That definately sucks! And I'm glad you're letting us guys know about them.. So we don't have to get the shaft.

Benji from Griffin tried to call me a few times today, I got stuck in a meeting. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel. Either way I'll have an intercooler by the end of next week, just waiting for one of my turbo guys to get back to me on a few questions.

If I go A/W, I'm getting mine from Chiseled Performance. I think Outlaw can attest to how good his stuff is.
ditto on that i ordered mine from chiseled and 2 1/2 weeks later it was knock-knock from UPS delivery guy.......

Suddenly things over there might be turning around. I've been told I have a package that I should get tomorrow!

I would've stayed away from them after they declared Chapter 11 last year.

Hope everything gets worked out for those needed parts and for Griffin. They've been around for awhile and always have (and still do) make a good product.

Precision Turbo is where we always got our custom intercoolers at FLP. The longest we EVER had to wait was 8 weeks.
