There's a bunch of us that are owed parts or money or both. I paid for my kit over a year ago and I'm still waiting on refunds.

I've been reading up on all the posts that refer to OFI. This is pretty unsat. This guy has all day and night to fab this stuff up. If at any point he felt too consumed with all his orders, I'm sure everyone would've respected his chioce to halt orders until he caught up. I wish everyone luck on either getting your parts, or your refunds.

why is this company still a sponsor on this site if all he does is rip people off and not give them their products? I think LS1 tech should show some respect to the members and the other sponsors on here that do a excellent job of customer service, and get rid of Ohio Forced Induction.

He already did that...I guess it didn't help?

I don't understand why people that are not getting what they paid for just go and sue these companies. Its too easy. You pay and the vendor delivers. I don't see vendors shipping out parts without the customers payment. Take their asses to small claims court. Put thier asses on Judge Mathis. That will get them some exposure.

Trust me when I say that Tech has noted OFI's business dealings. We cannot stop people from ordering from him, which they continue to do so to this day. We have a sticky at the top of the page(FI forum) and one bit of advice is to RESEARCH the company before you plunk down a hefty amount of cash on a turbo kit.

A quick search on here would clearly state that when you order an OFI kit you will get a top notch kit, but be prepared to wait a long long time for it. You are responsible for how you spend your money, not LS1tech. Do your research kids, this is nothing new in the turbo world.

Like I said, great kits but the wait times are totally unacceptable.

this was sent to me by a member on this board i want every one to see it


Hi there,

Did you get any promise from Joel of when he is going to get your parts finished?

Did you order coating?

Are you in MD or NJ? How far from OFI?

A friend visited him last week and told me he found him not working on any kit. Just working on a local customer's car. He didn't see any tubes being welding or fixed in jigs to be welded, nor any turbo, BOV or WG for customers who ordered turbo kits.

He said he talked to him about the kits everyone is waiting for and he mentioned that he might go a bank loan to be able to get parts needed to build the kits.

Again I have donr nothing with the money. Jassmin did stop by and I was working on the twin turbo mustang at that time when he stopped by. I showed him all the jigs and the piping for some of the kits. Im still getting all the stuff to finish the 3 that I owe. As per the aggrement I have 3 weeks to get everybodys stuff to them, which I will. Call me if you have anymore questions.
