I would like you to PM me the name of the business.

I am about to drop a significant amount of money for some turbo gear. I would like to
know that I won't be dealing with the same business that you mentioned.

This kind of issue happend to me on another board and the Board admins threatened me
when I posted all the particulars of the sponsor. It's too bad that the admins had to do
that, it ended up costing about a dozen people a really big headache and big bucks.

I spoke to Jose about this already. First and Foremost, Jose does not have any ties to PTS/PTK. He just knows the owners very well, and use to help them with their turbo kits when the LS1 kit first got started. Now we do not deal with them but VERY little.

As for the turbo, chargeback is your only hope. Your not the only one I'm sure. Which unit did you buy??

It was a 67mm, I didn't get any particulars because the shop installing it handled it. They got the size suggestion and placed the order. I gave them cash they paid PTK. I don't think any chargeback can be done because of the time since the charge. Looks like I'm screwed then. Even if I make a trip to Texas to speak with someone in person I doubt it would get me anything more than blank stares. Can't hurt to try tho.

It would be messy, and ruin your relationship with the shop, but this would seem to be their financial responsibility. Small claims court?

Or take the same avenue vs. PTK. Perhaps a certified mail letter (with return receipt) documenting your intent to seek damages would provoke at least a response?

I was gonna order this kit before that shop became a dealer and they have been nothing but good to me so Im not going to pursue anything like that. I was going to make a trip to Texas this friday but if they have closed up shop there is no point. Their website says they should have a new installation center finalized around march 1st. Maybe if I lived in Texas i wouldn't have gotten the bone.
