wow... this is crazy... Im glad i will never have to deal with this stuff and OFI.. Ive seen many guys on here be very successful with Bob and EPP, and many other Procharger/Vortech suppliers.. this whole situation doesnt make sense with OFI Turbo kits..

Best of luck to you guys..2000 bucks went bye bye to GMR speed for my twin turbo kit year or so ago. When you are talking big money there is think more likelihood for the money to get spent or shops to get over their head,owners to live high on the hog for awhile.. or whatever...at least it seems that way.
I was very leary when had to give APS a couple thousand dollar deposit. But they came thru thank goodness would have packed in this modding hobby if had lost another 2k.
At the worst you should be getting some of the parts right now..the turbo..blow off,
then maybe have to wait for some of the hot and cold parts possibly intercooler. Are these intecoolers some custom piece made to fit the f bodies like the aps ones?
Otherwise can't see why it would take so long to get intercooler either. You don't have to ceramic coat intercoolers.
Hate to say it but usually there is nothing you can do...legally. Companies usually just go bye bye and thats that.No one left to go after. And usually same guys show up again and do it all over again. Now sometimes these guys have the best intentions.

Thanks, we have been in business since '02 with heavy financial backing from day one. If you don't start a business with x amount of money, it is very easy to get upside down. Bob

You haven't been checking other forums here regarding sponsors or you'd know Admin and IB have contacted OFI to get orders and refunds sorted in a particular time frame or lose his sponsorship here. Other sponsors have been dropped for either poor communication with members or poor quality products. That does go to show IB, Admin and all staff are far more concerned with sponsor to member relations than a check deposited.
If you want a boycott of sponsors here then be prepared to pay more without any help if the order gets messed up.

I just confirmed, as mentioned by StingrayCrazy and crazysquid , that there are no pending orders for rad/ic for OFI.
I don't know where OFI is getting with our money.
We made full payments and we should get what we paid for, regardless of any other financial excuses. 
Are we waiting for another GMR speed close down!!!
Just came to know Joel was working with GMR speed before their close down. Last edited by bluecamaroz28; 10-01-2008 at 07:04 AM.

It doesnt Seem like Joel is closing down, as firehawk123 said he is working on kits, seems like Joel made the mistake of taking too many orders then he could timely deliver.
if we was dishonest, he would have ran by now which is not the case.

I appreciate what ls1tech is trying to do for us and I'm not saying you guys are dishonest.
I am telling what I feel could happen if Joel dosn't act like a man and finish those kits or give us our money back, period.

What I don't understand is if he's so busy and has all these kits backed up....who is getting these finished kits? I have seen very few reports on here of anyone actually getting a kit. Even if he's only making one full kit a week. They have to be going somewhere.
