yes, they are one of the OG companies that had given the 1uzfe motor some support.

Read nothing but good things from their own forum and website about it. How much research did you do before you bought the kit?

Default I had problems with them a few years ago.

I had problems with them a few years ago. Didn't hear from them for weeks until I started hassling them. Got a lot of excuses until I opened a PayPal dispute then all of a sudden the parts were available and on the way. Haven't ordered anything since.

I've ordered from them. The owner has health issues, and so he has been behind on everything.

I was under the impression that he was on a break from anything parts-related. Did you purchase after communicating with him or buy directly from the lextreme website ?

Just passing this on. I have a friend who got a machine shop to make 6 copies of the bracket.

Sweetrt69@hotmail.com

He's not on clublexus. He owns an sc400 with rush headers and he's putting a procharger on his.

He's selling the brackets for $200. Last I heard Mr Lextreme was taking a break due to health issues so if u can't get the bracket through Lextreme you can try my buddy and I'll vouch for him.
