Alrighty, you guys convinced me, I'll call up Z speed and put in the order for a full clutch kit as soon as GTM announces they're shipping, whenever that'll be. Do it all at once, makes sense. There is some merit to not taking the exhaust/everything on and off 20 times when you know what you want in the end...

Now to decide if I really should buy an EBC now, too..... seems like it would be much easier to install when everything's already torn apart...

Always better to do it right the first time. :tup: Good call man. As for the EBC, I have a feeling that it'll be a toss up between members that say yes, and members that say that you don't need it. Either way, it depends on what you want to do. EBC lets you do cool driveability things like boost ramp up, and different boost levels and such.

Also...if anyone is curious. I gave Sam a call about a week ago, and I got some more news/reassurance.

I explained to Sam that I wanted some more reassurance and a firmer date on the kit. To make a long story short, he told me that he doesn't want to be dishonest with me and give me a firm date, but he honestly thinks that he is "approximately 3-4 weeks away from getting kits packaged together and prepared for shipping." Of course, we've heard this story before, but he told me to just stick with it, and call him back in 3 weeks to get another update from him, and that he thinks I really should stick with it and not pull out of the group buy. Sam reassured me that he really thinks that 3 weeks, and he'll know more, and hopefully start shipping out the kits a little bit after that, in order of who paid first.

As for the physical components, he is finishing or is finished bending the pipes for the intercooler and charge pipes, and he said the only hold up is awaiting the arrival of the cast parts, namely manifolds. This is not isolated however, other companies are also waiting, of course. He answered my email back quick about wanting information, so that made me more comfortable.

I still have faith that this will work out sooner than I hope. But time will tell, you know?

It'll will be worth the wait for you guys that stuck it out!

good luck to you all, hope the kit is awesome! I have officially backed out as of last week. Currently awaiting refund.

Please update when you get your refund or any steps you are forced to take to get it.

will do. no problems as of yet.

Hopefully it goes through without a hiccup. ^^

Now the count is what? 8 from 103

I changed my order from the MHI to the 1.5 SC in mid December so I don't know if that counts, but I do know if I don't get a delivery date by the end of March I will ask for a refund. That will be going on a year they have had my money. If I end up getting my money back I will just put my FI exhaust on, a CAI and a tune and call it a day. I have my eye on a nice AR10 :stirthepot:

The 1.5 supercharger kit has been around for a while now, and you still are waiting after 2 months? Do they not stock any parts anymore?

No. I think people want something that produces boost and they don't want to wait for the MHI so maybe orders for the 1.5 SC are getting more frequent. I can't see what the problem is, overhead shouldn't be a problem because the kits wouldn't stay on the shelf that long. JUST ORDER THE *&%@ing PARTS ALREADY !!!:shakes head:

checked the other thread, still closed lol..

I ordered my regular Turn Key stage 1 TT kit in the middle of September, I finally received it at the end of December. I am still waiting on my ECU reflash cable, that was apparently in stock and ready to ship like 3 weeks ago. They always answer when I call and are friendly, its just what I am told and what is being executed, seems to be different.

I don't even want to think about what is going to happen when it comes to tuning :(

I wish you luck on your 1.5 SC kit.

It is reopended now. A small update, more marketing talk, no dates.

Seriously. Their threads get locked until they provide an update, and that's the update they give everybody? Wait some more, we'll give you an estimated date later? :facepalm:

And it's not even Sam or Mike. They pawned off the PR onto some new guy.

SMH GTM must really think this community is full of idiots and why the Hell is George posting? Isn't he the guy with the broom where's Mike or Sam?!

God damn it guys, get your **** together. You are the only people who make some really cool stuff I'd like to put on my car. But this whole debacle is keeping my wallet in my pants. I know I'm not the only one.

By-pass GTM and take it for a custom tune. I'm sure Sam can get you close but there is no substitute for custom dyno tuning. You will not regret it.

Yeah. The canned tune is just a starting point. The driveability difference is night and day between the last Sam tune and a dyno tune. I'm sure Sam could get you there eventually, but his turnaround time on updated maps is lacking. He still hasn't opened the PM with the last datalog I sent him. In 2012. :rofl2:

Granted, it's all moot if he can't even get you a cable. :facepalm:

Wow 2012!

8/16/2012. I got left hanging twice on the updated map. Had to take a day off work twice, and both times he never so much as answered the phone. He finally sent the map. It was a lot better, but there was still some more fine tuning to be done. I just went with someone local and couldn't be happier. I had been in talks with Sam to have him come out and tune several cars, but obviously that fell by the wayside. :rofl2:

It's too bad the Super Bowl was not entertaining in the slightest....gg hawks tho!

Guys, can you please leave the less-technical chatter to the other thread? I think we were hoping to use this one to discuss the technical in's and out's of the kit....

what are you talking about? this thread is solely about the people involved in the group by....... :confused:

this GB needs three threads, one for talking about mods and shiz for the owners, one for updates and info on the kit, and another one for everyone not involved to post their BS there.

So Dzel what did you end doinh after all? Did you decide to stay NA after all? Or any mods via drivetrain etc etc?

Negative I had to use the money for home repairs. Saved the rest and hopefully next year after I've saved and adding with my bonus I'll be FINALLY able to get a BP kit

1 week since refund was requested. Called every single day this week. Check still hasn't been sent. I didn't pay wire transfer, I didn't pay credit or debit card, I didn't finance. I payed with a check. It really isn't that difficult to write a check and mail it to me. If I don't get it next week, my bank may be getting involved.

Did you pay on full?

LOL @ guy with the broom.

I'm the guy with the 700rwhp stroked 4.15L VQ, but to be fair its only 600rwhp on pump gas ;)

I have been involved with the VQ Community since 2003 and have known Sam for 10 years, so no I am not the guy with the broom :)

Sam works a crazy amount of hours and I am here to help keep the forum members updated as best I can. If anyone is having any issues I encourage you to PM me and I will try to resolve the issue as best I can.

Done

Got your PM, Thank you.

PM Sent.

Ill,

I am sorry you have not received your cable in a timely matter, please reply to my PM so that I may take care of your issue.

Thank you.

Well George I hope you guys can fix everyone's issues as you can see GTM has severely pissed most of THIS community off. I hope your words are not empty ones as we've received in the past.

We will and they aren't :)

Happy Modding,

-George

George - could you address the slow refunds? According to the other locked thread, it is still happening and you didn't address it there. You vowed to improve customer service and this would be a good start.

Agreed
