Making a dollar on the lowest cost ---- you can find (garbage) only leads you to throw the garbage in the box and get it gone. Although it's not an excuse for him, if you want something, pay for it. That's the only way it's going to work.
When I was selling purosil I cut it on a bandsaw. I threw away more than I actually shipped because cutting it is a bitch, and half of them weren't worthy of showing up with my name on them. It takes more than a website with flashy pictures to give your "company" the image it's going to need to survive.
I'd say in the ----- vs. quality U-bend market, LSD Mike is probably the safest bet.

chris, I never sent you any money, but I expect one of your throttlebodies asap or I'm going to start bitching about your business practices. I don't want to hear any of that, "you get what you pay for," horseshit either.

. The local machinist bores and modifies the shaft for $40. Supply your own parts. Wes found an OEM 65mm throttle blade off of something, he thinks Oddessy, but can't remember. Turned out pretty well.

Re: Westcoast-Turbo, are you kidding me?!?
Thanks for the love guys!
When it comes down to everybody selling the same stuff and trying to out------ each other to gain a name, customer service is all that's left. We take our customer service very seriously. We have lost a lot of money on different occasions, because we refuse to screw our customers.
As for charge piping kits, I was disappointed to see other businesses come in and really cut the bottom out of the charge piping kit market. And at the time WestCoast joined in, I decided that we would not be a part of that price war. I had hoped that providing a quality kit, and backing it up with excellent customer service would be enough.
Although I am not in the habit of takling poorly of other businesses, it that is how your charge piping kit arrived, then you have a right to complain about what you revceived. If a company has cut the price so close that they can't even package the product correclty, then we probably won't have to worry about that company being around for a long time. Nobody wants to open their package and see a bunch of jumbled up parts all tossed in where they can bang together. So what if it's just steel pipe and rubber connectors, the customer has a right to feel like their purchased product meant something to the seller.
Rant Off,
Craig

I agree with you on the points you are making, Craig, but the OP is an inexperienced kid with a sandy vaj. He needs to stfu n00b and get his hands dirty learning, instead of lamenting to the greater part of the internet for hours + hours.

........everyone has it, and everyone is willing to ----- it out, which is fine, but that's not a long term business strategy.

Re: Westcoast-Turbo, are you kidding me?!?
Sheeeeit... that kit looks fine to me. When I ordered my charge piping kit I made all the cuts myself, with a sawzall in my hands and the pipe supported between my feet because I lack proper cutting tools (chopsaw) and pipe holding fixtures (vice). My cuts are all crooked and chinky but all that's covered up with the couplers
edit: I didn't get my kit from westcoast turbo by the way. I'm just sayin that when you buy a cheap piping kit, don't expect no bling blang blaow. So what if the kit they sent you has tape on some pipes? or your couplers aren't cut perfectly? It's a cheap kit that will do what you bought it to do. You get what you paid for.
