Default my VECCO turbo kit experience

ok everyone i recently bought a kit from a place called vecco high performance (they have a web site) and for 1900 i am to say the least a little disappointed. when i got the kit everything in the box was completely unwrapped and just thrown into the box....although lots of the parts are high quality ( turbonetics t3t4, evo wastegate, etc) alot of the parts were missing...(turbo to mani bolts, wastegate to mani bolts, downpipe, dump tube, misc gaskets etc) and on top of that they sent me the completely wrong piping kit which i had to eventually cut to fit because they will not respond to my emails about all my missing parts, will not answer my phone calls either. so at the end of the day i paid for a nice looking kit and feel like i just pieced together another kit.....i DO NOT recommend dealing with VECCO high performance

And this is why you only buy quality, name brand kits. Not something from ebay, or a place that doesn't show up on a search on honda-tech.

See the vendors forum for good places to deal with.

IMO for a kit to be considered quality it would also have to be complete.

That sucks, but at the same time, I have said it over and over again..."You get what you pay for" and most of the time its true...

They screw yet you defend them? Classic case of the Honda-Tech 'I refuse to admit that I made a mistake' syndrome. LOL

Aren't Vecco and Treadstone the same company?

Vecco
Save yourself the headache and buy a peakboost, AFI, FUll Race kit.
In the long run it saves you more money/time and headache.

this is exactly why i bought a peakboost kit..any problem i had with my kit has been immediatly adressed with no questions asked. they have kick *** customer service. i always tell ppl its better to spend $3000 once than to spend $1000 3 times
