I was under the impression that a little smoke is normal because the turbo has to establish its seals.

Take this news with a grain of salt but........

I talked to Mike and he said because his primary vendor was taking so long he took a little bit of a price hit and bought 15 actuators at a bit higher price from another vendor which are coming in tomarrow. That's enough for all the civic and celica people that are waiting. Says he will have them shipped by Friday. Crossing my fingers.

Someone please get a hold of SF!!! Their mailbox has been full for 8 days and I cannot update any of you because I cant get a hold of them. All I know now is that the planned date is supposed to be Friday for the shipment so I will excuse the missed phone calls by assuming htat they are working and dont have time for calls.


Mike,

if you see this, it is your cue to call me ASAP!!!! You guys said Clifton's kit was shipped, can I get a confirmation.

I'll try calling Mike in another hour or so and see what he says. I guess he's not answering any of Ed's phone calls.

Ok, just talked to Mike about a half hour ago. Didn't get the actuators in until this morning. Some of the kits will be going out today and the rest Monday and Tuesday. He's shipping them out in the order that the orders came in. There are a couple Celica kits in front of us so we are probably looking at a Monday ship date.

All tracking numbers will be sent via email unless he doesn't have them in which case he will call Ed and he will pass the info along.

So hopefully I'll be boosted by next weekend.

So why does Player know more than the authorized seller? Do you know him on a personal basis?

Well, I'd say not to get your hopes up yet guys. Having them shipped Monday may mean two more Mondays. I wouldn't hold my breath until I had a tracking number. Once you get that, you know it's been shipped. I mean, if you had a million people trying to get ahold of you for turbo kits and you ignored most of your calls and didn't check your voicemail, wouldn't you want to get as many people off your back as you could by giving them tracking numbers? I sure would. Well, anyways, hope you guys don't have to wait much longer.

Well actually you can generate tracking numbers before you even ship a package....you just need to print a shipping label.

Reason for me not updating is:

I have no contact with the company. They know my area code and dont pick up-- I cant do much. Player, is in Indiana (I think) so his code is different, therefore he gets through. Either way, Im hoping for the best!!!!!!!!

No news as of today. Sorry guys. Still waiting for Mike to pick up his phone. If anyone can work with me that would be awsome! I need someone to call them becuase they know my area code and dont pick up if its me.

Doesn't this make you wish you hadn't taken this order? Pretty unprofessional, huh? I was going to wait around for them to send me a new water tank but I dont think I'll be doing business with them again nor will I advise anyone to order from them. No offense to them but when I talked to Mike Stafford, I told him my timeline and he gave me a date and it's a week after that so if they don't care about customers, screw 'em. I won't wait around on them again.

a friend of mine talks to them, and i heard they have bullshitting people for awhile now..not just us either. alot of people that own celicas. i just wish they would be honest!!! and stop takin orders until our stuff is done! they might think twice if everyone from the GB said they want the money back.. hell everyone from this site. i havnt complained or said really anything but its getting to the point where its rediculous.. especially that they dont say anythig, post "god forbid" and they avoid eddie.. they need to tell us the truth!

What's my sig say? What? I thought you guys didn't mind waiting? If I remember correctly about 2 or 3 pages ago the favorite saying was "oh, you're just being impatient." What goes around comes around guys...

I'm very tempted to say that I want my money back. Personally my patience with SF is running thin.

However, Eddie's customer service is top notch, and believe me, the 3 grand I get back if I refund the SF kit will be going right back to Eddie for other products in the near future.
