I read in streetstalkerz post that Derek has left TCS. It looks like we have been ripped off to me I bought a TCI its installed. I wasnt going to wait for something that isnt ever going to happen. They tagged me for $420 Could have been worse. I think the administraters need to take an active role in helping to resolving this

Yes Derek has left, I just called his house, but TCS is not out of buisness from the impression I got, they have another owner. So lets not all get pissed at Derek himself, we don't know all the details of what happened. That means the new owner needs to step up, get his **** in line with all the orders and phone calls and start talking.

It might be nice if the LS1Tech Staff could try to get to the bottom of this. Perhaps their calls will get more attention that it's members that are up a creek with out a captain at the moment.

The problem should be getting worked on tomorrow but it's not to say that they will get in touch with anyone either,just an effort to speak with the new boss. Only so much you can do when no one answers the phone or emails.

Saying Derek has left is much like saying Ed Wright left Ed Wright Tuning. He was TCS.

well I already have my converter but i'm wanting to know if the 3 year warranty is still true. I mean so far so good, but if I do have a problem it's nice to know I can get it taken care of.

I left a message for them.

Who has an outstanding order with them?

I'd appreciate any additional phone numbers for Vannessa or the new owner (Derek's father?).

I placed an order for a Phoenix on 8/26. They ran a couple of gp's right before the "problems" started,so I assume that there are more than a few people waiting on converters. I hope to hear something soon, because I lose my ability to file a complaint through papal after 30 days.That time will be up by this Thurs/Fri.

p.s. Has anyone ever filed a complaint through paypal? How does it work?

PSJ,

I'll be contacting them about my converter which appears to be defective (seeing 5150 on 4200 stall) to arrange an RMA to have them look at it and test.

I filed mine online last Friday. According to them it should take 10 days for a refund. They already tried to contact them once with no help. TCS really needs to step up to the plate and voluntarily refund the money to those who request it. This is BS.

PM sent

I have Derek's home #. That is what kind of guy he way, he gave me his home number and told me to call him from the track the first time I went out to see how I did. I have also been in contacat with Mikey @ Rapidmotorsports, who emailed me back saying he was going to try and contact Derek. Mikey is actually the first person I went through when ordering my converter.
