Title: On 3 Performance anyone actually have one?
Post by: canadiancarguy on October 05, 2011, 06:47:41 PM
Just wondering if anyone actually HAS one of these kits on their car. I paid for my kit over a month ago still not shipped and they were supposed to be in stock!! It is like pulling teeth dealing with these guys.

"On 3" Make fox body turbo kits, they're quite popular and great value for money

make a threatening phone call or email, tell them you've already contacted your attorney.. demand your money back or the parts you ordered.. then report them to the better business bureau and contact an attorney if they doesn't get you anywhere.. i've noticed a lot of smaller companies doing this lately and frankly it's total BS.. if you're going to take legal action, you want to do it quickly before they can declare bankruptcy

Good luck with it. They are notorious for lousey customer service. You get what you pay for, well unless of course you never receive it.

Did you ACTUALLY pay for it, like funds totally cleared/complete transaction and excepted by them? If so I'd be making some serious noise.

Yeah, the money has gone through. I emailed and said that I would be wanting my money back if the kit isn't shipped by friday. If I don't get my money back on friday or a tracking number or proof of shipping, I will be getting paypal to get my money back.

Well got the kit shipped out Friday. Had to use ups even though I paid extra for USPS. He upgraded the turbo to a T67 for free so I guess that is good, been hearing lots of the chinese turbos blowing up after a few thousand miles....

I had a chinese turbo last..... 2 HOURS... under normal driving conditions.  It was hooked up properly with all the correct fittings.  I even had the boost really low just in case.  At 10 psi the seals blew and shot a load of oil out of my exhaust.  I will never buy a chinese turbo again.

A friend of mine over here has a China eBay spec turbo on his 5.0 EF Falcon, the thing spooled loud as hell, managed 225ish rwkw and a mid 12 second pass (falcon's are heavy)
he's removed it now for a master power turbo, but it was still running.
i'm almost tempted to buy it off him cheap and see what it can do :P

There is a guy who put an On3 kit on a fox mustang vert on a local mustang site.

LONG thread, but tons of insight.

I got the kit FINALLY, the guy wouldn't send it til he got his custom cardboard boxes made up. I tell you it looks great! The quality of the parts look real decent. I'll try and get some shots if I can remember where I put my camera. It'll be awhile before the kit goes on, as he forgot to send the injectors and maf sensor!!!

I hope they perform as well as they look.  My chinese turbo was brand new and looked great.  Wish I could say the same about the performance.
