Default KY-Turbo Inc News.

This year has been a good one. Started off busy. Added a little boy to the family. It seems that I have been burning the candle at both ends for so long that I think that is how it is supposed to be. I just went back to work as a Maintenance Technician at one of the local Plants. My wife and little Boy deserve to have Health Insurance. I am lighting this Candle in the Middle too.

As of the end of September, I am gonna Put a Hold on new Turbo Setup Orders. This will remain in effect until I can get caught up with the work load which I currently have. I am in no shape, form, or Fashion going out of Business or Dropping out of the game. I stopped orders once before and it was a great decision, and I feel that it is the fair thing to do for my current customers and Future ones. Hopefully this will only take a Month or so to get done.

I refuse to take the Path many other shops have done in the Turbo Game. I have been here to long to let that happen. I will continue to offer Parts Sales and Technical Support. Derek is putting out some very nice GP's in the GP Section of the bored.

I will update the FI section regularly so that everyone can see what’s going on in the shop.

Thanks for the Business.

good to see a vendor stepping up like that, usually just take orders and you don't see your parts for months

Well I know where I"ll be getting my turbo stuff from come spring time.

Good call Josh, you have to take care of family first, as they will be the ones who are there for you. I agree with everyone else on here, Josh is a straight up and honest guy, which seems rare in this industry. Best of luck!

Obviously I can speak from first-hand experience about this. And let me say, VERY SMART DECISION JOSH!! I hear nothing but great things about you and your "candle-burning" business. If I can ever help in any way, just let me know.

Can't wait to see what you have in store for everyone in 2011!!!

Take care!

You're an intelligent and logical individual to understand what could potentially occur with as much candle burning as you were doing (professionally, as well as personally), very smart decision.

Good call, and I hope you're back at it shortly.

"I do my best to run my shop on a basis of controlled growth. I have seen to many turbo shop start up with a promising setup only to disappear with $$$$$ and no shipped kits. I will not go down that road. I will turn down business to keep from out growing myself."

this was in one of your first posts as a sponsor. its great to know you're a man of your word, we all appreciate it more than you know.

Nice to see a company "man" (in this industry) make a bold move like that in the name of "the customer"......instead of what most of them do, THEN go out of business.

Only crappy thing.......I've been talking to you about my single turbo kit the past 2 weeks and just got the pricing and questions out of the way......now I have to wait.............
Its cool........now that my builder and I just made the decision to go with a new LSX engine instead of rebuild and resuse my old one.

You make some of the most beautiful turbo kits and you have inspired me to do alot of what I want to do. My only complaint is that you give an unreal expectation of how my fab work should come out! hahaha

Its really nice to see a sponsor taking a break from work instead of taking money and running like alot of companies do.
