Bigger turbo on way! I hope! lol

I was quoted 2 weeks initially, but its now 2 months. I've called to check on progress, and have been quoted a further 2 weeks. I will be calling again after this period is up.

I'm not too frustrated at present, should I be? I'm unsure what is a reasonable time to wait for this sort of product as it's my first time purchasing custom pipework.

2 months! erm ya i would be unhappy with that! they should at least slash the price a bit, or give you some kind of freebie for your patience!

Yep, but you have to pay for quality fabricated parts from builders of Formula One headers.

I wish they were cheaper, but having been there and seen their creations its amazing what they can fabricate... Awesome skills they have, but you have to pay to use em.

 

[myk3]

yes i have to agree, that is the nicest manifold and DP i have seen for our motors!

and yes it is a shame about the price

That is a fantastic looking piece of kit there.

Rob, just remember, you do get what you pay for, stop doing a James and just order it, you know you will in the end anyway. Your getting a hand built piece of kit, that you know will fit, and do exactly what you want it to do. YOur only going to do it once, so you may as well buy the best, and do it right 1st time mate.
When you start to look at the price of buying indervidual parts, it is easy to see how the cost of stage 3 is normally £4000 plus.

Good on ya Rob finally gunna get more power no limp for you bud, bin reading though this thread and see stuff regarding the service from jbs. As some of you know I had the atp on my car with my turbo wot a plie of shite!! - may work for some but not for me, so both james and I decided to go with the equal-length manni from jbs. Wot a piece of kit, handle's the heat from the tubby with no probs, which is more than i can say for the atp. As for the service I received from jbs it was top notch, any time I had probs (with the atp) jbs were more than happy to sort this out at a time to suit me, not them. Looking at Bill's equal-length it is a work of art, but as Bill said they do cost alot of dosh. But if you don't go for that one Rob then jbs should be your next port of call as the're are spot on in my opinion.

cheers bezza sent jbs a message to see how much they would cost and what he can do for me, thanx for the advice appreciated, i suppose each one has their own opinions so will try and see what i get from them.
