GTM MHI Kit Group Buy Participants...

V1H

Bought and fully paid my TT kit in January. Outside group buy, though, which was closed long ago.
Sam recently told me only Turbos and BOV still missing. After 4 months I might onlybe looking at 1 more week or so

Was offered the MHI successor at the time and went straight with
Garrett GT2860RS 0.86 A/R (Ball bearing) with UpRev
Internal wastegate 0.4bar (6psi) (starting point of my venture)
Aiming for ~500 HP (crank)

still looking for a non-resonated catback with muffler delete pipes
that bolts to cat'd downpipes (coz my U.K. emissions test will actually measure the emissions)

oil cooler, electronic boost controller etc, to follow in due time.
All will be installed solo in my garage (as always)

I hope u do get ur kit but you gotta realize that Sam has used that excuse or similar version of it so many times already. Anyone who has asked has been given the same "just a week or 2 away".

It's interesting he took payment in January of this year.

He's been a week or two away since 8/2013.


Fixed.

V1h, you might want to at least have a backup plan. Don't wait so long you can't get your bank involved.

Chuck, that one had me rooollliiiinnnggg.

Anyone know whether GTM would be faster at shipping a Supercharger kit instead? Has anyone done such swap for the TT delays?

Chuck33079

Infidel made that decision. Still took another six months or so. Your best bet is to get your money back ASAP and go back to the drawing board. Find a plan that doesn't involve GTM. If they end up declaring bankruptcy, you're out all your money.

Barring my current situation I believe I was EXTREMELY lucky in getting something out of GTM. I called and changed my mind in mid Deccember of last year, I personally think the train has left the station for anyone else looking to get something other than empty promises. What a shame. Just like our economy GTM's facade can only go on so long. I think I'm one of the last customers to get any FI product in hand...at least here on the forum. If they have your money BE SCARED.

If you keep getting the excuse that the turbos are a week or 2 away for several months there is one of 2 reasons:

1) Back order on the turbos (easy to confirm by contacting one of the 6 distributors in the United States which he has to be buying from Turbochargers | Garrett Distributors | Turbo distributors )

2) No money in the bank to pay for the turbos you already paid for. ( so as new money comes in he buys what he can and completes what he can. Typical Ponzie Scheme, not that he set out to scam anyone but current fiscal situations may prevent him from delivering. Then one or two people back out and want refunds and it sets everyone back weeks, months, years, infinity..)


Im hoping for all your sake it is the first of the 2 scenarios... Hate to break it down but those pretty much are the only 2 reasons this would be dragged out for over a year.

It's crazy he gave you that time and your in the UK. While the guys in the states just received an update of 3 to 6 months just last week

I really hope the guys that want their money back actually get it.

I'd assume you would start by calling your credit card company. GTM had to take your money in January. They had refunds to pay and needed the cash. You need to get an exit strategy.

It's wild to think his money may have paid for my charger from Rotrex

V1H

I paid with PayPal, I know they only cover for 2 months.
But no harm in contacting PayPal anyway

Chuck33079

Ouch. There was no way that was ever going to be good. Cal GTM. Call Paypal. Start making noise.
