Now I'm confused. Guess I'll reserve judgment until the day I deal with him personally.

I don't see how this thread is benefitting anyone, consumer or supplier. All it's doing is providing a potential mudslinging party between various shops, while confusing / scaring the hell out of potential customers.
To me, any time you work under the hood has potential to end in catastrophic failure. But to borrow a quote, 'you pay to play'. In this case, it's your vehicle, not money. You want forced induction? Do your research and choose one, but you'll eventually have to take the risks involved as well. While I can appreciate doing it right 'the first time', things CAN and WILL go wrong without warning, and it's just how you move forward to make it right again that really matters. With that said, OP is prem, and should lock this before it gets out of hand. Just my two cents, though. |

LOL don't be, yes it was a trying experience but not anything that I would would say is "shady" that is a strong word to use and I don't think it merits to be used with our experience with GTM then and now. As I said the issues were all addressed and the best part is that the car is doing well

It was posted by Sam@GTM on another forum. Its design is to let everyone know that he will no longer authorize Forged Performance as a GTM reseller.

Why close it? I mean ... as a potential SC kit buyer who will look to shops like forged and GTM for my installation - I would like to know if I need to be aware of whats going on... with that said - this thread is full of speculation and what not... I for one am open to keeping it going hoping to see some updates about this so called "law suit" - I am interested to see what happens so I can learn from others who went after the FI dream sooner than myself...
So ... unless this gets really out of hand ... (which I dont think its reached yet) ... keep it open.. |

I agree close it...
I'd like to add one final note of support for Forged Performance, because I don't want people to read too much into the OP... This is simply a thread about a vendor airing his laundry publicly re his channel/dealer. The reasons are cryptic at best. Relationship between supplier and vendor are usually complicated, with issues ranging from inventory, returns disputes, A/R and A/P disputes, etc, all of which can show up publicly as "that company sucks" but in reality may be more about $ or emotions. As for Forged Performance, they are one of the original sponsors of this board, they sponsor customers, they race, they spend hours on the phone dispensing advice for FREE, they are stacked with knowledgeable people - foremost Sharif - and for me at least they have always been extremely responsive with quotes, ship times, etc. I wouldn't hesitate in referring them to anyone, and I trust their advice regarding FI |
