Forced Induction Kit Vendor Feedback Thread

[MMC Racing]

I'd love to be reviewing my GTM CARB certified supercharger kit right now..

[TerribleONE]

I was the F.I prototype car, took a lot longer than expected but Tony always kept me updated. I could not be happier with my kit, or anything else they did on my car for that matter. (Seats, gauges, boost controller, body kit, oil cooler, exhaust, etc. I wouldn't have it any other way it's as simple as that. After over 2,000 hard miles (1.5k by me and 1k by FI) we have had zero issues except the damage that's been done to my Michelin's

I wanted Boost Performance's turbo kit because I could afford it but it doesn't fit my AT....I would still buy if they would put a smaller turbo than the one that comes on the regular kit but then again only one can wish :'(

Any news on the aam competition kit?

I feel like this thread is going to go off the rails in three ... two ... one ...

I don't believe turbo size would be the problem. I've never been under an AT Z or G but from the pictures that tranny is massive. I think the problem would be routing the cross-over pipe from the driver side hearder.

I love my GTM kit. They make good stuff, it's everything else they do poorly. It did take another tuner to really make the car feel like a factory FI car. Sam's tune always felt a little "aftermarket FI kit".

There's also a few engineering choices that make me scratch my head, like daisy-chaining the turbo water lines so the hot coolant coming out of one turbo is used to cool the other one. WTF? I did buy mine in 2011, and it seems like they started going downhil after that.

Now, had Fast Intentions had kits shipping out when I bought my kit, that's what I would have.

BP - I'll save my complete comments until after install and a few miles. Since the kit is in hand I will comment on those aspects. Sasha is the epitome of customer service and his attention to detail is second to none. When I opened my box it included everything (even zip ties, drill bits, proper tap, etc.) I need to install short of common tools any man, or woman for that matter, should have around the house. Every part in the kit is top notch.

GTM - The ones I've had personal experience with are great. Make good power and seem to use quality parts. What I've seen on this forum shows me that GTM has a lot to learn about running a business.

F.I. - No personal experience with any of their products but the TT kit is a thing of beauty. Tony's customer service is extremely good. He was even willing to build me a custom F.I. exhaust to mate up to my BP kit since I don't need the entire thing. Says a lot when another manufacturer is willing to customize his product to support another companies F.I. kit.

That's really the rub- customer service and after-sales support need a complete overhaul. Other than a few quirks I wouldn't have done myself, their Garrett kit is fantastic. There's a reason it was the benchmark for this platform for a while. Unfortunately, they're not responding well to the competition who has brought some spectacular kits to market.

Boosted Performance Test Car - Sasa had my car for exactly how long he said he would. He called me just about every day to let my know what was going on. I got tons of pictures and he even let me input some feedback. He is a great guy all around and his kit is top notch. Anyone considering a turbo should take a hard look at this kit.

I should point out I have not had one issue with my kit, but I know that IF I did that Sasa would pull through for me and that's a level of service rarely found these days.

The BP kit even comes with the bits and taps? That's incredible. I was even thinking to myself how crazy it would be if a kit came with all necessary tools...and there it is.

Most if not all of the fittings already come with teflon tape on them

Correct. The kit comes with two drill bits (pilot and final) for taping the manifold, as well as a 1/8" NPT tap. A roll of teflon tape is included, even tough all the fitting already have it wrapped around the threads already.

RTV is included for the oil pan, zip ties are included as well, as is the oil filter. Oil filter housing is bolted to the bracket, as is the oil cooler. The kit is a lot like assembling Lego.

All you need is oil to and tools to complete the install. The idea is to start the install, and not have to run to the store for anything. We all know how annoying that can be.

Any supercharged setups in here?
