What the hell happened to VT engines? My comp has been down for 4 months and i JUST got another one. Can someone let me in on what happened? I was gonna start to price the stuff for my truck like i did with the e-fans and what not. I just started my career and i'm making alright cash now so i can afford some parts now. Is JDM the only one left now? You guys know any other places? BTW i'm in Houston now.

VT had a falling out due to bad business practice and inferior quality parts. There was a HUGE thread about it on Corral. FFS

Since you're in Houston, I recommend PSI Motorsports in Webster for all your Lightning stuff. They can build you an engine, do simple bolt on stuff, do all your tuning, whatever you need. Very good shop.

What was that??? Hope it wasn't Thomas's burnt up turbo kit....Fire tends to ruin things. Just curious man.

No it is, The piping and what not look good and its not ruined. Well, the wastegate was but thats all. I was in the process of cleaning it all up when I looked closley at the welds on the y-pipe and down pipe. SOME not all of them look like they turned a 5 year old loose with a MIG. And it may be that I'm too picky. Im not bashing or flaming PSI at all. Like I said it seems to be an isolated occurance.
