Default Got in the Steel ATI bracket

Got a nice present on my front door step today. Jason sent me one of his custom machined steel ATI brackets. My first impression is it is one hell of a piece. Just holding this bracket I can tell where the other one might flex. VERY sturdy! I'm still waiting on a few more parts to come in before mounting it, but I'm very pleased with what I was sent and hopefully will ward off any flexing issues before they become a problem for me.

Jason told me he was going to cook up another batch of these sometime soon, so if you're interested don't worry he isn't sold out. I'll report back when I actually get her on there.

Good to know, Mike. I'll be stepping up to one of these instead of waiting for a support bracket.

PSJ, I believe $175.

Hey NBM, did your bracket come inside a fedex box inside a larger brown box? if so Jason told me that mine, and perhaps yours were sent out in a FEDEX air box with a ground shipping label. They had to be sent back and repackaged. that's why they took longer than usual to get to us. If that wasn't the case for you then forget this message

$180.00

I went from intermittent boost-dives hovering around 8 to 11 PSI to 13 or 14 PSI solid, with no other changes other than this bracket.

I have not had to replace any belts since then, either. This belt is in such good shape, I'd reuse it, if it weren't for the fact I took it and the 6-rib pulley off to put on my new ATI 8-rib, the Superdamper and to pin the crank.

Guys, if you are an ATI Procharged car with the aluminum bracket and running big boost, I can't overstate the value of this piece!

As I recall, that was the price of the part... helluva deal, since the other bracket, mass-produced, costs at LEAST that much.

I got mine the same week he verified it was made.

But, I think he keeps them in stock, now, once he heard guys say they are interested. I think that is pretty cool (and risky) of him, since interest from a limited community as this one could wane at any time.

Oh I'm not knocking Jason. I think this was an honest mistake. But I ordered mine slightly after NBM and like him just got it. I think this was one of those rare instances where it actually was a problem with shipping and not a dishonest seller. It's just Jason told me that he sent mine out with another and they were both sent back. Since NBM just got his I figured it might have been him. Small world

Hey guys,

just wanted to let every one know I've got 4 left. Good chance I won't run more until June-July. Reason being I am used up all my material and really don't want to buy any more for inventory purposes for a while. We are getting ready to dive into some more development work for the next month or so and most of my extra funds will be tied up in that.


Here's something you guys might get a kick out of though....

'00 Wrangler 4.0 ltr. stock HP is 190 and 235 Tq.
8#'s intercooled ATI (we made all the brackets, tubing, drive and fuel systems) 325 HP and 400 Tq

Pretty cool and hell of alot of fun to drive.

www.automotionperformance.com/00-04wrangler.html

Thanks again
and if anyone has this brkt. running on their car and would like to give any positive or negative feed back PLEASE do so. We're always trying to make a better product.
