MP Racing??
I ordered a throttle body coolant bypass kit and never got it shipped. I then called them and they said they would ship out another kit...still never got it. I also double checked the address and Mark said he would ship another..still nothing. I have never had problems receiving items at my home address. The Original order was October 1st. When I talked to him he seemed really cool, however after this I will not be doing any more business with MP. I am thinking of just making the bypass myself...hard..thoughts?
Anyone ever had order or shipping problems with them. This is the first time I have ever ordered something and never got it. I left a voice mail and said I would pay for another and still nothing?

3/8" hose (emissions/fuel (non fuel injection hose, that stuff is overkill), and 2 hose clamps. 6-8" long. I sell a bypass kit as well but that is all there is to it. Any parts store can set you up.

It bypasses the line where coolant flows through the throttle body. The idea behind that is to heat up the air in winter, but really all it does is cut power.

It doesn't cut power. It doesn't gain power. The coolant flows through the lower intake, and there is a tube between the upper and lower with coolant in it. The kit is for using the TCE billet throttle body, which does not have coolant lines to connect with.

I waited a couple times forever for shipping. Especially with the pacesetter catback.... Works a lot better if you can get Mark on the phone- He will explain if something is amiss. (although he should be contacting you first lol)

Sounds like your best bet. I wasn't in a critical situation though. I got on here complaining about it and a lot of people stepped up and vouched for him so I don't know what the deal is. I do agree a business should be run more efficiently.

Read what I wrote in the PM. I am not stopping you from saying you have had bad service. However, you do not need to rant on and on in 5 differents saying "how freaking pissed off" you are. Just simply state "I have had bad service with him in the past and would not do business with him again" That is a fair warning to anybody who would be asking about doing business with him. |
