Whats up everyone? I just wanted to warn everyone about Truboost Performance. Recently I ordrerd some parts from them and I never recieved the parts. I tried to get tracking numbers and they wasn't able to give me one, and by the way the owner of Truboost works for UPS. I tried to get a refund and no luck. But I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on Truboost. Thanks

Never heard about them on other forums....as in I didn't know they existed until I saw this thread.

We might have another "Boost Designs" case on NICOs hands.....

I've removed the 8 other copies of this thread as it's no different than double posting anyother topic.

As always, lets keep this to actual customers with real information.

Took me a month and a half to get my boost gauge. I ordered it. called for the next 2 weeks and everyday they said it was being shipped it out that afternoon or was already in the mail. On the 3rd week I called back and find out that it was never shipped because there was no record of the sale and I was never charged. So I give them my info again. and abotu 2-3weeks later it shows up. Only thing good about the deal was the price.

a friend of mine installed a truboost kit on an srt4, it was a pretty cobbled together kit. it was missing a lot of hardware some parts were junk while others were decent. the turbo was way too big for the setup (sc60-1) which was way out of its efficiency range even at 24psi on the dyno. the technical support and instructions they offer were very poor and they know absolutley nothing , told the owner of the car that 680cc injectors would run and idle fine with no tune using a stock ecu. i was there durring most of the install and i can assure you that truboost is a pain to deal with and i would not recomend them.

holy god man, sorry to hear what you went through. half of that stuff was just blatant robbery and laziness. you were charged the higher prices and then given ssac stuff? i would definately seek legal action.
