its when you need to "plain" the mounting surface (flange) to get it perfect flat and true. its done alot on heads and blocks for many reasons ( raise compression, true up a warped head, flaten the block, just a few examples. thats prolly all of em...lol)

Showing up at his house is a bad idea....

Remember the last time that happened? Todd claimed someone threatened his wife. Then it was revealed the guy that went to Todd's was an older gentleman and his wife I believe....

it's been over 2 weeks now since this manifold was being decked.

Can someone explain to me what decking the manifold means?
At least its not at the coaters?

taking time off in preperation...I dont' know if I'd say that's ENTIRELY Carbon's fault.

I'll tell you what, though...Todd told my boy his kit would be done a certain day. My buddy bought a plane ticket, flew down there, got to the shop and Todd said, "It's not done"
Um...WTF? You can't pick up a phone and say "don't buy your ticket and come down cause it's not done?"

oh...and that was not even the first completion date...

^^ daym.. seriously todd has to consider the situation of his customers.. if todd is busy trying to finish his deadline the customers too have their stuff of their own.. at least he tells his customers some updates so no further loss/inconvenience will be done at the customers side.. missed deadline itself causes frustrations, then because he doesnt communicate enough further damage will be done on his customers eg wasted time off, plane tickets, install shop schedule/dyno and many more.. these are not small matters...

sorry to hear you boy got screwed over so badly mr meaty? I really dunno why Todd keeps on trying to keep TT going, with the standpoint of a business. The damn thing is running like crap. He needs to finish up what is on his plate ( marcials kit, christians kit, ect..) and just close up shop for a little while and regroup. All this crap is bs for sure. He needs to get TT with some money in the bank because i'm sure TT has a bank account balance of $0.00. You can't really run a business if you have no money invested in it.

Exactly. When I got my clutch, flywheel, motor mounts and tune at PTuning, I had everything scheduled for a Friday night install/Saturday tune. They called me up and told me they weren't sure if the clutch would get in on time (supposed to get there on Friday). So we re-scheduled for the following week, because THEY were being responsible and making sure I (the customer) was happy, even if it meant waiting another week. How would that have went down if TT was running it? "yeah all your stuff is here and done"

Ptunings CS is superb... those guys have called to follow up anytime I've ordered anything from them... even when I ordered something as simple as a donut gasket, they called to ask if I recieved it and if the fit was up to par...

Not sure what ZPI did as their default, but you can use the same pan fitting we do.

Hey guys, give Todd a break. He has been working really hard on the twin turbo kit. (rolls eyes)

Be sure to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Todd is a compulsive liar and something needs to be done about his poor business practices.

dude honestly I feel sorry for the guy... he probably wanted to established his company really fast and took up way to many projects that he thought he could handle... the main reason christian is mad is all the false promise that he received from him. Todd should just drop all of the BS and tell him the TRUTH
