^^ Apparently, my home ISP can't create a new member on the other forum because it seems it has been globally banned and I can't create one from work due to restrictions. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could verify the above for us! Thanks!

I looked into punishment through other forums. They seem to be good. They only have people complaining about the bov pipe being a little to long. But if you just adjust the pipe, it apparently works. I haven't found anything else out.

If you want to ask if they have fixed these kinds of issues there site has an email for general technical troubles.

GENERAL QUESTIONS:
TC@PUNISHMENT-RACING.COM

I don't have a login to the sites either so Im unable to post for you.

Thanks, Jay. I'll drop them an email shortly and will post the response for reference.

No problem. Hopefully you get some answers your looking for.

Good luck with the email, they are nothing short of glacial in their response.

lol, Haven't heard anyone use that term in a while.

If you check out there info for the front mount kit. http://www.punishment-racing.com/1gstreetcoreintercoolerkit.html

at the bottom "This kit is guaranteed for fitment, quality and function, you will not be disappointed"

Im sure they are prepared to stand behind it.

EDIT: that is all the more information I have seen on there front mounts.

I just dropped PR an email on our behalf and will include the correspondence in this post in its entirety, including my initial request for clarification, when it returns.

Ok guys, getting down to the wire.

Please confirm whether or not you are in. Deadline is next Friday.

Ryan Laliberte: 1G Aluminum Rad with Fans.

2: Jay McClelland: Budget Mitsu flanged tubular manifold, J-pipe
3: Randy Kuiperij: Mild steel O2 housing

Ok guys, so what we are saying is we have THREE people now in on this group buy? What happened?

PLEASE UPDATE! 50% of payment or better MUST be made to Ziggy by FRIDAY!!

Make it 4; Sending Ziggy 3 bills tomorrow when he confirms me in on this.

4: Luis Arenas: 1g fmic kit

I have not put a lot of effort into this.....I have Randy's deposit. I am ready to place a one time order from PR. I hope there are more than the 4....I will be a little embarassed after telling Extreme I would be placing a "large" order if he was willing to get me stuff on his PR account...

Luis, send the money. I will order whatever has been confirmed by Friday...

You'll get my money on Friday Ziggy.

I have yet to hear anything from PR in response to my questions which has a huge impact on my downpayment. I have sent them two emails at this point and haven't even received a confirmation yet. At least I know the address worked because it didn't bounce back... Maybe someone here has direct contact with the company and can see what the deal is?

I tried calling them a while back, but nobody picked up the phone.

Same here, which is why I thought someone may have been in touch with them other than through their listed business line... Frustrating!

Strange, I ordered the GT35R Power Package from Punishment in December and while it took a while to ship (he had to wait for the turbo to come in), he always responded to my e-mails, and answered the phone when I called.

Also a friend of mine recently ordered a J-pipe from them a few weeks back and received it a few days ago, no issues there either.

Whether or not that was the case then, it does not seem to be now. I have yet to hear from them and I believe it's been over two weeks now.

I wrote them an email asking if they can make a pre cut on the uicp for a maft and Tom (i think his name was) replied to me the next day.

I would shoot them another email if I were you, or maybe your email server blocked it, try adding him to your address book.

Also if it's the worry about the bov flange being too high I've read on DSMTALK of people not having any issues with it, so I'm guessing the issue was fixed.

Luis

I've just sent my third email to them and included both tc and sales email addresses at Punishment Racing. Hopefully they reply before the payment deadline. . .

I just called Tim at Punishment Racing. He's the owner and apologized for the delay in responding due to this being one of the busiest times of the year for his company. In any case, Tim has assured me that the FMIC Kit should be a fairly straightforward install and also gave me a heads up that a fully redesigned kit will be coming out in a few weeks including a modified UIC pipe that he hopes will allow for a Greddy OR stock BOV to be used. Tim says that the new version of the pipe should be made available to those of us who own the older version at a fair price.

In any case, I'm sending Ziggy a PM to make payment arrangements.

It's not over Manny, as long as you get the deposit in time.

He can match PR price CAD. That's what we're told anyway.

$775. Order is going in Monday morning, I would need a 50% deposit before then

So, when would we expect things to be in? I assume the week after the rest of the $$ is in?

I will know much more after placing the order on Monday....

Would it be too late to add a manifold to the order Ziggy?

I just noticed mine is cracked beyond repair and I need a replacement a.s.a.p.

Budget T3 manifold flanged for a 38mm wastegate.

P.S. I left you a voice message just in case

Order has been placed, but am awaiting a response. I wouldn't do this for just anyone, but will try to add it for my good friend and customer...

Wow, what a guy!

Most of our communication has been by email rather than by phone, but order is placed and paid for INCLUDING Miguel's manifold. He said "The parts will be shipped in a couple different batches." Not sure why, but as stuff arrives, I will contact to make arrangements for shipping or pickup, payment of balances, etc. Gates, he didn't want to take payment for your FMIC kit until he actually has them, but as soon as they are ready, he will let me know and we can place your order.

thanks again,
Ziggy
