Default Is Forced Inductions dot com still in business?

I sent them my PT7675 several weeks ago with all the information. I sent it priority with insurance and the tracking info showed it arrived. I've yet to get a phone call or email from them, even though they were both filled out on the official forced inductions downloaded form. Plus, I emailed all the info to their contact site. I've called twice, once 6 days ago (gent said everyone was gone, he'd contact me soon though. Never happened), then just now when it's their normal business hours and got voice mail.

Is this standard practice for shops?
Thanks,
Dave

They are notorious for having crappy customer service and lengthy lead times. They are however very good at what they do. Welcome to the Aftermarket automotive world.

They just emailed me. They said they indeed got it and they'll be tearing it down this week. They've been behind because of the holiday (Thanksgiving) and people taking time off.

They're not always quick to the draw, but they do know what they're doing like stated previously.

Jose frequents YB, he post semi active.

Weird, I've always had quick and easy interactions with Jose. He just refreshed my GT55 and had it turned around pretty quickly. I send everyone with turbo needs to him, FI is one of the best in the business IMO

I've got a lot of turbos built and rebuilt from them. Jose has always stayed in contact. Some times the wait time was long, but you know it's right when you get it back!

OK....so the question is:

Who else can custom build a turbo. Rebuild and repair turbos.

What other company can we go with. Because hell if I'm waiting that damn long for what I need. I was going to use them. I emailed them yesterday with questions and pricing.

What other company is good, or better...?
