Whoa now. I was going to stay out of this because truehonda.com sold the kits that were supposed to be the topic of this thread. This has gone a bit off topic....

I cleared out my PM box. So its not full anymore. Please keep the bashing and update requests to PM's sent to me.

I know we made some mistakes with some customers parts. And for that i am sorry and i am making it better. Opto, i appreciate your patience and i am making things right with you. 18sec, i just replied to your PM, you are updated. Jetblu, we talked, and you know where everything is.

Now as for everyone else, the truehonda kits are on schedule. If you have any questions about updates, shipping times, or anything else, PLEASE direct them toward me via PM. I dont want you guys to be fighting over stuff like this, when the questions can be simply answered if you PM me.

they may be a lil slow but they definately take care of me. i have had pretty bad luck with parts, but their service made up for it, and they took care of all the defective issues.

I love how SF and DH are the "saviors" of 7th gens. People listen for a god damn second. There are plenty of smaller companies out there that will take our business and fabricate custom turbo kits for us. Just because mass produced kits arent available from Greddy or RevHard everyone thinks there are no options.

I am not bashing either company. I bought an SF kit and experienced some problems but in the end the kit works very well. My point is the same as opto's, if we dont hold these types of companies accountable, then we will get pissed on. By pissed on I mean parts not being shipped, parts of pour quality showing up at your door etc...

When the competition comes, and it will, SF and DH will need to step it up a notch or two. I think I should repeat that my SF kit works great so nobody takes offense.

I still cant believe SF's reputation isnt ruined. I mean Maxrev has one problem with one customer, and everyone hates them. People who buy the SF kit and or parts wait 4+ months, recieve a manifold not even welded correctley, and people who recieve their kits are missing parts...yet everyone still latches on to their ***** somehow and there is always an excuse for everything..

Outside of this site, Maxrev is highly respected.

On the phone Max Rev is a great company. They are very courteous and easy to get a hold of. SF hooked me up to though. I went with SF cuz it just fit better according to another member's review, and at that time I didn't want to deal with custom clutch brackets.

Either way both companies are good, just with some cons involved, nothing that can't be addressed though. Anyway, back to the title we go...

Here is the word as of 3:23PM Central time:

The guys at SF have all the kits done and are waiting for the piping to come back from the powedercoating. The guy they use has left for 5 days and may not be alive bc last they heard he went on a boat and never came back. They are waiting today out and if not, are making new pipes and getting them coated. If you guys want, we can send out the kits without the piping, but I see no reason to do so really. I appologize for the problems, but thats what happens in life I guess. Ill keep you all updated as much as possible.

Sorry guys. I hope this isnt all BS, bc it would be kind of risky to say something like that. Its a rough road, but I am trying.
