took them 4 months to send me mine, did have small fit ment issue between manifold and exhaust part of turbo but I went to a machine shop to flatten it out and it's fit's good, the down pipe they gave me was a piece of crap though. vband didn't and doesn't seal correctly with the band they supplied, had to make my own.

hmmm, first off, make sure the manifold fits (mine didnt), make sure they give a oil return line that fits (mine blew up a couple of weeks ago), and the turbo have smoked since, fd3boost's downpipe doesnt fit, and has not fit after 3 tries. ummmmm i ordered mine initially in march last year and didnt get the kit til august.... they say they sell you a garrett turbo, but in reality it is not. some type of generic cheap turbo. downpipe is mild steel,
ron and mark's customer service was horrible, between may and august i was given the run around that my downpipe and mainfold were at jet hot, (which eventually peeled).
so yeah.... good luck with your kit, i hope it doesnt turn out as bad as mine

they fixed all of what problems? im sure if they knew taht the silicone hose and the weird angled flanges would blow, they would have surely sent me a replacement right? i mean justin is taking the oil return line from his car so i can try it on mine.... of course thats because the poeple in the shop didnt bother enough to give a ****. and oh yeah that was almost 1 month ago, and i still havent seen it by the way.
you're better off assembling your own kit rather than buying from such a shadey establishment such as DaVinci. at least if you assemble your own kit you know where you are getting the parts and the quality that you're getting.

i appreciate your sorries in behalf of that company, but most of my kits downfalls were not "bad luck". it all has to do with lying, not throughly thinking about what they were doing, and a lot of cheap parts.
even the justin (supposedly a part owner of the shop) agrees with me on my claims

I agree, It was a cheap kit and I got exactly what I payed for. Wastegate was junk. I had to buy an authentic HKS unit, Downpipe was a nightmare. I think Justin and them got it right this last time. Took two tries, however I can see how problems could arise when the car is not in shop for the mock up. Although it seems like other companies such as Aspec and gotham seem to know how to avoid those pitfalls. Oil line needs to be replaced as well. Oh and I was not shipped any of the mounting hardware, well i did get two bolts. I did have to have the manifold (which is the same as EBAY) machined flat. Lastly I never did get a Vband with the kit even though it was advertised that I would. I really appreciated all the help I got from Justin, if it were not for him I would have had to pay to get the down pipe re-made all together. I would suggest that unless they are a local shop and you can go in and deal with them face to face it would be better to just avoid their turbo "kits" because the fact is they have a LONG way to go before they are a simple bolt in and tune kit.
