I've ordered a garret o2 housing form this guy the 5 bolt ford flange for the 2G DSM now i've e-maile him my order and he e-mailed me back saying order recieved we'll get it out ASAP. and it's been a while now and no e-mail and when I call I get a recording. Any body ordered from here before. What's the normal turn around time and orders? don'e want to get screwed.

What, exactly is "a while"? Two days, two weeks, two months?

It took me one and half month to get my O2 housing from them. That was after calling them every week. He always say that it will be out next week or waiting for parts. He does good welding but the product fit shitty on my PTE 56trim to my ATR exhuast. I would never order from them again. The only reason I order from them was because RRE sent me that direction. The biggest mistake of my life and I spent 1200 dollars in one shot at this place. I wish you the best of luck on getting your product on time.

I had to refabricate a Victory FMIC because of poor design. The welds kept breaking from flexing because too thin of material was used to make it. Only running 28psi through it.

The stainless weld's I've seen them do are great, aluminum is not the best though. I bought a used a fmic built my them with a big crack in an endtank and I could not believe how thin the material for the endtanks was :eek: ...

Also seem's like follow through with shipping is becoming an ever growing problem with Victory.

I've been blown off twice now by VP. I need new AL mandrel bent pipes for the FMIC I bought from them back in '03. I guess I'm going to have to order from another business. Any one know where you can buy mandrel bent AL pipes for a good price?

I can't really say about the sales experience with them since I got my tubular o2 housing used, but it by far one of the nices units out there. I haven't had a single problem with my o2 housing.

I had ordered a 5-bolt o2 housing from them also. It took me about 5-6 weeks before the part finally came. Mine's did not come with any bolts, however. Now that I have considered doing a completely different turbo setup, I have no use for the housing. The housing itself looks nice, but the service with Victory Performance IMO, leaves alot to be desired...

VP while having very nice products have always been slow getting their stuff out. This is not news. A quick search on the forum would have informed you of this little fact.

I could have sworn that I have posted a review about them in the Vendors Review forum.
