government contracts.) However, I will not call us deciding to use high tech manufacturing a mistake, and while I still cannot promise a time I can still maintain my promise that my loyal customer's patience will be rewarded with an outstanding product that is truely unmatched and uncomparable to other offerings.

For those who wish to go down the road already traveled and purchase kits during our waiting period from these other manufacturers, the more power to you and I also bless you for supporting the other manufacturers; they will need as much as they can get because I know it is evident that once our numbers top the records and the Street Killer sees complete track and street dominance in 2006 it will be a hard time for the others.

Thanks again for your continued patience.

Marko's supra was a bad A$$ peice. i think you are being very bold calling out other PROVEN companies, and stating they will need as much support as they can get once you fianlly deliver your product. what really suprises me is that you make that statement with no numbers for anyone. it is eigther foolish or you guys are gonna blow us away with this kit. on of the two. i for one have followed the threads religously waiting for numbers. i am very impressed with what i have seen thus far. i hope your kits live up to my and everyone else's expectations. if they do i know where my $$$ will be spent.

dont take anythin i have said personally. i have been awake way to long. 12hr shifts with a OT added sucks. I like the $$$$ though.

That's big talk; alot of hype. It's great if you deliver. It'll bury you if you don't.
Good luck with the manufac. process, the early pics looked good. Now it *has* to be great.

It always had to be great. This was our key goal from the beginning.
