Thank you for the info about the welding of the BOV flange. I can get it done locally more cost effectively, so that is the route I'm going to take. Thank you.

I got my adjustable mounts in today and damn they look good. They look like just what I need. I'll have to wait to try them out but I think they just might work. I'll post some pics of them as soon as I can.

its been over two months since we paid for them. and I agree, I dont mind the wait too much, but it sounded like we were going to get them two fridays ago, and nothing much has happened. Im literally only waiting on this for my car to be up and running. I would like to get to drive it once before I have to put it away for winter.
It didnt sound like much was left to be done when we heard from Logan last time, so hopefully these will be sent out very soon.

+3 getting it a bit late is fine with me, as well, but I believe we deserve to hear what's going on with it at least.

Seems like group buy #2 is getting the run around........This was the same with g.b #1 too. Hopefully everything turns out fine. IMO after recieving the kit. The total job of fabbing and welding should only take about 2 weeks, especially it's not the first time around making it....

Hey my apologies, this group buy is not getting the run around. Our shop computer is out of service at the moment, and I am not at home every night to get online. Made giving some updates harder than normal.

It will be any time now on these v-mounts, I had a customer who has patiently waited for a very long time for a 20b intake to be finished and tested. So the past week and a half I've been building and going to the dyno. Didnt have as much time leftover as I wanted to finish these kits. This week is back to normal however, so you guys will have good news I promise. Trying to keep all our customers happy

Group buy #1 still going to get a/c brackets. I know its been forever long, but you have my word you will get them!

Thank you for the update, Logan. Will the A/C brackets be shipping with this batch of kits for those who ordered them?

Thanks for the update Logan. Is there possible time frame you have in mind? I'd like to let me shop know so they can set aside the time to work on it as they have moved onto some other projects in the interm.

I'd really like a firm commitment on when we'd get these as my tuner's been asking when we can move forward and finish the project . I know things are incredibly busy with you Logan, but if you could at least let us know what the schedule will be like, we could do some planning on our end.

This "it should be ready sometime this week" is getting kind of old. I think we are owed a straight answer. I'm more upset when I feel as if I'm being led on with the constant "it will be ready, it will be ready" rather than the honest "we will ship them in 3 weeks on date xx/xx".

I think this group, as a whole, has been exceedingly patient. We paid for this back in August. I mean honestly, we were told a 4-6 week wait.

Yes you guys have been very patient, obviously we are over our original timeframe. I try to make dates realistic and also mentioned there is a certain amount of understanding things do not go as planned. And things did not go as planned. We send our apologies!

I have 5 kits about ready to send out. Before I send them, I want to re-verify a few things-

These are the only two that mentioned stock fan usage-

David (Turbo 8)

Marat (The Rush)

The rest are listed as single fan. If anyone else wants to use stock fan please let me know before thursday.

These are the three that wanted tow hook modification-

David (turbo 8)
Joshua (renkenyo)
Scott (sp_amend)

Two wanted the hot pipe for stock twins-

Sheldon carry
Scott (sp_amend)

Let me know if there is someone who desired something that wasnt listed.
I have a detailed list of a/c brackets and n-flow etc. Only needed to verify the info above. Thanks guys!

Thank you, Logan. Yes, I still plan on using stock fans, I need the tow hook modification, and I also paid extra for A/C condenser brackets. Will the A/C brackets be shipping with the kit?

Okay cool. I might have a lower hose solution that helps ground clearance when using stock fans. And yes a/c brackets will be shipped with the kits that ordered it
