Not to alarm anyone, but if this drags out to 60+ days I recommend everyone ask for a refund. I highly doubt Joel does anything related to Hi-Flo's fiasco, he just doesn't seem to be a dick the way they were.

Only reason I say this is that we as the customer's need to set a standard for turbo kits, if you can't deliver a kit within 60 days of our payment, we are canceling. This goes for all turbo companies.

As far as the OFI kit, it does look awesome and I can't wait to see cars running around with them. Right now it is the kit I am most interested in, I love the look of the A2W IC

Ordered mine 2 weeks ago. Joel said it should be ready in 4 weeks. I guess if it runs too far over that I would be concerned also. Joel seems like a really standup guy though and I think he will come through.

Guys he is doing his best, it is taking time, but at least he is not rushing and making sure everything is good to go. If you just PM him and ask for an update, he is good about it and will give you an update. I believe that he is doing all of the kits ordered late Sep and October at the same time whether it is a GTO kit or LS1 Kit. Im not trying to make excuses for him but I know he is doing all he can and believe me you guys, he will come through and you will not be disappointed. Would you rather him rush it and do a half *** job? Personally I want it done right. I know I may have a little more patience than you guys as I am in Iraq right now so I cant drive my car anyway, but you have waited this long, just a bit more and there will be tons of us smoking tires with his kits. I am really impressed with his kits that have come out so far. I cannot speak for everyone, but I believe he has alot of kits going out later this week or early next week.

I was one of the lucky Hi Flo customers that got out in time. Has everybody paid up front? I thought Nine Ball and Pro Stock John both said that Joel had to have inventory before he was allowed to take deposits! Set a date, if you are still getting excuses, cancel.

Considering Joel is the only gentleman working at OFI for the time being, its great that he can even produce a kit in 60 days.

Good work Joel!!

hey guys, im a Hi-Flo guy, i know alittle thing about waiting for a turbo kit, as long as u keep constant contact ull be ok, the thing that went wrong with us hi-flo guys is that we would go weeks without talking to them and they would just drift off and not do anything. plus they OFI seems like a good company, and even ive gotten my stuff so ull all be fine!

You also have to think also that joel is not a one stop shop. He makes the design and welds everything. Then it has to get sent to get coated or polished, and if there backed up then he is screwed. I am not sure about the inventory but that would put a hurt on time. I talk to Joel once a week and push the issue as well let him know what everyones veiws are. I am pretty sure there are people local have them go check him out.

I am on week 4 as of today. He says some should go out this week so I hope he is right.
