When you go you should act like you don't know what's going on and found them in you tube. See what they tell you about the kit. I wouldn't be surprised if they told you a different story

Yes. It is REAL BAD !!! I cannot believe that the GTM TT threads, originally intended for all of our auto enthusiasts to get together in order to share, discuss , learn and have fun finally turned out to be the ones filled with anger and nightmare. All because of GTM's terrible business conduct. How sad.....

yup I'm out officially, contacted my bank and they have opened a dispute, up to 45 business days to complete but will end up with a refund either way. If I was local to them I'd still probably be in as I could visit the shop and see the progress/what else is happening with their business, but from overseas this is getting a little too scary with all the other problem stories popping up which has caused me to act. I initially wanted to change over to one of their supercharger kits, but after another member on the forum here had to still wait 4-5 months, no way I was waiting that long for a supercharger kit.

basic run down of my story, my last chance to stay in the deal, contacted Sam last week (Thursday arvo his time, Friday morning my time) and asked him what we are waiting on, said the cast parts, I said what exactly is the cast parts, it was 2x exhaust manifolds and some sensor, he said everything else was in stock, I've said okay I'm worried being overseas I won't receive my products as this is dragging on a long time, please send me all the parts you have in stock and I'm more than happy to pay a little extra on shipping to ship the remaining parts once they come into stock, he agree'd and said it will take 2-3 days for the picking list and all the parts to be picked. I said I will call back on Monday or Tuesday, he said Tuesday afternoon will be better.

I've just rang them now, he's said that it's a bad idea to send me the goods with the kit in-complete, because if anyone else finds out it, they will want the same thing done and there will be a lot of incomplete kits out that could cause issues, I said why didn't you just tell me this on Thursday arvo (Friday morning my time), he said not sure, he probably should have but his team had a think about it and this is what they came up with. he said he is more than happy to issue me a refund that will take a few days, I told him not to bother, I'm not waiting and will raise it with my credit card company.

All in all, stress is mostly gone now, feels great, still not out of it yet as it can take up to 45 days to get my refund, but at least action is in place now for that.

There is some light at the end of the tunnel for me, there is a company here in Aus now that have developed a bolt on twin turbo kit, going to cost more $$ but it's only other real option (about $2000 more all up so no biggie), either that or a stillen supercharger kit, not sure which yet.

overpriced imo $9500 without any fuel pump/injectors/tuning software included, especially the way the exchange rate is + import fee's.

thanks for the option though, slipped my mind

I had my Z shipped to GTM in October 2013. Sam had the car for nearly 6 months. I only got it back after months of pestering, relentless phone calling and 2 trips to his shop - and I'm from Michigan. I have the newest TT kit - NOT the MHI. Eric at GTM was instrumental in getting the car back to me and if not for him, I have doubts as to when or if it ever would have been completed. I've spoken to Sam probably 50 times over the 6 months. His health issues are real. Whomever mentioned the scar was accurate. I'm not a Dr. and won't speculate, but my perception is that it's significant which likely has contributed to the delay. I did my homework prior to shipping the car to them. I'm very happy with the results but I'm sure Sam and Eric would tell you i was serious thorn in their side. I just wanted the car back. I can only hope nothing goes wrong as I don't know what I'll do for support. I feel for those who were waiting on the kit to to self-install. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send a private message.

Everything FReddy is overpriced. Course I'm running their relocation thermostat and multi-gauge. They offer some of the best solutions for stuff and in some cases the only option
