Default Problem getting turbos/turbo parts...

Hi guys... It's me again, with ANOTHER problem... I paid for a megasonic BOV on the 2nd to forcedinductions.com, he stated he'd ship it tomorrow... i have yet to see it, and know it doesn't take that long for a small item to get here! 2nd, I decide to go through another company, forcedinductionracing.com and purchased my master power T70 T4 .68AR turbo head unit on the 1st, and just now got an invoice/receipt stating it will be shipped 2-3 days from receiving this invoice/receipt... Does it really take 2 weeks for them to get a comfirmation I paid? Any one have any other ideas? I've about had it with spending big bucks on parts that never show, or show up weeks and weeks later!!!

I hate to say it, but this seems to be a more common thing.

I got lucky and bought all my stuff used, even though it was all new.

I got my turbo, WG, and BOV all from board members and havent had a single problem. No wait time since the people already had the items at their house.

there two sides to that though, alot of board members are shady

It's ridiculous, what if I had clients waiting for their units in order to complete the job?! I need the parts here to design my ***-mount kit for my TA!

I had the same deal with him on a MP turbo, but mine to 3 months to get See my post in 69vetts post. Don't think I'll be buying any thing from them any more. Jose seem like a good guy, but he need to work on his business practices.

I FINALLY got my Blow out valve from good ol Jose... Still have yet to hear anything back on the T70. Forceinductionracing.com is the one lagging *** this time. I just bought an entire mess of stuff including my K&N I'm going to use, the 42# injectors, the turbosmart progate, the oil inlet and outlet, the mocal pump, the racetronix pump, and the silicone couplers with t-bolt clamps, and all of them responded with tracking numbers, unlike our 2 problematic "friends"! I ordered the T70 3 weeks ago, still have yet to hear anything back, including sending them 3 emails as they ask to do on their website, and still nothing. I think I'm gonna call their order line tomorrow and see if I can get the tracking #, if not, I'll cancel... >=(

glad you got something finally..seems like it took complaining for me and you to finally get our parts ordered and shipped. Good luck on the turbo and if you end up canceling, let me know and i will forward you some info on who to call at precision.

Sweet, thanks a bunch... Funny thing I just noticed is that the BOV was shipped 2nd day. So it took THAT long to "process" the order... sounds like dragging feet to me. I think I'm gonna give the boys at forceinductionracing.com a call and see wtf is going on with my T70.
