GTM Performance Engineering: MHI Twin Turbo Official Release

SS_Firehawk

Being gone made it a forced wait. But I'll say when I got home and had to wait one more month, my patience was wearing. Having said that, now that I have her back and see the whole finished product, it was worth every dollar, every hour, and every late email response. I seen so many nodded cars lose what made them great from half assing installs, buying $hitty parts, not researching, and just plain going too far. In the few weeks I had mine, pulleys don't squeal (one did for a few days and went away), starts instantly, not rattles, no power spikes or dips, no funny sounds, the car is doing exactly what it's supposed to do; drive like a Z with way more power. I haven't driven in a turbo Z but if anyone is in the ATL area willing to let me ride shotgun, I am down

A lot of people say the same thing. But the excitement for me is gone. I don't care if it was delivered last week. The joy is finally gone as of this past weekend. I know this would of been a flawless perfectly finished kit but there's no way that could remotely make me feel better about it. I'm literally depressed about it. To type this seems so pointless.

Come tonight I'm going to do some serious thinking and tomorrow is most likely it for me. Even if I had in my hands I'm looking at three weeks to be up and running.

I went a year without driving mine. It's worth it in the end.

That's the point. It's not in my eyes. My car is strictly a track car now with no enjoyment on the street most likely. I've bucked up several times. I don't even have parts to go back NA.

That sucks, it looks like you will have to keep pushing through then. I got in on this group buy because a friend of mine wanted to buy my Stage 1.5 SC back in June. He swore up and down that he was going to get it no matter what. Then he got injured and stopped working. No job for him= no on hand buyer for the SC. This happened after I paid for my TT kit in full, 1000ID injectors, pistons, rods, GTM fuel return kit, Elec boost controller, PTP turbo blankets, and a bunch of other s**t. Talk about a lesson learned I have thought about selling my parts i already bought back a few times because my stage 1.5 SC works great, but in the end I'll always be thinking about what could have been. I do have my limits as well, and I can fully understand where you are coming from. My best suggestion for the short is pick up another hobby or project until GTM finally delivers.

I would not have your patience, I am actually in talks with my shop to go FI and this kit will probably will not be on the list regardless of how good of a kit is due to the wait alone, if anything return all the money back and charge it when its out with all of the delays.

Specially on a full track car like yours, I'm at the track pretty much every other weekend, U bet my *** I will flip if I can't track it for even past 2 months!!

Well said. For me now it's the PRINCIPLE . All these guys talking about delays are expected. I've been here the most and very supportive of GTM always. I've talked to GTM a lot. I've received a least two dozen PM's from about 4 different guys asking for my support to see them threw this. People asking me questions about how they should run there kit. So on and so on. I'm just highly stressed about it and pretty sure at the moment I'm about done. I'll support GTM still but for my personal reason I can't go no longer.

I need to crunch numbers and look at options. Not looking good.
