On the note of the quality of this kit, anyone notice it now being called the v3 kit? or that since you all have the garret upgrade you are basically getting their new regular kit? I think the budget kit died a long time ago and being that it is the replacement for the old kit, you could reasonable expect the same better performance than what the old kit had depending on what turbo you choose. Look at the other v3 thread all the cars in it are the test cars for the "mhi" kit. Based on that after this group by I would guess that the price is going to go up to around what their current kit is.

Any thoughts?

V3 is for GTX upgrade only as far as I know.

Im looking to upgrade to V3 GTX since I already have GTX turbo kit. Well, depends on the price Im still waiting quotations from both ends GTM and F.I..

As for crack manifolds Im sure GTM is making sure not to have this issue anymore with their new manifold to stay in competition with other vendors.

talked to gtm, it seems the v3 is the new kit and if the new gtx turbos require the t25+ housing then that is an upgrade to another set of new manifolds so there are the new v3 manifolds and then there is the new v3 t25+ manifolds. Sam wasn't in so may still want to check on that. Oh and the price will go up after the group buy but they didn't say to what.

I'm closing this thread temporarily so that a. I can clean it (and re-open it) and b. have GTM post a response here. They should be able to open the thread as it's created by them. They SHOULD regularly post replies as needed or questions asked and if they are really that backed up with work, they should say "next update in _ days or we will make an update on ___ " and keep the promise.

I have already asked members who are NOT related to this group buy to stay out of this thread. There's no need for your in this thread. This isn't a funny thread in lounge. It's people's hard earned money and their active orders. I hope that GTM gets to deliver 100% to each and every customer here. If you're going to be trolling here, I will personally remove your access from F.I. section. Takes me 6 seconds to do it but you will suffer for months. Please don't make me do it as I do not want to do it. Please do not troll in this thread once it's open again.

Thanks

AK

We have received new casting pieces this week, our pipe bending machine is now 100% operational to bend a complete kit of pipe. We should have more detailed information and delivery dates in the next few weeks.

It has been difficult to manufacture a high quality kit that we believe is going to be the best on the market and have invested a lot of effort to make everything in house to ensure that quality continues. We thank everyone for being patient with us as we grow to bring our products to the next level and have new products coming soon.

Was the bending machine not 100% when you guys had someone install it and sent 2 employees to be certified on it this by the way this was 4 months back?

I agree. I have the patience for the possible best kit out there, just be realistic with the time frame.

If this is the 'best kit on the market' why is it cheaper than all their other turbo kits? Are the more expensive ones sub-par and not worth buying?

I'll admit that there are a lot of positives to this kit and all things consider it could be the 'best option' for certain people but calling it the best kit is a bit of a stretch.

He's made some wild statements like that before and has never explained why he thinks so. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to stay positive after such a long wait, even if you do come across as delusional in the process.

Gtm is better than greddy, stillen, hks, aam, bp. But i think its equal to fast intentions imo.
