Probably 100% accurate, but I'd have to agree with ddnspider...it's literally been 6 months since they posted their latest, greatest, turbo offerings, and are already gone? And you need not be a sponsor, to reply to people who's money you took...
True, I have no dog in the fight but they do appear to be a legitimate business and are responding to communication. If someone wants to cancel their order instead of waiting for the product, I'm sure they can do that. I didn't really get the hype on this product anyways, the turbo placement isn't that great at all.

Me neither. Just sounds all too familiar...
Wonder why the video from the 1st post, is now "Private"?

Weird that any business blocks their own videos from being watched by potential customers....

He used all of his deposits received for his house payment. LOL> Hopefully he'll get his chit together and either give refunds or turbo manifolds.

LOL, Hey now I had an APS kit at one point. APS did a much better job than UPP, On3, and some others these days.

Having a good product is mutually exclusive with whether or not they gave everyone what they ordered at the time

Heard from Mr. Lopez

Good Morning David,
We sent corrections back to the manufacturer on the last sample. I'm told they are having difficulty keeping the casting mold in place to make sure everything is aligned correctly. I expect they will not be complete before December, is my guess.

Thank you,

Can he show you a copy of that communication? Seems sketchy.

Last email with them , it was the same as all the times before. Some prototypes were made but not quite the quality they wanted. I'll email them again to see if anything has changed.

Hi David,
I have not been updated prior to our previous conversation. I will reach out to our engineering team for a follow up and relay the message.

Thank you,
Leroy Lopez"

Not sure if you're asking me, but if you are, they still have my deposit.

I am. Last year I had a home built Twin, this year a single VS S480 clone so I'm not in any hurry. I know there's no way these will fit on my Fbody but I might find something else like a 944 Porsche or an RX7 or maybe even a 93 Notch that *could* allow the use of these.
