GTM MHI Kit Group Buy Participants...

Cosmo I'm pretty sure your pissed because they spent an hour talking to Alstann but couldn't talk to you for 5 minutes... Proof is in the pudding I guess.

It's funny you say that because I called tony today at fast intentions and spoke with him about my dilemma. Just wait until those people left on the group buy actually get kits and they start having issues, this forum will blow up with even more negative feedback for gtm. At least we can't say we didn't warn them..

I think that's a unfair statement to make, considering the kit is not out yet. Also considering that FI has not had many kits out as well.

Not nut swinging, just saying.

I can just see the black-list sitting next to the new guy answering the phone at gtm labeled: Do Not Answer Numbers From These People and the long list of happy customers keeps growing by the day... lol

The install issues have happened in the past also where no one could get a hold of GTM

man this thread really went from good to **** huh? lol. I really do hope this turns positive for everyone involved, but I'm not sure about it at this point... Im just glad my $6200 check cleared, and I'm out of it. My stress level went from 100 to almost 0 overnight.

btw just to clarify for some people... I am almost 100% positive these manifolds are cracking due to heat stress, and NOT the weight of the turbo. I'm also not sure that these "new" manifolds will be any better in the long run... Just throwing that out there

I'm pretty sure it will. Either everyone will get their money back sooner or later or they'll get what's been owed to them for so long. I'm just really happy that after all this some of is have found the silver lining.

Hi, the cracked manifolds that you have, are they from the original GTM twin turbo kit a while back ? The kit that you have to relocate the steering gear rack and also remove the front crash bar ?
