Yeah, I just found the thread that Ken met up w/you in a week or so ago: https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/308030-new-ptk-turbo-kit-t-76gts-sale.html

Sweet. Since I got the kit from Ken, who got it from you, who got it from PTK, I wonder where I stand warranty-wise... It all looks complete, and obviously I wouldn't hound them if a band clamp or something missing, but the hot-parts supposedly have a lifetime warranty...

I got it from PTK. It was the second kit made. Everything was there when I got it and PTK checked it again when they shipped it to Ken. So that should be cool. Yep there's a lifetime warranty on all hotparts so there shouldn't be any problems there. They're really good to deal with, Dalton helped me out a lot!!

Just make sure you send some good number back to PTK(I think they're still waiting for some real big LS1 numbers).

Later,
Dave

Close enough that I dare not speak it aloud... The member and engine would have been in yesterday save for a flange gasket and a single v clamp... Dalton was good enough to overnight it yesterday via DHL, so that it could go back in today. However, the God of Turbo Delay stepped in to slow progress, and DHL dropped the ball...

Good luck. Looking good. We need VIDEOS when the car gets running!!!!!!!!!!

These are a little older than the pics posted above. The front clip is off and the IC is mounted up. They took more pics the last 3 days, but the boss posts the stuff and he is out of town until Monday
