Default Hi Flo Update: The day is near!!!!

We just recieved confirmation that the remaining items of our now well known overdelayed, scrutinzed, criticised, chastized, cursed but still loved turbosystems are on their way to our shop. It will take about a week or so to get here. Here is the plan, as I have informed our customers. Step one will be test fitting every single kit that has been pre ordered in order to assure it fits perfectly. After we verify this, they will all go out to get coated. Once that is finished and they arrive back here at the shop, they will then be sorted, boxed and subsequently shipped out. They will be test fitted in the order that the initial orders were placed. The first person who ordered will have the first kit out the door. Upon recieving confirmation that our order has shipped we have begun clearing out the shop and started having long term project cars towed to our storage facility. Don't worry Angelo and Greg Kubik...you guys are short term!!! We need to make as much room as possible as we are turning into a turbosystem fitment/assembly plant overnight. I am dedicating every employee I have to the test fitment of each system and subsequent final assembly and packaging for delivery. We are excited to hear the good news and I'm sure our customers are as well. When I get back from Texas from the Supra vs. Viper shootout we should have in our possesion what we have all anticipated for so long. I know I lost my cool a little in the other thread as I was being falsly accused of certain things, but I'm over it. As soon as all the cars are out of the work areas, I will send a truck and forklift over to our storage facility to load up the crates of headers and intercoolers and have them promptly dropped off over here at the shop. At the same time we should have the correct downpipes and crossover pipes with correct flanges on them here as well. I will snap pictures for anyone who wants to see and everyone is more than welcome to stop by the shop and give us a hand!!!!! I am very glad to make this announcement and I can finally see the day when I will finally have some control in this godforsaken situation, THANK YOU GOD!!!!!

lol, nice post....Should buy you about a week until someone flips out....anyway, I was wondering if you had any pics of your system underneath the car.

I already have this one

but I was wondering if there was anything with the down pipe?
Also how far back does your kit extend to? Does the 4" DP shrink to a 3" when it gets under the car, or is this all exhaust work that needs to get done once the system is installed?

ok cool, thought maybe you had one from before
What about the DP, does it turn into a 3" or does it just stop somewhere around the heat shield under the passenger seat. Not really that important of a Q, kinda just wondering if i'll be connecting it to my existing I-pipe or take it to a shop.

Thanks

Oh yeah, whenever you get back, send me a PM on a price for your kit mated to a GT42-76. I would guess the 4"DP and bigger IC is a must.

Upgraded IC mounts in the same location right?

Sorry bout the million questions

So after these kits are out, do you still plan on jackin up the prices or will they stay the same? Also will the turnaround time be on the next orders?

I say give the man his time that he's said it would take...After that then proceed with the bashing...I've seen how things have just went wrong and no one could have imagined that they would...Honestly what is a week or two going to hurt when they've been delayed 4 or 5 months...I'm not taking anyone's side...I want to see the results myself...I hope everyone gets what they are wanting...The initial 20 (awesome horsepower and a complete package), Hi-Flo (respect and recognition for an awesome kit), and potential buyers (pics, dyno #s, and to know how a potential kit will deliver)...

I'm sure the results will come... all the bitchers and whiners probably have no idea what pressure they're under trying to get these things out when they've been at the mercy of someone else...
