Default Ohio Forced Induction

Does anyone have any experience dealing with Ohio Forced Induction(OFI)? Any experiences or testimonials using their turbo systems for LS1s or LT1s?

Here is a link to their website. Opinions?
http://www.ohioboost.com/

They're a sponsor here, but have no policies or customer testimonials on their website. The link for dyno graphs is too small to read, too. (sorry, no time for a search) Thanks!

Sure, Joel(owner) built my setup in sig. Twin turbo, motor,fuel sytem,clutch,tune, etc. He's a master fabricator and cranks out some amazing stuff. I've street driven my setup for a year and a half now with NO issues. I'd highly recommend going with him on a FI setup. One thing you'll have to learn is that you have to have some patients in getting a complete FI setup. I'm considering selling my whole setup and having him build another more radical setup soon.

93formto98T/A-Do you have any of your dyno sheets that you could post or pm to me? What are the build specifics of your turbo setup?

He said we will take care of it......I ordered new wires today and I dont think I should have but he didnt offer. So that was 70 bucks I shouldnt be spending. If they do it again, something will be done to fix it or there will be things done to make it get fixed.
Ill see if i can get a pick up real fast.

here we go, i know some of you are going to say a sleeve needs to be on it, but these things are on the header. I have to use zips and put it around a loop on the coilpack to keep it from touching.

I'm running truck coils with LS1 stock length wires. They are a little tight, but it keeps them off the headers. My car is not on the road yet, so time will tell.

I agree, just to some slight re-location of the coil-packs.
