get off the puter and start putting that kit on the bike I know for a fact if we had of gone for that ride on the weekend that the kit would be already on your bike
You are one strong person Shane there is no way I could have a Turbo kit sitting there I would have to start bolting it on within a day or so

Evil, best bet to give them a call and see what they can do for you. Some of these guys dont check there Emails all that frequently, sounds strange but true. Most companies would also prefer to just to sell stateside than international, less hassle.
Have you contacted anyone on the list Bill put up, he was genuine when he posted that info. Unfortunately I wont be able to help out.
Not sure were the unreliable tag for these kits come from but that hasnt been the case from what I have seen and the parts are all known good quality, especially the ones mentioned here.
A few of us have had Ghetto Kits now for long periods of time, many klms and many trips down the strip. Most problems you see are from either poor fitment or people being greedy with power. Sure the the motors will deteriate over time and will need a freshen up sooner than a stocko but its all relative.
These US companies probably sell more turbo Kits than they sell full exhausts here in OZ, small exaggeration but the reputable ones do know what they are doing.
Good luck with what you decide in your Turbo quest

Call Velocity or RCC it will save you a mountain or time and a probably a bucket load of money over building your own (mistakes are expensive).
They are both proven reliable kits that will not give you any trouble.
PayPal it over and stop ya sooking ya starting to sound like a Kwaka owner

Evil, don't take this the wrong way but, if turbos were cheap and easy then everyone would have one!!!
Have a go at making your own, the hardware you'll find at the end was the easy part, the tune up is the key, get that wrong and thats were the dollars really start to add up.
If you still decide to buy a kit then I'd suggest a well known supplier, RCC, NLR etc if you cannot get hold of them on the phone then cross them off. You may end up paying a bit extra, but at least you'll have a working kit with some backup not a pile of rubbish without any help.

Good luck mate. I think you may need it. Plenty here have been burnt by both suppliers.
