Default Those that were waiting on ScionSpeed

Just thought it was interesting that ScionSpeeds Turbo TC has an article on it, in this months Modified Mag, when there are people that were waiting on the ScionSpeed turbo, and still are waiting, and there are people that asked for their money back and had problems getting it. They aren't even in the front line when it comes to having turbo's in production for our cars, but yet they are featured.

it was featured becasue the owner of the car had a lot of $$ to dump into it.

The only reason they have that much money is from all the preorders. The preorder people are sponsoring their showcar.

Well, it was somewhat built already before the preorder offer, but I wouldn't be surprised now that some of that money is being used now to further do things with their show car.

They claimed there are four total running the prototype of their kit when they initially posted at YSTC. You've only heard of one?

Now no refunds until after they ship because the money is tied up in parts. I asked for a refund because it was taking too long.
