Default Forced Inductions

Could someone shine some light on this for me? I just would like to know whats going on.

Here is what I wrote, in regards to Forced Inductions. I am not mad just frustrated.

If someone could help me out that would be great.

What do you mean the vband broke? Like the lips that go on the pipe, or the actual band?

Well I can't just give them my turbo. I just would like to get some sort of answer. I really didn't want to go on here and say anything but I have no other way.

The communication isnt the best. I've paid them for my GT91, and it's supposed to ship today/tomorrow. I hope I hear something indicating it's been shipped. I've read some guys waiting 3 months to get a turbo, hope mine isnt the same way.

Jose is a very nice guy to deal with, I spoke with him over the phone last month. If you can't get a hold of him over the phone that's because he's really busy in the shop.

Jose is awesome to deal with, and about the 3 month wait on the Garrett gt91 turbo...Garrett was slow on producing comp wheels so that's not Forced Inductions fault.

I know he is a good guy to deal with and he is probably busy. But I have dealt with many other turbo companies before and it has never taken this long. I would like just a simple phone call ir a pm or email back. That's it.

He is a very nice guy, I've talked to him several times. I just had to call a bunch to get ahold of him. I know he's busy, I just hope I get a turbo this week.

I pm'ed you back this morning. I think you spoke with Jose already as well. Your turbo is ready already.....I think Jose was waiting on a call back from you on shipping or something. Just let him know or pm me.

I too just talked with Jose this week about some turbo questions. He was very nice and gave me some good advice. This made him no profit whatsoever but he spent a least ten minutes answering my questions. yes, I had to call about three times but it was not a big deal to me.

Just talked to Jose this morning everything is squared away. Just took long for the communication, but all is good now.
