ok talked to the bobby over at vsr he called me some changers were made to the front crash bumper and a few other parts so the kit is final rdy

so after talking to bobby and getting a better understanding about what was going on with the kit i feel a lot better about were we stand with this kit

im not going to bash anyone or any shop i am just giving my exp.
most of my patients comes from the fact that my car makes ok power now and i have a lot things going on with my new job

so still hopeful in a few months i can post up some dyno numbers from a single turbod 370z and enjoy the car before the snow returns

Actually he spends a lot of his time doing volunteer work for special needs organizations. As for the rest of this thread and your backing for the supplier here. Simply put you're wrong. The OP has been patient, has been understanding, and has been nothing but a perfect customer. I wish my customers were like him. If they had a car with the finished product on display that means they have the schematics and engineering plans for the kit. Which means it's a matter of assembly and coating. Now albeit proper tig welding takes time. HOWEVER, if you as the supplier have given the customer multiple delivery dates, each time extending it out more and more, no matter if it's a $15 part or a $15,000 custom built engine, is bad business practices. If they truly wanted to have had this ready to go they could have the entire kit assembled in a single day and welded up, then a day to prep, powder coat, pressure test and QC. So no, 4 months is not acceptable under any situation. There are full blown frame off resto's done in less time. If it were me I would cancel my order due to terrible customer service. This is not a "one off" and actually the profit on the kit is likely more than the profit on the labor. You're talking about mandrel bent stainless with tig welding. And even if the turbo is a custom CNC job it's less than a day to do the housing. I would be willing to bet they have a minimum of 50% mark up on the supplies used to put the kit together.
You obviously either know someone who works there personally or you have a serious man crush on the shop. Either way, you sir are the perfect customer for a shop to take advantage of, you forget, he is the customer. This thread has been viewed several thousand times, now that means several hundred people have a bad impression of this company, and when our friends ask us for FI advice we would be less likely to advise using this company. I'd hate to see how long they take if you drop your car off for fab and install.

Sstroud and others. I initially posed a possibility for the delay. I also stated twice that we can only speculate because no one here knew the conversation between them. Cheap shots were taken as is often the case on the net and at some point one of these c-suckers got under my skin so I embraced the debate and attempted to conflate the argument (as to VSR I had a tune done there but don't know anyone there NOR do I speak for them. However as to business. I know of a few businessmen who are screwing their customers blind. Think concrete, construction and one is a renown lawyer) The customer was whining here as an outlet so everyone was backing him, now we have the other side and clarification. As to anything else smart or half assed I suggest you insert tab a into slot b and repeat until climax.

I dont think whining is a good choices of words. I am not at all doing that sir
Point of a forum is to share exp. Whining would infer that you could do something for me

I started out reading an awesome thread, which too quickly decended into two guys beating each other with verbal sticks.....after a couple of those posts, I just wanted to say, "stfu".......

Kind of ruins the fun, don't you think?

OP, hope the build works out, and I'm excited for you! Hope the numbers rock! We need more competition in the FI business for our $$$.

Almost there

Wow! That's impressive, might look your way down the road if I went turbo.

That kit on the car yet?

^thissss

Workin on it. :shakes head: car is on its way to vsr motorsports

Nice congrats bro!I was going to go this route before BP came out with the second wave of kits, but I would have to pay to much to have the car shipped. Then the MHI kit came out I and went that route.

This kit is amazing. I went wayyyy safe with he tune and I made 475 after 9 pulls and it was there and out within 4 days. I have nothing bad to say about this company and the performance speaks for itself. I am very glad I went single turbo over twin due to te amazing power band. You will enjoy the kit believe me!

How much boost if you don't mind me asking?

8 pounds. They wanted to get me to 550 but I'm all about reliability. It was also like 90 degrees out.
