Default Possible O.F.I. Turbo setup?????

I currently own a Procharged LS2 Camaro and just brought a 2001 LS1 I want to turbo charge. Who has done business with this company?? How is their customer service?? How is the quality of work??? How are they in keeping with promised delivery dates?? With my ATI kit I just had to wait for shipping, but as I understand it, Turbo kits have to be made to order. All comments are appreciated. It's a lot of money to put out to have any B.S whatsoever.

Thanks,

Lafngas

If you don't have a lot of patience but have the budget to spare I'd say go with the either T.T.I. or Speed Inc., their kits are tried and proven. I'm not saying that others are no good, it's just that they are smaller companies/shops with fewer manpower which will require a lot of your patience. Using the "SEARCH" button should provide you w/ lots of info, too! Good Luck!!

My roommate told me about a post from Sunday that vanished into thin air. It did not paint a good picture for OFI. I guess some has some strong pull over free speech. To bad we were shielded from the truth!!!!!!

I have an OFI kit. Although I haven't had a chance to install it (motor issues), the quality appears to be much better than the last turbo kit I owned and the customer service (from my experience) was above average. Hopefully the Mustang project will be done soon and we can get the OFI kit installed.

If you want a turbo kit, get the TTi race kit, but you lose the a/c and have the DP below the K member. That is the ONLY "kit" I would buy so far. APS is a nice kit but a bit out on production.

Looks like I'm leaning towards another ATI kit --- F1 this time. I don't think I'll be able to tolerate the wait for a Turbo kit (seen to many other people pull out their hair). Thanks for the replies and PM's. I'm still interested in your opinions as my decision its not yet written in stone.

By the way what was said in the other thread that was so bad?

i deleted the thread because it turned into a flamefest. I wanted to express some aggravation on the wait for my hot parts and also see some results from folks who HAD received their kit, I should recieve my hot parts around wed-3/28 and will post what i see good or bad as well as results for fitment, performance, etc.
