Anyone use turboimport.com?

Their prices seem to be awesome on some stuff. Anyone have some experience with them?

I bought a Greddy elbow from them. They aren't the quickest shippers, but they are legit.

I also bought a Greddy elbow from them. I thought the shipping time was average and I didn't have any problems.

I've bought parts from them over the past 3 years - never had any problems with them and they were quick to respond to emails.

IMO they suck at life... They like to tell you that parts are in stock when they are not. I had to wait 4-5 months for my clutch! I deliberately asked them if it was in stock. I called around trying to find a place that had one as everyone was out... I'm sure it wont happen to anyone else but I never get over any bad business practices.

Hmm... that sucks. When I asked if parts were in stock they were very honest with me. They even emailed me when they had them back in stock.

Well I figured I'd give em a shot with a greddy elbow since it's only $100. We'll start from there.

They are one of the best places I have dealt with.

I bought clutch 2000+$ of stuff from them. They always reply fast to emails ship fast and their prices are unbeatable, really.

Like I said, I was probably a rare occasion. I just posted in case someone else had a problem. I'm not telling anyone to not order from them. They definitely gave me the lowest price! I'm just giving feedback

I wouldn't give them another red cent, if they were the last parts supplier in the world, if I were you.

People who do things like that don't deserve to be in business. Little pisses me off more than greedy people who lie just to get your money.
