I would not recommend dkt to anyone!! He has had my aps manifolds for about 8 months now. He was getting them coated for me being part of the package deal we agreed on when i bought my turbo kit. I have called and e-mailed but get zero responce on either. I would expected a lot better customer service after spending 6 thousand dollars I guess i gotta find new manifolds now.

That really sucks to hear man. My question is, why go through all the trouble of bringing a high demand product to the market. Go on multiple forums (LS1Tech and CF) showing them off, and then can't deliver!?!

I sent Devin emails and messages on Facebook inquiring about the upgraded turbos and never got a response back. Now I glad he didn't get back to me.

Looked very attractive I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger either or it would be a legal matter right now.

I just placed my order a few days ago, I've never had a difficult time getting a response from him. Waiting to hear back on an estimated delivery time.

I'll update when I hear more.

Devin, if you're reading this, I want my parts!!! I have tried every single avenue possible to get a hold of you, to no avail. Resorting to an online forum in hopes that you read this post is a last resort. This is ridiculous, everything about this purchase has been nothing but a problem. You are holding up my entire build!

Ship me what I paid for!

Now you know why I went with a big single....

APS kits are great, if you dont want to upgrade them.

I received my turbos because I hounded PTE, if I hadn't, I'm sure I would still be sitting without turbos. Devin still owes me my Exa pump, TCI mini starter and oil lines. It's literally impossible to get a hold of him. At this point in the build I can't afford to buy another pump and starter, it's halting my build from completion.

I just want my parts and never deal with this company again.

How long has it been? Does precision have to actually manufacture the part? I am considering going this route as well.

It's been 35 days. PTE has to make them and you have to go through DKT to purchase. It's the fact I've only heard from Devin when I bothered PTE to the point they started calling him asking what was up. They must have the number to the bat phone, because I have called Devin 100 times and he has never answered. After he got my money, all communication stopped.

The stuff he owes me is all drop ship stuff, there is no excuse to not ship. I'm fearing the worst.
