Forged Performance - My Story

So to try and get some positive things here, has there been a good install of the GTM TT posted on here by a customer who bought one and had it installed at a shop other than GTMs?

From what i read, 1 or 2 have gotten there kits done by GTM...they were very pleased with the work. 1 guy bought the kit and installed it himself, the kit came well packed and he was pleased. And 2 people went to Forged and got screwed over.

And how would trying to find some good installs be trying to rattle some cages? I was trying to turn the thread around. R U just posting to rattle some cages?

What bugs me the most about some of these replies is.....many are just focusing on the bashed in parts......and saying where is the quality control? Maybe this is because the pictures stand out and they mainly show the damaged parts and such.

There is SO MUCH MORE to the story....I know it is long, but I'm beginning to wonder if some of these posters are just glossing over the pictures instead of reading it. What about all the issues I brought up before ever picking up my car? What about the issues I brought up while I was there? On the drive home? Bad mechanic(s) or not, why was I constantly told "That is normal"? Those words certainly didn't come from the mechanics. What about the wrong turbos or not even hooking up the Knock Amp? What about not fully hooking up the EVC? What about the overcharging on the Down Pipes and Wastegates? I could keep going and going......

All I ask is that before bashing others, whether it is myself or GTM, please make sure you take the time to read the whole story.

I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" to everyone out there that has sent me positive replies and PMs. I simply don't have the time to reply to everyone of them individually....not to mention this is on two other forums as well. This has been a crazy long road, and at times has consumed me.....ask my wife or my boss

Hopefully the end is in sight and I will finally have a TT G37 before my brand new car is 2 or 3 model years old

To the haters....oh well....what can you do...I'm not on here looking for sympathy and I have thick skin

Dpjones, keep fighting the fight man! For all the little people out there! I read through your whole story and I would not be able to keep my temper, or be as patient as you have been. Props to your thick skin and hopefully you get all your money back and then some for your grief. Good luck!

Stay strong man, hopefully everything works out for you. Usually when stuff like this happens the owners still have to shell out money even though he is the one that got screwed. People can say whatever they want I would have done the same thing, as a matter of fact i would go to every carforums that deals with FP and post my story. Either way what done is done goodluck with everything.
