Why APS ST? You can get a Greddy TT for less then a 1000$ difference, not a big deal when going FI anyway...

I waited 3 weeks for mine back when it first came out.
And now months later, after they had some new improved parts that came out...Reggie still does not forget us old customers. He "NEXT DAY" the new pipings to me right after he got my PM.

Now thats customer service.

I know the wait must be hard. But seriously, if you want it bad enough, you'll wait. If not, go with something else.

Things like this are bound to happen, part of the game. Just roll with the dice, its many people waiting on parts not just you...I waited 1-1.5 month(s) for my kit-couldnt be happier.

Me again.

I hate to tell this to you, but in essence, FI is FI. There is nothing magical about one kit that makes it superior to anything else on the market. The total success of a FI project is 15% kit and 85% of the installer/tuner. So if the whole TN issue is so aggrevating (which it is), then cancel the order and get something that is readily accessable and your mechanic/tuner knows how to work. Everyone who praises the TN kit would have sang a same song regardless of their choice of FI.
A boosted Z is a boosted Z is a boosted Z (and it is awesome) and should not be waited on for any reason.

Who did you buy your kit from? Seems like the vendor, when I ordered from Intense Motorsports got the kit quick... Not even two weeks of waiting while others did wait a month or so.

Not sure how Darren did it, but he got me one... So unless you directly talked to someone at Turbonetics, I don't think it is fair to blame them for something that could be on the vendor side of things.

So... have you tried talking directly with Turbonetics on this?

When the original AAM group buy was taking place, I was getting one story from Turbonetics and one story from AAM. I eventually contacted Reggie directly and we were able to get things smoothed out and rolling.
