Be patient. I waited 12 weeks for my order. Everything worked great. It started on the first turn of the key (after proper wiring).

I just filed a paypal claim. has anyone had any luck getting their money back? he could have sent my lc-1 unit a long time ago, and no answer to emails. sorry pat, I had to.

[Pats16vGTI]

my paypal claim did nothing. Probably because it was from so long ago. its so dis heartening.

[broko]

mine is still within the 45 day range given by paypal. I ordered on may 1st. I started to get worried since the 3rd unanswered mail.

[ValveCoverGasket]

i have a day job.

wonder how word got out about that though

[Pats16vGTI]

its a shame isnt it. I dont know what makes people keep buying from him myself... 6 months ago when I ordered he still had a decent reputation. he even called me when I placed my order, and told me it would take him 2 weeks to get it done.

now 6 months later I need my money back so I can buy the o34motorsports efi

Apparently the above is not clear enough for everyone, so let me spell it out: - Where a customer has an on-going dispute with a distributor, we expect the distributor to acknowledge and work with the customer to whatever level the customer is willing. As a minimum, that means timely and frank emails or other contacts about the status of the customer's complaint, and the steps being taken to resolve it. - Ignoring the customer is never a satisfactory response. This will be taken as a de facto admission that the customer is correct is all their assertions. - Where a customer contacts Bruce, Al or I for assistance, we will side with the customer until we hear from the distributor (and possibly beyond, depending on the response). - We expect the distributor to give a full and frank account of the facts (including the original problem and the steps being taken to resolve it)within 48 hours maximum (ideally with 24 hours). - We have a responsibility to the users of the forum to act quickly to prevent potential problems originating with certain distributors. This means that distributors who do not participate in this finding of facts will very quickly lose their ability to post on this forum, their advertisement(s) in these forums, and any advertisement(s) they might have in the manual and/or FAQ. Posting any material on these forum is a privilege, and no-one has the right to an advertisement. The reinstatement of any or all of these are at the management's discretion, is subject to both a plausible promise of acceptable performance and the restitution of any costs involved in settling the customer's dispute. The bottom line is that customers must be able to trust distributors, and distributors are responsible for establishing and maintaining that trust. If we have to get involved, this indicates a very serious problem, and should be attended to immediately. Once we get involved, it is not enough simply to satisfy the customer, you must convince us that steps have been taken to ensure a similar situation will not occur again. Lance. Hope everything works out for everyone.

I sent a private message to those guys letting them know whats been happening. Hopefully, they have some sort of power to step in, and maybe stop allowing him to resell their product.

[gli_ryan]

diyautotune.com for the win. they have awesome support and ship very quickly, you'll have your product in less than a week. and they couldn't be more helpfull. Matt diagnosed my ms problem of shutting off from a datalog. They are the best hands down, i'll always buy from there

[Pats16vGTI]

i will have to look into them

[Pats16vGTI]

anyone hear from this guy yet?

[broko]

not yet. he did reply to my paypal complain with a tracking number but it says that it doesn't mean that usps has any package. we'll see how everything goes.

[OnTheRunDCI]

Just so everyone knows. My gargae mate has a full Megasquirt setup stting in out gargae for sale. It was on a 16V, can get more details tonight. From what I know it's the board, injectors, fuel rail (Bahn Brenner I think) a whold bunch of stuff.

P.S. can ship same day as paypal goes through.

[broko]

Well, just to let you guys know. I received my megasquirt setup & innovate wideband yesterday. thanks pat.

[ValveCoverGasket]

excellent!

now we just need a forum for pat customers to remind him to send them their stuff

[Pats16vGTI]

he has one on his website, but when me and a few others started a thread about it he deleted the post and baned us. very un-professional I seriously hope people still aren't putting in new orders.

[VWralley]

im only gonna post in this one more time...

just saw pattypoo last night, he just recieved a fresh order of ecu's and is continuing to sauder his days away to catch up on orders. he hasnt forgotten nor is he going to keep your money. he hasnt gotten to all the emails and likely hasnt seen the paypal claims...he'll get to you when he can

he still is recieving several emails a day from people tryin to place orders, he has shut off the ability to order through the site. his business isnt slowing down at all, even when customers are told up front it will be a minimum of a month wait
