It's a shame when there is a scam artist that has a few guys on here to "back" how good the service is. I'm very reluctant to deal with anything but legit companies because of people like this dipshit.

I've ordered nothing and it will remain that way. Lsx1 is probably the most honest person I know. It's just sad to see someone take someone's money with no product (or response) given back. I'm glad you received what you ordered, that's the way it's supposed to go. The guy only wants his money back. How is that such an issue? UNLESS THE GUY IS A SCAMMING DIPSHIT like I first said.

I know Devin on a personal level. a lot of people do. i know devin has told me about Venom build over seas ( sounds great btw)

Devin's business is his top prioity under God and Family. he told me a little about this situation,. isnt my business. but every story has to sides. i'll try to get him on here to respond for himself but the mods have pretty well told him not to come back. lol.

Josh, i hope all works out. we are all looking forward to hearing what happens. and once you get the turbos you will love them. i Love them and most i know that have them do.

Nwalton29. the comment "It's a shame when there is a scam artist that has a few guys on here to "back" how good the service is"

the few guys you speak of and very well and highly know members in the LS community. Venom, been around for EVER. lol. And inspector has been around for Ever also.

all im saying is throwing the scam word around when your talking about well known and honest people is a big dick move.

hope this all turns out good

I'm going to go out on a limb and say because he wasn't a sponsor.

Yeah. When he posted up asking if the fbody community would like another kit.

They came down on him pretty hard. I doesn't mind paying. Just paying for info is stupid.

Update: It took a little over a year and a half, for whatever reasons, but Devin did come through and I have my turbos and k-member that I ordered. Big thanks to toxic for his help in the situation.

Just pay the money to be a sponsor. his ONLY outlet to sell these turbos and parts is here, LS1tech.

I turned a blind eye to it, because its a quality product. However, I still pay to be a sponsor.

Gotta pay to play. You charge an arm and a leg for a product, but dont want to pay the place that allows you to market and sell your product. Doesnt make a lot of sense to me. But hey, what do I know?

If you want APS upgrades that are tried and true, proven, and we still answer the phone and email, and deliver the product, you can see our setup here :

the fees are high on this site. you should know first hand. lol. but fees or not its a TECH site so if he came on here to give TECH advice he shouldnt be hounded about paying a fee to HELP WITH A TECH QUESTION. this is ls1TECH not LS1 SELL ****. lol.


also, PTE turbos arent tried and true?? or proven??

your turbos are great minus the fact if you want a big cube high horse you are stuck NOT able to get there. your AR is to small for a big cube.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...in-kuwait.html

^^^ lets see your turbos do that??

or Tim Lynch's car hit 1326 on PTE turbos.

How do you think Devon sold all of his turbos? By giving tech advice? Yea, right. He came on here, and promoted them through you guys, and himself. Maybe they should ban you because you keep pushing his product, and PMing people, doing his dirty work?

It took a lot of pressure on the gate for tim to make that power, and to my knowledge, its one of, what, 2 or 3 cars that actually make over 1000 with twins and that base of turbo? My compressors will support 1000-1050. More if you have an extreme kit, which has the 1.06 turbine housing.

I agree, its a nice piece, but if the guy wont sponsor, dont get upset that the mods asked him to not come back. People like ME, SPEED INC, ERL, ETC ETC pay MONEY so that this site is able to run, in exchange, we provide our parts, services, etc to users on this board.

So when a freeloader comes in, good product or not! and refuses to pay sponsorship fees ( 300/month) its assinine that you feel bad for him.

Youre one of his biggest supporters. How many turbos has he sold? Its a drop in the bucket in the big picture. if you cant afford 300/month, you really dont need to be taking peoples money, and selling product. Someone will get fucked one way or another.

Sorry, its just the way it is. pay to be a sponsor. Promote your products, grow your business.

no i think he sells his turbos since he has the rights to them. example when you yourself or speed inc or LMR or Vengeance racing need these upgrades you call PTE. they tell you get ahold of devin.

yeah i am a big supporter of him. he has treated me right. and he is the ONLY company that tool the APS kit and made a great upgrade. his business is extremly small comparied to yours. so for a small business to drop HUGE dollars on casting fees. sure ill support that. he took a huge gamble. you guys just took some FP turbos and stuck them in old APS turbos. im from the EVO world. FP aint bad. just and great. had two of there turbos fail on me.

but hey we could do this all day. we both probably wont see eye to eye. so i guess we should jsut agree to dissagree. you think people should pay to help out the communty and i think helping and selling are different.

---------------------------------------

BTW Josh your welcome. how those things look??? let me know how it runs once those get on your car.

If he actually sponsored and promoted his own product, he would sell a lot more and probably be able to bring the cost down a bit because of the number of sales. Forums as big as this are a business as well.

When I was waiting on my other turbos, I had Louis upgrade me a set of extreme Aps turbos, and they are a top notch product and on my car right now. He also answered the phone or any questions that I had, and is extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend LG Motorsports to anyone looking for an upgrade!

Basically it is same as normally kit upgrade. Just if you have an extreme kit it gives you a 1.06 a/r housing instead of the .8x ( I think ) a/r.

Still journal. Still 70lbs/min
