Thanks, John, I'm glad you didn't lock it. I am curious to hear personal experiences with these coolers, as Josh has been very helpful via e-mail and over the phone.

I too am interested in pictures and reviews of this since I am in the market for one very soon. What type of core is this Josh and how does it differ from the ones IRC or Victory sells with their kits? I believe I read a thread not too long ago where Ken actually compliments this core and said it is a design they too will be carrying very soon, although don't hold me to this, Ken can verify.

Thanks


Followup: I should read the complete thread before replying to any posts, sorry I see the pics now.

well, I just got 7 manifolds in today and 7 20G's....Figure about 5-10 days before shipping. If you want to send me a $200 deposit I can order the setup now and you can pay me the rest when it is ready to ship. thanks!

 

[darksideracing]

Ken did compliment our core and say that it is the same core that they will be using in their new race core they sell.. it is an extruded tube and fin design that I have custom made. I am not sure how the Victory Performance core compares to ours because I dont have any photos or specs on them. The reason we can offer the kit at suck a low price is because we go straight to the manufacturer and eliminate the middle men. I will have the DSR28 installed on my new car sometime in the next week or so with once my new turbo is finished. I will have the same setup that will sell to everyone so you will see what it looks like. I will be running it with a Blue Tial Blow Off Valve and almost chrome powdercoated piping...

NosLaser: pump was shipped. thanks

 

[blackawdturbo]

DSR, you have a PM.

Thanks

Ok people, just to keep info practical, this IS Manny. In this thread

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=397656#post397656

The galant VR4 Hes refering to is My friend Brandons. And His friend...sorta...Manny also posts as HardSpoolin GSX. He has a bone to pick with DSR that is quite foolish, He tried to rip them off, got caught up, and now is tryign to get revenge for his own idiocy.

to answear your questions: the spearco 2-120 is the street core (24x8x3.5). and the spearco 2-216 is the race core (28x10.5x3.5). ive heard of that fellow ripping off everyone. his kits sold for 800 dollars i believe and he used intercooler cores that he built and welded. looks like he wasnt welding for that long ive seen the intercoolers. if you have any doubt on the FMIC's i am willing to send you video pictures from any angle you request and send it escrow if i have to. i want to make sure that whomever is buying me intercooler kits knows exactly what they are getting and are pleased and get no unexpected surprises when the kit arrives. im willing to go the extra mile to gain my customs confidence if needed. there is too much shady shit out in the world and i am not a full time business so i must make my customer feel as safe as possible.

let me know a couple weeks in advance when you are ready to order the fmic so i can get the ball rolling on the intercooler.

HAHA Thats pretty amusing man. I might add that Temecula California is 20 minutes north of his real house. Im going to hafta say that anyone buying from southern california check SDDSM or the SoCal DSM list for verification that it is not Manny before buying anything. Its unfortuneate to ask that but what can we do?

On a side note, i am selling a Spearco street core from irc with custom GHETTO piping and couplers and TB elbow for 600. Ic is a little bent on bottom but ran me into the 11's fine. =)

Darkside Racing is a RIP OFF!! I tried to buy a 20g turbo off Josh a while back and was nice and eager to receive my cash so he could "get my order on the way" I told him I had blown my stock turbo and was in need of one asap. He promised he could have it done and ready by next week as long as i put a deposit down. Well i did and my turbo went from next week, to two weeks, to a month and a half. He also promised me a ported 02 housing, a manual boost controller that he would give me having to wait a month and a half longer than expected. To make my already long story shorter i did finally receive "a" turbo which was not the one i originally ordered, no receipt, no boost controller, or housing. He was all nice and friendly before he received half of my money as a down payment, after that I always got his voicemail and stupid excuses that his phone broke... I would not recommend him to anyone.

