Sean finally got back to me. Looks like I might be getting my turbo soon. Woot. He seems really busy, been having problems with electricity and his dyno apparently.

Did Sean call you back?

I've been blowing up their phones like a maniac recently, but so far no response. My kit is close yet so far... a couple parts needs to be finalized and I obviously can't continue without them

I spoke with him today and yesterday. He's tied up with some Porsche projects and an FC build for about 4-5 weeks.

This is the number I've used (630)-825-0333.

Update: He hasn't responded to any of my 'update' emails since I sent him my money for a 6266 kit, smh. It's only been 5 weeks though so I'm sure I've got at least another season to wait based on other people's experiences. Oh well, as long as he follows through I won't fuss too much.

You've gone 5 weeks without any type of response?

Close to two weeks, placed the order about 5 weeks ago. As long as I wasn't asking for 'any updates' I've gotten responses rather quickly. Racing season is right around the corner though so I'm sure his work has picked up a lot.

Through email. One of his technicians bailed out on him right in the middle of working on several jobs to work for another shop so Sean is left to pick up the slack. Thus, why he's falling behind on contacting people.

That is true, his main fabricator/welder Tony left him in a lurch. It's unfortunate because he welded my V-mount and turbo kit not too long ago and they came out very nice....

I have been messaging someone from Apec tuning and believed it was Sean. He is one of a kind and has gained full respect from me. If you cant trust a hard man at work like him you simply cant trust anyone. Hard to find nice people like him these days willing to do things that are out of his way.

I just wanted to add in as well that Sean does come through. You have to be patient, but I guess that's just part of the game. He has been quite responsive over emails, so try that if you have not already.

Just chiming in, I got all my stuff I ordered from A-spec. He's a good guy that just got caught up in some circumstances one after the other.

I heard from him in the middle of last week that my 6266 setup was finished and ready for coating. Waiting for a response to a couple of questions, and him to let me know its ready for shipping so I can pay him.

Any time you are waiting for something you want, time seems to drag by.

But once you get it the waiting doesn't seems as bad.

We too had a seemingly endless wait for a 6266 kit from A-Spec.

It did finally arrive and is very nice indeed.

Certainly worth waiting for.

Awesome, have you made it to the dyno with the 6266 yet?

So I'm on email 4 with no response in close to a month or more. Anyone who has heard from him, what method did you use? I'm disappointed that I even have to ask that question.

Great products, long wait and mostly poor communication.

FYI, for those who are interested. He did answer my phone call and we are back on track, he must be behind on his emails.
