I would HAVE to get the minimum of 10 full orders first to do this for you. I think you'll have a little time though. I'm collecting the money on #7 today, you make number 8....so while you're waiting for your money to arrive I still have to find 2 more buyers.

Alright, I'll try to get it as soon as possible, and I MIGHT be able to give you a little more than $300 whenever needed if the money doesnt come in time, but keep me updated and I'll do the same for you.
Thanks as always.
Scott.

good deal. I picked up another deposit today from Timmy "crushedbumpers" and his step dad.

Miller said he has about 6 possibles right now so maybe I can get more than 10 and use your little bit to hold one for you scotty. I'll let you know when I hit the magical number.

8 paid, expecting one more in the next week or so. Still working on getting the pipes back from wagner. Next time there's a change or an update I'll be sure to post it.

pseudo-OT... Matty, you mentioned I might source my own intake filter... any idea if the filter for the manual 2.0 AEM intake I have would fit? not sure on the I.D.

the ID would need to be 3" since that is the size of the inlet piping. ANY filter would work if it's 3".

This is just rediculous. Matt, I'm going to need my money back. This has gone on long enough. Since you said you havent placed any orders for anything yet, im expecting ALL of my money back. Thanks for the incredible offer, but I was originally told 3 1/2 weeks approx.. not 4-5 months.

paypal id is nutari@hotmail.com or if you are going to mail a check, I can send my mailing address also.

Thank you

I didnt say it was his fault. I sent money expecting this to be done a long time ago. I could have paid someone locally for a kit and have it custom installed already.

As of this morning I've spoken with 2 companies who are interested in purchasing all 4 of the larger blowers back at MORE than I paid for them. Since I will (most likely) not be making a several thousand dollar return at powerdyne I will be able to just purchase new headunits outright without meeting a specific quantity. The delay really came when I was trying to return blowers. If I don't have to return them I don't have to pay for a double order in which case we don't need 10 buyers. We'll be good to go with what we've got.

This is very big news (at least for me). This means the blowers will be on their way shortly (pending the final sale of the previous headunits). Will the kits be done in the next week? No. I'm having trouble getting any word back from wagner, which is par for the course. What it does mean though is that I've overcome a BIG hurdle in finishing these up.

I'm not a company or manufacturer like Wagner or Hiboost I'm a singular guy who is building something never before created from scratch in my off time. I've gone through so many changes from start to now. When you want to go fully custom on something like this you have to be willing to bend and go with it. I know the wait has been stupid long but I'm not over here sitting on my thumbs or anything. I'm busting my *** so you can have a custom supercharger kit for less than $2K. Have you even seen how much SC kits sell for nowadays?? If you want a kit finished instantly. I will absolutely get it done for you but you will be paying out the *** for it. Send me another $4K and I can rush everything, single order custom handmade parts and pay for overnight shipping on everything. If you want a nice kit that produce good power and won't break the bank you're going to have be very patient.

Everyone is sick of waiting for this. I'm probably most sick of the wait. However, no'one has complained to me but you. And not once have you ever come to me privately on AIM and tried to work this out with me. You come online and you demand your money back when I'm doing you a favor. Do you not remember when you were BEGGING me to get you on the list? Even though I'm wasting my time and money to build a kit for you and not making ONE CENT (actually losing money)...you come on and have the ***** to demand your money back...you make sick dude.

I'll think about your request. If these blowers don't all sell soon then you're getting a blower and a case of ATF fluid and the remainder of your money.



On a side not. I'm sick of sticking my neck and wallet out for the protege community. I'm not doing anything else. No new projects. I'm so sick and tired of bending over backwards for people and having them try to **** on me.