 

[darksideracing]

Let me tell on this one. You ordered a 20G from us a very long time ago(over a year perhaps). At the time I was getting my turbos from Slow Boy Racing. You ordered a 20G only. Slow Boy was having trouble getting the turbo so I told you I would throw in a Slow Boy Boost Controller for your turbo because it was taking awhile.
After it was still not done you told me you needed an 02 Housing...So I told you I would throw one in.... It was still a pain in the ass to get the turbo so I talked to Mike Huml to see what he had in stock....
He had an SBR G50 which goes for way more than a 20G and I presented this offer to you to take the SBR G50 instead of the 20G Deal with the boost controller and O2 Housing. You were happy as all hell once I sent you the pictures of the turbo. And in your post below you state that you got "a" turbo but you made it sound like you got a 16G or something. You took the offer and thanked me. Then 6-8 months later you file with your credit card company and they removed all the money you paid me from my Paypal account. I dont understand how we are a bad company if we got you a much better turbo for the same money. If you want an 02 Housing or Boost Controller I will send you one.

I am not going to make this into a big grudge match but when I was shopping around for turbos and I got into contact with you I specifically told you that I had blown my stock turbo and I needed on asap to get my car running. You assured me that you could have one out to me by the next week as long as you got a deposit, (which i did put down). The only reason i took that SBR50 was because i was desperate for a turbo to get my car running. And i did not ask for the boost controller or 02 housing, you said you would hook me up with it for having to wait a month and a half for my turbo instead of a week. I had no mode of transportation for almost 2 months because I trusted in you. I could of had a turbo from busher or HRC sent out to me in a week, but i made the mistake of trying to save a couple of bucks and go through you.

 

[peregrine]

ok josh. i didnt want to bring this up here in public but you have not answered my 3 emails. my buddy ordered a front mount kit from you over a year ago. he paid you in full with a money order (his mistake). he never got his front mount kit or his money back. he tried to contact you for months to no avail. he has no access to a computer so im here to hound you for his satisfaction. his name was edwin, from reno nevada. it was your company no mistake. please resolve this with me asap. thats a lot of money to kiss goodbye. john

 

[darksideracing]

He was shipped his intercooler and then called and told me he never received it. UPS comfirmed that it had been delivered and signed for after their investigation. What am I supposed to do when they tell me it was delivered and signed for.....If it was not signed for then I could see but it was signed for and there is nothing I can do

 

[blackawdturbo]

Guys,

Can we take this stuff offline and stick to performance related discussions please. Otherwise please lock this thread. I am curious to hear reviews on the intercooler despite all the bantering back and forth.

Thanks

I agree. I don't see what is so hard about picking up the phone, shooting an e-mail, or PMs.....I just think people need the "back up" of other people who are equally impaired in dealing with people.

 

[red91tsiawd]

actually keep going. i wanna see how many ppl have been takin by him and thats y i made this. i didn't really care for reviews caus i knew they would come. larry and john are good guys and know what i'm looking for. back in the day i even asked john if he knew about em but he didn't so i had to put up a post to see

I think prospective buyers have the right to know how their product, customer service, and reliability stand up. Just dont want any fellow dsmers to get screwed like me.

 

[darksideracing]

I dont see how you can say you got screwed...... You got a much better turbo for a low price... You seemed happy as all hell when you got it. thanks!

tru... hey darkside, can i pay you for a 16g, but wait like 2 months and get a SBR G50 instead? pleeze? heh

 

[pneumo]

OH NO! Poor baby, got a SBR50 and only paid for a 20G. WAH! The SBR50 is much better than the 20G.
People, please figure out how to listen to the answers that vendors give you. If he says the turbo isn't in stock but should be ready in two weeks, that mean he doesn't have it yet. If you need it Right Now! then get one that is actually in stock. Why order something that isn't in stock when you need it quick?

How do you know what the hell he told me on the phone? Were you listening on the other line?? I dont think so, so dont state nothing you know nothing about. I specifically told him that i needed it asap, that was the reason i went through him because he assured me that he would have it for sure by next week. I know what he said on the phone, or else i would have gone through someone else. Common do you really think I would even try to get a turbo from someone who told me that "its not in stockat the moment" when I desperetly needed a turbo?

Yea sounds like a deal!! Oh wait let me add in the rental car fees i had to pay so i could get to work and school for a month and a half. Trying paying for that ace and see whats the better deal.
