Default Westcoast-Turbo, are you kidding me?!?

So I got referred to these guys through someone on here, and it's been nothing but a nightmare. I ordered some charge piping from them, which on their site, appeared to be brand new with quality cuts and bents. Well, it took over a month to ship my piping, and this is the kind of ---- I finally recieved this morning...

Nice packaging, couldnt find a box that fit?...

So much for "brand new piping." Looks like this ***** been used for years..


The U-bends are NOT U-bends, rather two 45's coupled together. The cuts on the piping are sloppy as hell, and dont even get me started on the couplers... Theres tape and ---- all over the pipes, the clamps are cheap, etc etc etc... I am so disappointed right now it's sickening.

Thanks a lot westcoast-turbo, for really putting a damper on my mood towards boosting. Oh well, what else can I do but suck it up and work to make the ---- look/fit good.

In conclusion, I have learned that www.westcoast-turbo.com is nothing but a joke, and I WILL NEVER recommend them to anyone...ever

well, I would have if I wasnt a noob and knew exactly what I was looking for and needed. Unfortunately this is my first time boosting. I was looking for something very close to "ready to use" and this was the most complete looking kit I found.

And yes, it came just like that, no peanuts, no news paper, nothing...

....I know that it will still work, I'm simply trying to give an accurate dipiction of how this company works, so that no one else will have to deal with the ---- I dealt with.

And yes, my plan has been to paint the piping black from the get-go, but thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully I can work on that this weekend

Looks new to me, can`t really expect too much for the price. On top of that shipping peanut or any kinda of stuffing will up the cost but i would stuff it with newspaper at least. COupler looks fine, the exact same ---- i had on my car. but they do get stiff and slide off

SHould have buy CDM bolt-on kit from me :P
