Yea he is a busy man. It will be worth the wait though. I actually just got off the phone with him, and the kit should be here next week. Great guy to deal with and answers every question you have. He will get my whole car in a year or two to get some more stuff done to it.

ws602...I am originally from Haughton, LA. My parents live in Benton now. Just saw where you are from. The wife and I visit about 3 times a year.

Thanks for the Props guys.

Yes some of these setups take a awhile to build. I am pretty up fornt about it. You Pay, You Wait, or You go elsewhere. Doesnt matter to me. I dont offer Cookie Cutter Setups. I offer Mail order One Off setups and In house Builds Ranging form 500rwhp Street Cars to What ever you want as Wild as you can Afford.

At the end of the day I still go home with plenty of work at the shop to do. Cant complain.

Default Josh at KYTP

Let me tell you about Josh at KYTP... I first contacted Josh about 1 1/2 years ago and we talked about a turbo kit for my car. He stayed on the phone with me during his workday until EVERY question was answered I had, and believe me, I knew nothing. I had a family emergency and was drained of all my funds. I was too embarrased to call him and cancel our plans of a build. Fast forward to this past June, I called him out of the blue to talk, and it's as if we never lost contact. I worked my *** off for my car and it's mods and not only did we pick up where we left off talking, he actually came down from Kentucky to pick my car up. He and I have discussed many options, and I am letting him build MY DREAM CAR. So, if anyone out there has anything to thank Josh for, it would be me. You have a customer for life, and many more from Texas headed your way soon. Thank you my friend.

I was wondering who this Josh guy is too? I like Josh, he's straight up no bullshit, very rare in this industry where people promise everything and fail to deliver.

Josh makes some stellar kits. It took a while to get it, but the wait is so worth it.

As stated above, Josh is a stand up guy. He always, and I mean always, answered the phone when I called. It does take awhile to get the kit, but if you want a kit that goes together easily, KYTurbo is the way to go.

...and it doesn't look bad either.
