With all the drama in the turbo kit world, i got a procharger. Like they said it shows up in like a week. Get a D1SC kit, or hell upgrade to a F1C? for about 600 bux i beleive and make some really nice power! Gice bob at EPP a call and see what he can do for you. You can get some amazing prices from him!

Took me a long time to get boosted. 2 years of CAS and INCON bullship.
Finally got an Incon kit and 8lbs of boost and been going strong for 2 years without a problem.
Don’t cut corners to save time, It will all be worth it in the end, you wont be able to get the smile off your face for twice as long as you had to wait!

It seems there's a wait on all single turbo kits that keep AC and use tubular manifolds... Hi Flo/PTK.
Buy from where they don't bullshit you... That's the hard part. I, for ONE, was not bullshitted...
I am speaking for myself here, of course. Regarding my fit and finish, drives like stock, AC on in HOT Miami traffic... stock radiator and positioning, loudmouth catback hooked on sounding nice on 8 psi, and a T76 going on soon with none of this changing.

If you're trying to get a "kit" quickly, you're involved with the wrong power adder. Try nitrous or a blower. Turbo kits usually aren't a pre-made thing unlike supercharger setups.

My PTK has three main problems:
1. Alternator relocation. The current setup does not align the alt pulley perfectly and uses a tensioner that pushes the belt onto itself. It requires a shop that can either massage and refit or fab a new bracket. Quite a few customers have had this problem.
2. Overheating. The fans sent with my kit were not capable of pushing enough air through the AC condenser to cool the radiator when the car was in (warm weather) slow traffic or stopped. Also not enough room behind the radiator to mount a puller. Ongoing problem.
3. Frying spark plug wires. Manifolds are SO hot, and my wires (even with wraps) wouldn't lay far enough away to prevent roasting. Solved by using solid extenders.
PTK delivered relatively on time. Support has been OK. But the kit itself has required an enormous amount of labor and time by my installer.
If you've spent all this time waiting, I'd suck it up and stay the course with Hi Flow.

Wow....... i sit back and watch people complain about..... its been 3 months.... its been 4 months..... its been 6 months..... my car has been down a yr.....
Its takes time people..... alot of the Turbo Kit Companys are at the Mercy of the suppliers..... i know.... we waited 10 weeks for just my Turbo to arrive from Precision.
Yes the wait is unbearable sometimes...... i know..... its been 16 months for me.... yes months not weeks....
Yes i know its alot of $$ but you could of paid more for a Custom kit and still had to wait just as long. Waiting is part of the Turbo Kit game.
Anybody ever hear the saying ""Good things come to those who wait""????
Ok my Rant is done......

That would be all them.
They way you posted made it sound like im defending them. I am not one bit. I am staying out of this. I was just stating the whole Patience thing... that is all........
