Lol this just gets better and better. Sick with the flu? Man the f up. The flu?????? Orange juice and man the f up. Can't believe that had to be mentioned.

You're only as good as your word and he has lost a lot of it in this community. I hope this thread never magically disappears.

New products? He can't even finish this product! All the sudden his "vendors" are good and helped him finish other products.

Spohn, didn't I call it on the pm? Haha

Good luck to those still waiting. Boost is a blast. I hope the smiles erase the bad taste now and leaves it an afterthought.

I am just in awe with the threads and responses to GTM's product (s) and customer service. I am going to leave it at this..........there is a reason why I don't have anything from them. Especially after being bashed for going with an "inferior" Greddy kit.

So if your using a local foundry and everything is done in house? What are you guys waiting on from your vendors again?

I may be wrong but last we heard your foundry was over seas hence why it was out of your hands to put psi on them to get the job finished???

This.
We've all seen the pics of the crates they came in from the oil pans. How else would this kit be done so cheap? If the foundry is local what's there name? Don't BS me I talked to Sam. And got lied to twice

Question... Sorry my head is killing me so maybe I missed it...
But is the hold up intercooler cores? Or the end pieces that are welded onto the cores?

If it is the cores, wasn't there a pic posted saying something like '100 cores ready for our TT kit'?
If not, carry on

Hopefully this will clear up some confusion...

The delays in manufacturing have been the turbo kit piping and the castings.

The piping delays have been resolved and the pipes are currently being manufactured in-house.

We are still waiting on the cast pieces, we have changed some things (will post details at a later date) for the new V3 kits and are using a local foundry for our casting pieces.

The intercooler cores are manufactured overseas and are high quality, our supplier makes these cores for a number of manufacturers over various platforms. Most of the forced inductions kits you see on the market for a number of vehicles are made overseas. Would you not buy an iPhone because it is manufactured overseas?

There have been ZERO intercooler failures in case anyone is confused, and I have never seen one on any platform in the last 10 years.

Out of the over 300 turbo kits we have manufactured over the last few years for the VQ community we have only heard of a few cracked turbo manifolds.

It is important for people to know that if your car is extremely low (like mine ) and you are not careful and keep bottoming out your exhaust system it will fatigue the manifolds and they are more likely to eventually have stress cracks. I personally have 3" flex sections in my down pipes in the event I do bottom out for it to absorb some of the impact.

If you take a piece of hot cast iron and keep bagging it with over 3,000lbs what do you think would happen over time? Regardless of what turbo kits you have I would recommend adding a flex section pre-turbo on the exhaust or be very careful.

If it was a manufacturing defect there would be a lot more than handful of cracked manifolds out of the over 600 manifolds out there on the road.

We are striving to get everything on track and our #1 priority right now is to get everyone involved in our group buy their products. I have received some PM's regarding the Free Garrett turbo upgrade if the customer needed to do something on their part, the answer is no if you are part of the original group buy and did not back out you will be receiving a free Garret turbo upgrade at no cost automatically this is our way of apologizing for the unforeseen delays and trying to make things right.

No one will be getting the MHI turbos from the group buy.

I hope this helps and I encourage anyone to PM with any issues they have with their order, we are trying our best to do the right thing and take care of all our customers. I am confident once everyone that has waited patiently (which we greatly appreciate) receives their kit they will be extremely happy with the quality and value. It was a great deal before and even better now with Garret turbos

Thank you,

-George

I been in and out of this thread for the last HOW EVER MANY MONTHS....

but have this been ever brought up? it seem like the MHI TT-KIT Project Car is still not finish, as its still being mock up and tested.

if this is true *IM JUST WONDERING NOT CAUSING PROBLEM*
how sure are you that this is not a ticking time bomb waiting to blow on the hundreds of customer that are awaiting for their kit including me?

and if this car is still being work on? how did you set up a Dyno test without successfully finishing the "Project Car it self"

And yet we still dont have a Realistic Time Date

I rather wait 1-2 year compare to have a ticking time bomb and yes i know its just piping and such... but that why Greddy and other Company TT-KIT cost alot due to TESTING and QUALITY and CONTROL PARTS.

and yes i do agree that most part is from china and yes there are HQ parts

sorry for going off topic but I just want 100% Tested product on and off track.

and please stop telling us that you guys are close u said that 6 + Month ago.

I dont mind waiting, i just want a legit time and date.

sorry! if i have cause any issue i just wanna know!

I'm pretty sure that the first MHI kit was installed on a G37. Wattles is his username over on myg37.com and as as far as I know its still going strong after 12+ months. From memory the only thing that he didnt have was the new manifolds. He was waiting on the new ones (probably still is) due to the old ones rubbing.

EDIT: I just checked and Wattles hasn't posted for quite a long time. He wasn't very active anyway but I am pretty sure that he would have let the community know if his kit had blown up (or the intercooler cores had failed.....lol).

Wattled ended up with a built motor.

Long story short, I now have a built engine after a long wait and Many dollars invested I hadn't planned on.

What can I say?
