Hey Jeremy, looks like I'm not the only one disappointed. I mentioned to the other party they need to post up their experience. Seems as if Ken is taking payment, not coming through, and out having fun in his Ferrari. I had alot of respect for Ken and his up front professionalism. Come to find out it was all just a front.

Thanks Jeremy, I appreciate you listening to my bickering and answering back my phone calls and texts. I'm sorry for ordering this kit, but it's too late.

[SIZE=1]Hello,I'm one of the few that ordered a Peakboost Turbo Kit for my S2000. I've done lots of research & was debating on purchasing an Inline Pro Stage 2 turbo kit, or the Peakboost Turbo Kit. I inquired about the Peakboost Kit and spoke with Ken Peak himself. I felt like I could trust his word with ordering my kit and receiving it in a timely manner (6-8 weeks.) I felt at ease while conversating with Ken Peak and all my questions and concerns were all answered with no second guessing about the product or service. I ordered my Peakboost Turbo kit on Jan 12th. I was excited about the Peak kit and couldn't wait to finally receive my kit and finish up my project car. After waiting 6-8 weeks, I was anxious and called Ken to check status of shipment. He mentioned problems with HPC coating company did not do a good job coating and had some parts redone. Part of the kit arrived in June, and when it arrived the "coating" that took so long to have done was all scratched up on the manifold and misc parts. The packaging that the parts arrived in were poorly packaged and looked like they were just laying around the shop and they used them to ship the parts I did receive. Ken mentioned he would refund the $150 for the manifold coating. I paid in full but am still waiting on the a/c relocation kit, test pipe, gaskets, misc bolts, intake tube, coolant feed lines for the upgraded GT35r turbo, and at least some picture for installation if not actual instructions and some odds and ends. I have been leaving voice mails and call on a regular basis but there is no answer and no return phone calls in regards to my missing parts. I've even left a message on facebook with no response. It was supposed to take 6 to 8 weeks to receive the "complete" kit. It took 5 months and many phone calls to receive any parts at all. I'm sure the money I paid has been spent already but where is my complete kit??? Why is it that when the kit was paid in full, my kit wasn't shipped in full. Since I've paid in full, I don't get follow ups on my remainder of parts, no call backs or replies to my voicemails or message sent. It's like he took my money and ran. I should have gone the Inline pro route like I was going to in the beginning. I mentioned to Ken my goal to have my car running and tuned by March. TOO LATE. Bottom line, why haven't I received the remainder of my kit and the $150 refund to barely compensate for my scratched up turbo manifold. As Ken knows, I've been really patient and understanding about the delay on shipment of parts due to intercooler anodizing, HPC coating issues, etc. After 7 months has passed, I've finally posted my issues with Ken Peak. Still waiting on my remainder of parts so I can drive my car in the winter, oh yay. Hey Ken, give me a call. I want to get my car running this year!!!!
WOW, that sucks!!!

Turbo looks massive. Is it larger then say the "average" turbo? Don't know a whole lot about sizes and such.

I'd send it all back. Call your bank or credit card company and say the product has been returned and they refuse to refund the money. Legally the bank has to give you the money. Of course I'd call and ask your bank first. I've done it before myself.

I already called my credit card company. They stated it's been over 90 days. Therefore, I can't get my money back. I would rather give all this back and buy an inline pro kit like I was in the beginning. Thanks for all the info, much appreciated.

Ken and PeakBoost have been catching alot of crap over on H-T, but i can assure you guys Ken and PeakBoost are going no where, they have been producing products for over 8 years, and are EXTREMELY busy right now, and very understaffed, this recession has hit everyone hard, and he has had to cut his workforce back quite a bit, again im not making excuses and i can see your frustration, but please know he will do everything in his power to take care of you......
