If you end up with doubles of everything I'm sure it'll be pretty easy to return or I would even consider purchasing it, although I wanna go ms3

Had a spare ten minutes... could it be this guy? Seems there's at least one or two not-so-stellar reviews of his business practices...

Yeah. That's the guy. I actually did a pretty good deal of cyber-stalking. It's a guy that apparently was an engineer for Garrett. I really have no clue where he is now.

He's also on Twitter:

http://twitter.com/#!/BoostEngrng/

and LinkedIn:

http://www.linkedin.com/in/briangregnier

Looks like he's been dropped from the preferred vendors list in the MegaManual:

Matt Cramer works for DIYAutoTune and is a great resource for assistance, etc.

Sorry to hear you're having issues. I know from experience that DIYAutoTune is a very good vendor to work with and I'm sure between PayPal and/or your Credit Card that things will get worked out monetarily.

Yeah I spoke to Matt about it. Guess it's not surprising to see people having similar issues with Boost Engineering.

Pretty disappointing having that couple week setback from the get-go though :/

The megamanual section on EDIS is where I had heard about Boost Engineering, and it does look like they've removed the link now after people have been reporting him not filling orders.

Really weird, though, that his PayPal account could still be accepting funds with so many complaints. Usually, they put a lock down on stuff like that. Whatever you do, be sure to file complaints / chargebacks with BOTH PayPal and your own credit card company.

Well according to Paypal I'll be refunded if the guy doesn't respond to the claim by Wednesday.

I had paid directly from my checking account through Paypal, so I can't send a credit card company on him. :/

Looks like Paypal will get this sorted out for me though, luckily.
