He talked to them before yesterday. According to John they sent out three kits yesterday and I was not one of them. Bill told me today mine will be going out before they will have a chance to charge my cc back. He is making sure there will be no trips needed to the hardware store for me or anyone. Every ****** nut and bolt biyatch. Sounds too good to be true huh?

Maybe I can leave the 50 BMG in the closet next week with the depleted uranium core bullets? Too bad I was kind of looking forward to renting the RV and loading the FAL with 800 rds of match grade argentinian NATO 308 ammo I have and checking the zero of the LAR GRIZZLY 50 BMG at 1500 meters shucks! Oh and don't forget the keg in the back of some samuel adams ale to keep my bros happy for the long haul to Ill from Ca.

p.s. Don't worry Bill I won't take you out just everyone else.J/K

You know what they say "If it sounds too good to be true..." and so far their track record is pretty bad. I wish you the best, but dont pack up your ammo yet

Uh, it takes maybe 3 minutes to charge your card back, 6 if you're illiterate. So he must be planning on sending your kit out REALLY fast!

Honestly, if Marko or Bill have not given you remaining guys any sort of real timeline, you are probably gonna be waiting all summer. I always, like many folks, thought Marko had his act together and was a professional person since he involved in some sort of trucking company.

But the reality is that he has not be directly getting back to folks for a while, and Bill really doesn't have the power to make firm commitments (at that is how it looks).

So I'd be disputing the charges and doing everything possible to get a refund because at the end of the day, you could end up waiting for a bunch more months.

I've tried not to get involved, simply because we have over a 100 advertisers, but if these guys are not getting back to you guys then there is no reason to assume that the kits will be shipped in a timely fashion, and those guys did not give y'all any good or detailed updates for an entire week, so this stuff could drag out a long time.

In future when we get just like three complaints about a turbo shop, it's going to take a lot of direct action by that shop to not have me remove them from the site. It's just too much crap to deal with.

Marko, I am very disappointed with how you guys have dropped the ball and don't take direct action by posting updates. You've repeatedly have the opportunity to redeem yourself, but you've not stepped up and repaired the lack of communication.

ADMIN
My personal opinion is this, there should be some type of standard applied before a company is being allowed to be a ls1tech sponsor. By being a sponsor us members/consumers are assuming that this is a reputable shop and that ls1tech supports and backs this company therefore they are trustworthy, reputable, ESTABLISHED and have good customer service. Its too easy to ante up a few hundred bucks here a month and become an official sponsor of this site. So many companies I've seen come and go with some awesome kind of deal and then they fall cause they can't keep up with the demand and end up stealing people's money..

I think its good that you do get involved John if you didnt people would being getting screwed over left and right.



If a turbo kit manufacture for our cars comes into business they should have 50-100 kits or more ready to go before they start taking deposits. That's just my 2 cents.


The only kit that I know will probably be worth it is the speed inc twin turbo kit which I am considering possibly.

Or if you're unlucky... like Mike here... and have a credit card company that drags tail as well... Could take a little longer.

And Marko's had his white Supra for sale for a while now. I recall seeing it on ebay a long time ago... Heck, if someone offered more than $5k for a certain pewter Formula, it'd probably be sold too.
