IMO, and no I'm not wrong because it's just that - an opinion, at $10k+ for a kit plus labor costs if you want it warrantied and whatever other fees on top to fix the tweaks, it shouldn't take 6 MONTHS to get it fitting or running like OEM.

Again, it's JMHO and I personally will wait to see what other's experiences are both short term and long term.

I hope it's more positive things about the kit. So far it seems the best and worst things about the kit are it's service. On one hand people are getting shipped kits with missing parts consistently and on the other Roman gets great praise for doing the right thing and fixing errors ASAP. So while its disconcerting that people are getting incomplete kits and waiting weeks for a full kit to arrive, it's nice to see that at least when something goes wrong the issue is taken care of and not pushed to the side.

Which all leads back to.. The jury is still out.
i can only give you my experience, going from vt1 to vt2, ive never had issues like iphone......i work very hard for my money so im insulted you should ask if i got a "free kit" what a dickhead comment to make?? lol you may get by in life on freebies but i pay my way sir :-)

now back to the kit....... again my kit has been great, any issues ive had has been from my installers imo..... because of the way i am, i basically stripped the car down, noting any area where it can be improved, i then moved, modded, added parts, measured clearances..... it did take me months to get it how i wanted but then again im a perfectionist...... The key here is install, the install was done poorly i have no doubt in my mind, look back at ALL my recommendations and the issues iphone is seeing ive pretty much mentioned them all ;-) Leaving the crank pulley out was a stupid error though........

but imo ess has been great.... cant fault them or the kit..... im a very happy customer... ill be buying a kit for the v8 m3 soon :-)
