To4s/r Kits - 2000.00
#141
Mine showed up today. I have a couple of issues with it. First off I requested that there be two o2 sensor bungs welded into the downpipe. Well I only got one. Secondly, and this one isnt that big of a deal. The nipples for the compressor housing,and wastegate are all missing from the kit. Finally there was no clamps whatsoever in the kit, No worm clamps for the coolant line and the V band was not in the kit either. I was told by Ron at Davinchi that it was order and supposed to be shipped to me directly. Hopefully that doesnt take long.
Good things., It does come with a braided oil line and banjo fitting which I was not expecting and Justin has tried to be helpful although I dont believe that he has alot of control over what happens over at Davinchi. All in all I belive that I have gotten my 2k worth. So I am happy. Lets see how it performs.

Come on Martin, lets n ot bash to badly. Justin said turn around would be 30days. Mine was just at that time. I was bummed about the hardware but I have it all and Justin has offered to compensate for the inconvience. I am not dissatisfied with the purchase. Hang in there it will show soon. You need to understand that with the jet hot that you opted for there is now a 3rd party involved and anything custom like this kit and the jet hot is going to take awhile. Your stuff will be there soon I am sure.
and my order was placed well over 2 months ago

Dave, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your patience.
Martin has had the kit on order for some time now. There were a few factors that contributed to the delay initially.. He initially put down 1200.00 to get us started. That alone would have covered the turbo and the wastegate HOWEVER, paypal would not let us withdraw more than 500.00 per MONTH from our account. Unfortunately, being a small shop doesn't give you much money to buy things with, so with 500.00 we could only get hardware. No turbo (925.00). Martin gave us another 500.00 a few weeks later to cover more parts. Unfortunately, THAT 500 was all by itself again as it hadn't been a month yet so we couldn't get anything out of paypal... I mistakenly told Martin that we had ordered his turbo, when in reality, we didn't. Bad communication between me and the shop. After another couple of weeks, martin paid the rest (8xx.00) and we ordered the turbo. What sucks is STILL there is 200 bucks locked up in Paypal that we can't use. We had to pay for that portion of the Jet-Hot out of pocket. It's just been a REAL mess. I've done my best to keep everyone informed. MArtins kit is moving now, and I HOPE we get it out really soon. That depends on turn around time at Jet-Hot.
I told Martin to feel free and post his experience. I've learned that in the past, people don't say how they feel until way after the fact.. It's better to get it out and let me deal with it. I don't want anything left out.
This will all be fixed soon, and you both will be pushing 450HP IBM FD's.
If anyone has any questions or comments, PLEASE don't hold back. I'm completely aware that we have missed a few areas and it's only fair that people know.
