He won't call you until he got a resolution from the top Anyways, you are from Virginia right? So you should be dealing with Vernon and not Chris.

Last I spoke to Rick and Vernon about the CHRA ball bearing upgrade to the standard turbo, I was told by STS production that they did not have the ability to do it "at this time." That was about one month ago. Does anyone know if availability for this option has changed?

I'm part of the Mid-Atlantic region on my350z.com, the folk 'round here consider themselves Southerners, there's a Dixie RV lot down the road, breakfast places serve grits instead of oatmeal... I figured I was in the South East. Either way, I heard rumor that the South East had a few kits in stock, I figured it was their local warehouse, whereas Vernon told me he had like 1 left about a month before I was ready to purchase. So after that month, I figured I'd follow the rumor straight to the man we call Chris, and he gave me the same deal Vernon gave me. Didn't see any discrepancies, didn't hear any word of Chris being who he's looking to be nowadays, and there was no shenanigans. Btw, shenanigans is a real word, spell check didn't correct me...

This is really confusing coz I always thought that they have a set of tester kits and who ever pay first get them no matter were you are located. Oh, well...

Yeah Chris told me that there were only 2 kits left one was mine and the other was Cubes. I guess there were 4 that they misplaced haha.

BTW does anyone have Ricks e-mail? Sharif just told me that a couple of small pieces were missing from my kit So I think its time I had a little talk with him because this is to much.

So when you said you got an E-mail saying all that including 445 rwhp @ 5psi, you were joking, aka lying, about getting an e-mail that said that? I don't get where the joke is... the joke's on STS if one of their reps (whether a rogue rep or not) said it, otherwise the joke's on you for making a lame joke that was confusing people with wrong information about the kit

Still waiting on my $400 back, word on a tracking number, and ANY word at all from STS for that matter.

No no no if you guys look before i made that comment someone had posted an email that chris had sent them saying that this kit made 425 whp at 5psi. I then said "yeah i made 425 at 5psi but had to detune to 350 at 7.5 psi" as a joke in reference to that ludacris claim which apparently no one got

Default STS w/Greddy ProfecB-specII boost control

Guys, if you want a better price on STS or for that matter any retail item you have to ask for it. Chris quoted $4500 + $150 shipping on my "beta" kit, I said $ 4000 would be better and I got that price.

Now to my question, at what Lo/Hi boost(%), gain(%) and start boost settings is your Greddy boost control set? Car was Dynoed at 6.5 psi with 326whp and 303 wtq.

Don't worry, I just sent an email to Vernon and I'm thinking of getting Rick involve here. I mean, that price is close enough from what I paid and we the first batch of testers had to figure what work and don't work with this kit. Not to mention the countless of question/PM we get for this kit.
