Buy the way, every pre-order sale that I have seen has been a disaster. Folks plopping down big money and they get nothing. I would never ever do a pre-order kit that nobody is running. GTM comes to mind and also the AAM intake are such fiasco's that many folks had issues with.
I understand your concern, however, I have experience with their products in the past and have not had any issues. Further, I've already contacted my bank to ensure that I am covered in the event that the company does not deliver on their product. That is, Chase will protect the purchase up to 118 days from the day the product is due to be delivered (not the purchase date).

So what happens when the kit is not delivered within the 118 days of the promised delivery date?

So, let's assume two things:

1. the 'expected' delivery date from DOC is 9/1/19
2. DOC is unable to fulfill the order for X reason

Do you really think I am going to just sit back and wait an additional 118 days for them to fulfill the order? No, I will not. If 9/1 rolls around and there is no kit and no updated delivery date I will request a refund and contact my bank to inform them of what is going on.

Granted, I'm not sure what this has to do with my request for a turbo recommendation.

I will tell you why, because we have seen many folks taken advantage of and lose 7-8k. If you pay for the kit and the seller has no money to give back because they spent it all or went bankrupt, your bank will not be able to get your money back. In the end, you will be refunded nothing. There was a big stink about it with GTM on here years back. Many folks lost everything and got nothing.

Again, I understand your concern and appreciate you bringing this up to help out the community. I've done what I can to mitigate the risk, but this scenario could happen with any vendor currently producing products for our platform. I trust that Chase would be able to dispute the charge and refund my credit account should the worst happen.

Now, do you have a recommendation as to which size turbo would be optimal?
