OK.......we're waiting for Mr. Lecker to say those 3 magic words from customers........"I AM SATISFIED".....

And you're lucky his name is Lecker and not Lecter, or else by now you'd be stewing in his pot and fertilizer in his backyard.......

Personally I would start a campaign to make it so that anytime someone googles Fastlane that the entire 1st page of results was this story. Not hard to do if you know how.
go to google.com and type in fastlane turbo kit review and this fourm review is the first one there

Yep..but to own the 1st page of results you need to be on 10 different websites that have the authority to rank well.

The more and more i think about the design flaws the more and more i dont like the kit. Tuning it is a pain because both your o2 sensors are inline on the downpipe so they read the same numbers so idk if one side of the motors leaner than the other or vise versa. And on top of that theres no 02 sensor BEFORE the wastegate so when that opens up and lets the exhaust air out its gonna read leaner numbers because the exhaust is venting into the atmosphere before it can be monitored.

Guys- just for the record we are really trying to address Mr. Lecker's concerns.As far as the review is concerned, I want to remind everyone that it is from one individual, installing our kit for the first time. We are a Customer Service business and we are humans and I freely admit to some shortcomings in the delivery of the kit. So please keep in mind (before trying to generate lawsuits and BBB complaints.)Our BBB record is spotless as is our Legal history

1. This was the first 2010 Camaro Turbo Kit and is still the only one built using ALL Made in the USA components with the BEST turbo manufacturer (Borg Warner)
2. Fastlane Customers won the first 2 Camaro Shootouts (LSX 2009 and C5 Fest)
3. Camaro Now Magazine Covered an install of this kit-favorably.
4. Paul Tracy drove a Fastlane Camaro with the turbo kit and flogged it for 3 days on Battle of the Supercars (although we did get outrun top speed-another story lol)
5. Several of these turbo cars get brutalized at the Texas Mile twice a year

I am guessing that NONE of that matters to the OP.

Just a hunch.

Guys, I wouldn't normally interject into threads that don't pertain to our products but I want to clarify one thing, the crew at Fastlane have always been a class act. I spoke with Nick, who is the owner, specifically about this matter At this point his every intention is to do right by the customer. I've known Nick and crew for years and have seen their operation and attention to detail first hand. Quite a few amazing builds have come out of their shop. My son Lou actually worked there while in school at SAM's and even he knows it not like them to allow for an unhappy customer. They clearly admitted there's something not right but will work to make things right. Let's give them a chance. I know they'll come thru. Thanks.

Nick
