Well my engine is at their place right now, and its been there since end of Feb. 06. They haven't even touched it yet, everything is still sitting where i left them. RS Motors, i call them but they never call back so its not good customer service. any other place please advise. Thanks |

RS seems to be pretty good. My buddy with his turboed 7th gen is having his motor built there and he hasn't had any problems with them. I have heard that they are usually very busy so they don't call back or answer their phones much though.
Isn't TY off White Bear? -------------------- -Brad
