I sent payment for a throttle body along with core charge via pay pal Mar.10 and have heard nothing. I have sent several e-mails with no response...Is this normal from this guy?

 

At least of late, it seems, he says he is very busy. I have not doubt that my top quality product will show up soon too- I sent payment and core charge Mar 5th myself. I was promised it shipped yesterday. He can be unresponsive at time. My 2cents to him would be that no matter how busy he is, set aside 15 minutes a day to return PM and email, even if things are going to be late... Communication!

 

I finally heard from him today......says he was unsure about who I was???and would check on it...anyway thanx for feed back

 

Scott is very busy so his turn around time isnt as good as he would like it to be. But you must make sure everytime you contact him you give him as much personal info as possible he gets a ton of PM and emails. He does great work. I really like my ported/powdercoated/chromed TB I bought from him.

 

He took a little longer than I expected, but the end product was well worth the wait. I would rather wait and have him do a nice job instead of rush and get a sub-par product. I ordered a fully polished TB. The thing is beautiful and operates flawlessly.

 

I want to appolgize to everyone that is waiting patiently.

Buck in your case, I really couldn't figure out who you were. When you placed your order you didn't specify the year and as it turned out the TB was done I just couldn't assemble it with the correct shaft and send it on it's way.

Normally turnaround time is fast, but I've had so many orders over the last 3 months, and cores aren't being returned timely, that I'm getting held up some. Not only that, but now that we're having the shafts chrome dipped, it takes a few days to get the shafts done as well. Some cases it has taken up to a week and there isn't a whole lot I can do about that. And if it's a fully polished exterior TB, obviously that's labor intensive and will take some additional time. I'm doing everything in my power to find more cores and find new ways to speed up production without affecting the quality of the product. I can assure everyone that the end product that leaves my shop is A1 and is well worth the wait.

When I get many orders at a time, I have to do big production runs at the same time, it's the only way to stay efficient and it keeps the quality of the product up and improves consistency. Meaning orders usually within a week of each other will all get done at the same time. 15-20 is a normal production run lately. Meaning some people will wait up to 5 days longer than others and some may wait only a day or two, just depends on my schedule.

As some of you also may know, I've been spending a lot of time talking to grand jury, going to court, etc. Had some really unfortunate family issues regarding fraud and I'm still trying to cover all the loose ends and limit the damage. It's not fun if you've ever been there before.

thx for all the support!

Thanks for the reply Scott..I can't wait to get my Throttle Body..When you get time i want to have my calipers polished also..So let me know how that works, Exchange basis or do I send mine?

 

Ok Scott I understand you are busy..you didnot know the year of the car.. I e-mailed you right away..If its ready I would like to have it now..I have an appointment for a cam swap and tune on the 10th of this month I REALLY NEED THIS PART!!I have every intent to box up and ship you my stock throttle body the day it comes in!!!!!!

 

Buck,

Your TB was shipped. Not sure if you got my email/PM.

Scott

 

Just received my TB today. Had Scott do the full treatment on it and went with a polished finish. Let me tell you the workmanship is incredible. Bolted the TB up and the car fired up immediately, Actually feel a "seat of the pants" difference and my car has PP5.3 heads, cam, LS6 intake and Kooks stainless. Besides the performance increase, the piece itself is a work of art. It practically glows. Had Scott do a set of valve covers for me as well so I was aware of the quality of his work.
Ya, it might take a couple of weeks to get your TB back but that's because craftsmanship takes time and Scott is indeed a craftsman.

 

ive been waiting for my core charge refund for over a month??? what the heck?

 

I sent my Throttle Body March 8th, I hope it's on the way, I need to get my car finished

Dan

 

The check for the core refund was sent several days ago.

Dan your TB is done and will be shipped tomorrow.

Scott

 

Awesome, Thanks

My ported TB arrived yesterday. I'm very pleased with the quailty and attention to detail. The annodized throttle shaft looks great. The TB was better quailty than I expected and well worth the wait.

Friend of mine saw it right after I pulled it out of the box wanted to know where I got it from and what it cost. It's nicer than the LPE TB the T/A has, I might have to get a red Jantzer TB for the T/A.

Now I'm tempted to get valve covers that match the TB for the RS.
