GTM Performance Engineering & Forged Performance

azn370z

For well over a decade we at GTM have prided ourselves on offering our customers and clients with access to superior performance tuning and aftermarket performance product manufacturing. We hold ourselves to the highest of standards and prove this daily through hard work, dedication, and exceptional customer service. We also hold all resellers of our product to the same level of standard that we hold ourselves.

Over the past few months there have been issues brought to our attention regarding one of our resellers, Forged Performance. Without going into great detail, we at GTM have decided that it is in our best interest, as well as our customers and clients, to discontinue supplying this organization with our products.

This does not mean that your options are limited in where to purchase your GTM products or have them installed. There are many reputable resellers of GTM items and our website is a great outlet, as well. For those who have had - or are in the process of having - GTM parts installed at Forged Performance, all warranties pertaining to these GTM items are still applicable. Rest assured this change will not impact those who have patronized us in the past or those who will do so in the future.

Please feel free to PM, email or call me with any questions or concerns.

Sam

Where did you get this piece of info azn370z??? I do feel bad for forged Proformance but it is what it is, and the people that drive this market are the customers and they come first.

drama drama drama. I thought Forged was a pretty good shop from what I had heard before...

As usual, I have to decipher what Sam is trying to say when he connects sentences. Anyone know what he means by this ?

"Rest assured this change will not impact those who have patronized us in the past or those who will do so in the future."

I think he means if you had stuff installed by Forged in the past they will continue customer support, and if you buy GTM stuff in the future they will then too? maybe? Eh it's a business move who knows what happened exactly, the re dredging of the Juan incident, something more recent maybe, or hell maybe Sam found his wife/gf with shariff one night (ok this ones a joke don't kill me), all we can do is accept it, and continue to decide based on our own personal discretion who we choose to, or not to do business with ourselves.

Yep its a business move but we just dont know what brought it about, could be that Juan thing, and IMO they did miss some serious quality controls on that project no matter what drama went on and that could mean bad reps for GTM if a shop does that. GTMs products have to look good and perform no matter what tech put it on.

Guys, for those of you who don't know... GTM was a supplier for Fprged Performance. However, if you went to buy a GTM kit from forged performance you would get a response like the following:

"Honestly, we would not reccommend you buying a GTM kit as it has quality control issues and their kits are not tested. We would reccommend on the other hand one of our Greddy kits which can make similar power for the same price."

Now, if you still bought the GTM kit you typically got an install similar to Juan's because forged performance either didn't read the manuals or just didn't take the time to make sure they installed the kit correctly. Several cars have been shipped to GTM to fix issues in regards to their installs and tunes. As this became more and more of an issue and common occurance Sam and GTM began to get phone calls from potential customers like myself asking why doesn't the kit fit? So naturally to end this problem of lies being spread about their quality products and shady workmanship they have decided to end any and all business with forged performance. I do not blame them and would have done the same thing!

As far as warranties go: if you have bought your kit through forged performance or had them install one your warranty is still valid.

Well, it isnt lies, the shop I get my work done had to puzzle together the GTM twin turbo kit for 2 months because of the issues you describe above. I know this shop and know they wouldn't turn a wrench without understanding what it is they are doing first. So I think there is fault on both ends. Don't argue with me, there's a thread on another forum that details the experience a little and I also heard it straight from the shop. I don't want to get involved in this drama, but I don't know that its fair to judge Forged so harshly when I know for a fact that GTM products aren't exactly perfect either.
