They'll lose their "sponsorship" spot and basically be banned I'm sure. They'll still be in business, but who knows for how long. I hope this all gets cleared up, hate to see people have to wait forever after being out thousands.

I can tell you this... There are no outstanding orders for Intercoolers, radiators, heat exchangers or tanks with OFI... The last order was delivered around the 1st of August.

How do you know that? What's your source?

A buddy talked to him last week and he told him still waiting for rad and intercooler.

My source is the fabrication shop that makes the aluminum parts. There have been no new order requests placed with the fab shop since the last delivery date in August and that’s all I'm saying.

Just talked to Joel about getting my turbo kit on 9/26 as he promised 3-weeks ago.

Joel told me it's another week to get the rad/intercooler. I discussed with him trying with another place for the rad/IC and he said that's what he will propably do.

Not sure what's going on with OFI but this is hurting everyone.

Why bother? They are still getting their sponsor $$'s so what do they care? It's pretty obvious that they don't give a ****. now if they were owed money then the guy would have been gone long ago! Keeping him around isn't helping anyone get their parts any faster. This site is very money driven.

I dont know if anyone noticed but this site is extremely commercialized.With this OFI bad business going on really shows how ls1tech dont care who their sponsors are....as long as they get a check who cares what the company does to the members. My suggestion is to boycott all LS1tech sponsors.

That's a little harsh. What about the sponsor's that actually do a great job and provide good reliable parts and support. There's no reason to punish everyone because of one shitty sponsor.

they do care, and are able to put pressure on OFI, i think OFI is on probation, they take complaints seriously, so do make assumptions that are not true.

Just noticed this on OFI's Home page:

"Currently, Im not taking anymore orders at this time. Thanks OFI."

Hope things get settled quickly for current OFI's customers.

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.

My question is how come Joel hasn't posted as to what is taking so long or why he is giving us the runaround? I know he gets a post reminder just like everyone else that posts in this link? I thought it was pretty sad that he would not answer any of my phone calls or emails but when I called him from a different phone#, he picked right up and told me that my parts and money would be here on Friday the 26th? No parts or mail showed up

What's that gonna serve.

Why don't OFI post a genuine timeline for finishing the kit for each customer? Orders that can't be fullfilled can be refunded right away.

Is the source for the rad/ic that Joel is waiting for, the only place in the country to get those parts?

Common sense says order these parts 1st day full payment is made. Is it going to take 5 months to get these!!!

Do you know what exactly is the problem with pending orders specially those more than 4 months. I am on 5 months, now.
