Sounds as Sam felt your head full of crap like he did mine. Leading you on with how great he is and so on. While he sits back he can't even update his own thread. The fact that he's stealing other companies products and even there instructions says a lot that will never be undone. This guy told me so many lies then lead me on with even more lies to stall on the the previous ones. So many empty promises after I went to bat for him. Have fun with you guys cheap Chinese crap.

The above statement is 100% FACT. No two sides to it!!!!!!!!

I'd be interested in some elaboration on this one as well.

Keeping in mind that China produces both low quality and high quality products I'd like to know which parts are the crappy ones.

Where have you heard of actual failures? So far in this thread we've just got speculation about this kit.

I have not heard any failure from anywhere besides this thread. I hope it's just speculation so far ??

The intercooler cores are from China. And yes China produces parts at all ends of the quality spectrum. But 99% of the time, global companies that produce quality parts in China have strict QA programs and staff in China. GTM can't manage a single product offering in the United States, do you think they have quality control on the other side of the world?

Serious question... GTM has already offered up Garrett turbos for no cost. So if the quality is the same as the Garrett kit, where are they making up the price difference? (and don't tell me the million dollar pipe bender)

You are concerned that an intercooler core is going to fail? I don't think I have ever seen an intercooler core fail on any forum that I have been on.

We use a local foundry for our castings and all the welds and fabrication are done in house. By the way you would be surprised were most of the parts on your car were made.

Regarding the turbos, we are not making that up anywhere. We are taking a loss and have upgraded the people on the group buy at no cost since they have had to wait for an extended amount of time.

The intercooler core is just an example. I have seen countless heat exchanger failures in both R&D and field environments. Stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, de-lamination, etc...

Actually I wouldn't be surprised, I work for an automotive OEM. But as I said before, it depends on your QA/QC in the foreign production facilities. How is yours in China?

I understand you are losing on the price difference between the turbos and it cut in to your profit. I'm also not naive enough to think you are selling the kits at a loss now.

Name one intercooler that has failed by GTM. I'm pretty sure they used it in their 1000hp Z. It's really just petty. The only piece that's shown any issue was the old log manifolds. This whole made in China arguement is ********. Be happy with the kits you have, this thread is just throwing $hit back and forth. It's childish.

I've asked you before, how many miles do these intercoolers have on them?
