Wow, I am glad I don't need to use you for customer service!
You should just quit, all your doing is digging yourself a grave. Mia is trying to help but your too worried about coming off like an *** to realize it. You have put everyone one here on the offensive because of the way you come off. Have you ever heard the old saying, you can catch more flies with honey?

"I dont do alot of Z/G stuff" Maybe that is the problem? And do you think you are going to attract any business by acting in an unprofessional manner?

Well, we could stop it one way. Sell me the kit. Hell, I'll take the broken v clamps. Bought it for 4600 right? I got 3750 right now! Send me a pm. If I don't hear from you I'll assume the kits not that bad! Got to keep up with all these turbonetics kits in Tampa. I know Leaky's your customer so see if he wants to sell so he can go Greddy. I ain't scared of rust!

It's now time for me to chime in on this situation. Believe it or not I'm actually on this board quite often through out the day. I just like to stay under the radar. Because just like this situation it always end up being a huge he said, she said battle. But unfortunately I cant stay under the radar after reading what Steven and Leaky have been saying here. Not only has Steven been unprofessional but he and Leaky have been telling half truths.

For those of you that are interested this is what REALLY happened.

In Dec 05 Steven from No Limit called me and informed me that the bellow on one of his customers pipes broke. Steven was in a hurry and wanted a pipe sent out A.S.A.P. Now lets think about this for a second. Name one company that you can call and say, Your part broke send out another part A.S.A.P. Turbonetics protocol would be to get the part back, inspect it, then repair and or replace it. If my T.V. broke I couldnt call Sony and tell them to just send me another one without sending it back for them to inspect it. With that said here is a copy of our Warranty.

"Warranty: TURBONETICS products are backed by the turbocharger industry's first and only "No Fault/ No-Hassle" warranty program. TURBONETICS will repair or replace, at our expense and TURBONETICS/SPEARCO products that fail, including products used in racing or competition applications, for a period of one year from the orginal date of purchase. Warranty is limited to TURBONETICS products and does not include progressive or subsequential damage and does not cover removal or installation labor or associated parts. Call for approval, WARRANTY (Inspection Authorization) tracking number and shipping call tag prior to sending the product to TURBONETICS. Our customer service representative will provide packing and shipping instructions."

So to help Steven out and go the extra mile I asked Steven to send me a picture of the pipe. And once I got the pic I would send him a new pipe priority overnight. I'm think that this a great gesture on my part. He wouldnt have to wait until I got his old pipe back. All he would have to do is take a picture of the pipe and email it to me. Is this so hard to do? If I've learned one thing from dealing with people like Steven and Leaky is that some people will never be happy no matter what you do. And its people like them who ruin it for everyone. So Steven sent the picture over via email and I upheld my end of the deal and sent him a new one out priority.

Two weeks ago Steven calls me and says hey man its Steven from No-Limit. Do you remember me? I'm thinking for a sec and then I remember he was the guy that I helped out in December with that pipe. Then I remember MIA asking me about him. And I honestly didnt remember him when MIA was asking me about him. I talk to over a hundred people a day. Steven then says he man whats up with your pipes. My customer pipes are rusting. I then say I have never heard of anyones pipes rusting. Are you sure its not from the road salt that you guys have out there. He then gets offended and says man this guy never drives his car. I'm thinking to myself really? Thats weird. He then says that he broke a v-band clamp. I said, really?

Steven then says hold on a sec let me let you talk to him. The guy (Leaky) then lays into me saying that this kit sucked since day one. Saying that he has fitment issues, pipes rubbing, rusting and v-band clamps breaking. I tell him that I'm surpised about the fitment issues. Out of all the kits that we have sold dont you think that other people would be having the with fitment issues. I then said, I'm curious how this kit is fitting on your car. Can you take some pics when the problem spots are so I can check it out? It kinda hard to know what he talking about without seeing it with your own eyes. He said ok. Then I asked him what about the v-band clamp. He said never mind the clamp I sourced it else where cause your clamps are cheap. I NEVER asked him to take a picture of a v-band clamp. Then he put Steven back on the phone. And I asked him was there anything else I could help them with. Steven said no. End of conversation........

So with all that said. If you want a v-band clamp all you gotta do is ask. It just sucks that you have to resort to being immature internet thugs. So please stop the name calling and if you would like a clamp, I wont hold this against you. I would be glad to send you one. I still have your address on file Steven. Just let me know what size clamp you would like.

What do you mean exactly?

More than anything I am heavily looking into the JWT setup, but I am not comfortable running it the way it is. I will be upgrading the injectors and have a fuel return for my own piece of mind. I will probably switch out the EMS as well for either a Unichip or UTEC...

Maybe I am confusing you with someone else. There was a Zman something in FL that used to have a APS ST and was getting an APS TT.

That's not realistic in the realm of FI. I don't care which kit you have, or how quality and complete its components are, there will ALWAYS be small problems and annoyances no matter how great the setup is. That is the nature of it.
