If he is sending me a kit (which I hope he is not) I hope he does not expect to get the rest of the money until I get everything, including ac lines.

You know what, if the only inspiration for the twin turbo Vette kit was something they heard then these guys had no business even making one. Oh yeah I heard of a twin kit made by some shop called LINGENFELTER. The 10 "complete" kits ready to sell on the shelves aren't even complete and can't be sold, at least not to the Vette guys. Fbody guys get incomplete kits even though they paid upfront for them.


I called them on their lies in March but no one wanted to hear it. Now you're all calling them liars. So who's the bandwagoners here?

Not true at all. Check the previous tracking number in this thread. 1ZXA50860245533200 - it works. You'll notice that 1ZXA5086 is the shipper's ID prefix. His online account. My online account with UPS works the same way.

Try changing 1 digit in the posted "bad" tracking number. You'll get a different screen than if you enter the one that Bill posted. Hence, it is a legitimate tracking number (the checksum is correct), but it's definitely not in the system.

No need to discuss the originality of turbo placement on a F-Body or a Corvette. Does not matter and there are are only so many places to put stuff.

yeah, john is right. he had to place the new turbo for his car in his sandy vagina because no other cavern in the car had that kind of gaping space to utalize.

Hopefully I'll get my car back next week from Hi-Flo. I talked to Marko today and he says he has Bill working his rear end off getting kits shipped out and thats why he hasn't answered my phone calls in the last 3 days...

Who's egging on who here. I believe it was the customers that got tired of the BS and brought it out here. If I was a customer, and I'm glad I'm not. I'd be upset that you have your car in your own words "I had my kit installed first hand....So if you followed anything.. I was the first person to have the kit let alone running and dyno'd". I'm sure that makes everyone feel great.

Look through the past bs threads/posts about piece of crap venders. I don't know you from a hole in the ground, alas there was always people like you bandwagoning about how great said vendor was.

Your tired of bandwagoners and wisecracks from people that are not direct customers, don't read the thread. You ever think that some of these people have been burnt by past vendors? Then all of a sudden it's like, great here we go again! Oh well, you have the 1st kit right!

I'm sure it's makes people feel great that you were the first kit, are dyno'd and tuned. Especially the ones that have been lied and lied and lied to for almost a year. Meh, atleast your out enjoying your car. I guess it's ok by you to spend thousands of dollars and wait for eternity to get what you paid for. Believe it or not, you are defending Hi-Flow. Whether your helping the situation, I don't know.

From a bandwagoner standing on the sidelines I trully hope things work out. I've been burnt as well as a couple of my buddies and it's horrific for all involved. Especially in the internet world.

A great vendor now a days comes to mind. Look at all the plauges with Patriot Performance. All the bs they endured. But they stuck with the game and are now one of the top sponsors and have some of the greatest customer service in the game. Way to go Gunnar and PP! I really truley hope that Hi-Flow will come through this with lessons learned. That they also will raise to the top of the game with affordable turbos. Maybe Hi-flow will earn a and rub all the **** talking into peoples faces like PP.
YOu made your point to argue and argue.. thats fine... I never said everything was 100% perfect or on time..

Im in no way defending Hi-flo... You can argue all you want.. I believe that the customers should vent and this should be a thread of information... Not people like you who just are in here to instigate and made everything look worst than they already are..

Congrats on throwing your .02 in..
