Any one of the sponsors in the sponsor marketplace are good people to buy from.

There are a few used tial gates for sale in the forced induction section in the classified section in the marketplace. Most of the new stuff I have purchased has come from phearable.net and nolimitmotorsport.com They are both great vendors that are sponsors in the marketplace also.

He won' get screwed on shipping. Shipping costs have gone WAY up insured items. Most places will not allow an "undervalue" for insurance because if it gets lost the vendor is on the hook for replacement. No business is going to put themselves under because a customer wants to cut costs on proper shipping.

OP will be fine.

That's because they use standard UPS and not USPS any more even as an option. JHPUSA is a rare example, in which even I stopped being a patron after over 13 years of going through them.

You'll find that shops / stores will have less "stock" as time goes on here. Several of the major companies are dealing with a massive backorder right now. plus, as costs go up, it will be call for order...

That is very true but, as of now what I do is look at the quantity that show how many is available and email then first to see if it actually in stock available on their shelf befor ordering that just my .02 that I use and so far never had an issue with parts delaying, back order, and or call to order unless specify on their advertisement.

That's good. For FI major components, (Turbos, Wastegates, fabricated components, etc) shelf stock is going down..
