Not as far as I know. FocusSport was builing a total ground up Turbo kit to be sold by FS themselves.

Tom may be spendy, but it takes the guess work out of it for somebody that doesn't want to F*** around with piecing one together. He'll back up his S*** too, tuning and all

I heard his service is less then desirable, the manifolds crack, a lot, even after a re-weld and anohter re-weld, one guy on FJ said he got about 3500 miles on the manifold, cracked twice.

I have also heard that in order for his turbo kits to really produce the power he advertises, you need a very high octane fuel.

I have seen his posts on FF and, honestly, I wouldn't trust him with my bicycle. He comes off, to me, as really childish.

I don't know his history down to the T, but, from what I seen, I don't trust him, he couldn't even pay his sponorship fee for FJ that he commited to, that, to me, just shows that he does not have the follow through that I would want when I am spendking 5k+ on a turbo kit.

I would also bet he outsources most of the work, that is why his stuff costs so much, he needs to line his pocket.

I had a guy email me about a Turbo kit when I was asking ?s on FJ. The guy emailed me, and I did'nt answer, he got pissed and bitched at me cuz I did'nt email him, and I'm a fucking idiot cuz I'm wasting money and ruining the car. It was pretty funny. I never did email the prick back.
The guy signed the email "Tom"

I think this classifies as being the single most hilarious post in this entire thread.

Oh oh I wanna see the email.

If it was indeed turbo tom that emailed you, you should post the email up on FF where that slime bag hangs out, put it up and be like an email I got from a "respectible" vendor. When all his blinded fans ask who it was, tell them.

Get the IP from that email and let an admin from FJ know, then, they will *hopefully* ban his IP.

There is a rumor he is using Randy, from Mcnews account, to log in and post/sell stuff.

I don't post on FF. I really don't care. I already have my SC kit, so I really don't care. But if you want, and I still have the emails I think, I can maybe post them here.

Ok, Spring is SLOWLY approaching, and I'm steadily getting more and more parts...LOL
Newest Obtained Parts:
Rear Euro Bumper Fog Lights
SVT Radio Bezel (from a totaled car with smashed windshield, so I sanded it down, then wetsanded, and then polished it)
Right Mirror Cap (going for SVT style)
And I bought a HVAC controls. And was attempting to make them glo blue to match my Speedhuts. But ruined them...LOL So I havd to start over

So I have Gidget, all the parts and gadgets in that box in the middle. If you notice, the box is busting at the seams and bulging on the sides LOL

My (really dusty)CF hood is on the other side of my room. (This one from HotRodWagon)

And in the other room, my dad's rims I just sold him, my old grille I messing with, and my Big3 grounding kit

If your wondering why there is only 3 rims, well, he got a flat tire, and instead of running his donut, he did'nt want to ruin the factory original donut, so I had to take one of his rims done to where he was and change out the flat. The other rim is in the garage still.

Is prob better that way...I can't see installing a porportioning valve being fun, at all.

Hells YES I did!!! $115 apiece! There is a better pic of them on page 3 of this thread.( They look alot better in person!)

Discount Tire. Right next to Buffalo Wild Wings. I've had 2 sets mounted there. And so has my dad. They even fixed his flat for free, even tho the rims, nor tires where from there, but because I bought a set of tires from them and had acouple sets mounted.
