well, ordered my deluxe stage 1 kit last week (they did away with the 220 shipped kit), got it in in 3 days and im excited to open it up and install it to go to the track and its missing 3 parts. the 10 amp fuse, fuse holder and wire. granite i did get the $50 clog detector nozzle thrown in for free but still. So i call dave up and am like i didnt get these 3 items so he says alright ill send them out, that was friday, its now wednesday night at 11:00pm and i see nothing so far. So im reading random posts on my local forum i go on and i see someone who bought the EXACT kit but said dave sold it to him for 275 shipped and i got mine for 318 shipped. He claims dave is very neogotible and thats how he got it down that cheap. im very displeased with this, i thought coolingmist was supposed to be a good kit but i guess its just some junk kit thrown together in someones basement like i thought. Correct me if im overreacting anyone.
I'd give it a few more days.....figure he shipped the stuff out friday/saturday...maybe even not until Monday..........so really its had about 3 days to get there maybe........just give it a few more days and then go from there.........
And I've never had any problems with coolingmist..I love my kit and have ordered other little things from him and got them quickly....but I also live closer to them than you do(Florida)...
Car is for Sale!Supercharger kit is for sale!
Well yeah, its overreacting...
You contacted him Friday, might not have gotten around to it friday (maybe he has a job?), so lets say it went out Monday. Takes 3-5 days normally for something to go through USPS, which is what I would have shipped it.
Now, you got a $50 part for free, yet you complain that you spent $40 more than somebody else? Did that person get the $50 free too, or are you still making out $10 ahead?
And the system isn't junk because it was made in a garage. It doesn't have to be a corporate product for it to work well. You'd be surprised at the amount of stuff you buy that is run through somebodies home or garage. If the system works as designed, and isn't burning out, defective parts, poor quality, etc, who cares it was made in somebodies basement?

if someone else paid 275 for something u paid 318 for, then that other person is a better businessman than you are.

how the @!#$ do you claim the guys a better business man than i am, i see a set price on a website and thats what i pay for the product, you dont see me ordering something from karo and asking him to take $50 less do you? no because its a company price not something im bidding on. also yes, the guy did get that clog detector thrown in with it. I just talked to the guy and he to is missing a few parts he says. HPT pro is $650, are can i get it for $300? probally not. About the "who cares if its made in somebodys basement", dave told me on the phone out of nowhere i guess giving me a sales pitch that these kits arent made in someones basement or home so thats why i commented on that.
Does it work though?
Thats really all that matters in the end. For all I care, my turbo could have been put together in a Malaysian sweatshop by an 8 year old with 7 fingers, as long as it works, its a quality product in my eyes.

^^Now that's some funny @!#$ right there
there is nothing wrong with the kit itself... i have the kit and it works perfectly...
you got a fifty dollar part for free and you are missing a fuse and a wire, you can find that at radio shack or walmart for under 5 bucks or just wire it to a fuse on your car
i dont think a missing fuse is a good enough reason to say the whole kit or coolingmist sucks at all, i have the coolingmist kit, and i have not had any problems with it, install was a breeze, iats dropped, knock disappears, works just as described

when i pay for something i like to see it come with EVERYTHING it should regaurdless of how petty the part or parts missing are especially when i find out a guy locally bought the same kit at 48 bucks cheaper. oh well the parts better be here by friday or mr david will be hearing from me in a not so calm matter.
Wow...
Remind me not to sell to you. Forget to put a fuse and a wire in the box, and suddenly whatever I sell is junk?
I'm going to be doing a tuning business here in the next week or two, which I will be running from my desk... does that mean my tunes are junk?
You still never answered us, did the guy who got the other kit also get the $50 free part, or are you still making out ahead?

haha
i have his basic set up (all you need) for 2 years. ya added a little onto it(actavation led,quick connect/disconnect fitting like on the enginerun up stuff) he worked with me when i had a install ?s. He sent me the wrong boost switch . i ordered the 1-4 psi one and got the 1-25psi one( he stopped selling the 1-4). clearly i could have turned down the switch, but i was too lazy. so he sent me the correct one.
anyways, seems like someone has sand in their vagina.

But dude, you need to calm down. So what he forgot 5 bucks in parts. Parts that can easily be picked up locally if your in a hurry. And hes making good on it as of right now. You barely gave him a chance to send the damn parts to you. And you know what, we are dealing with small business owners who are trying to make a good name for themselves, im sure most of them are willing to bend the prices a little bit here and there if you talk to them. I sure as hell never would for you if you asked...
be against me all you want ladies but fact of the matter is, whether the kits are made in a actual production line or in a back of a house, how hard is it to include the right parts and the neogotiating part is just unreal because prices are prices, i dont expect my graphic design clients to ask for me to change my prices and throw in some extra junk which probally isnt costing him much to give away anyway so i wouldnt expect any company to do that as well. the guy who i mentioned before now says that that boost switch is junk so he got another one to replace it, so this is lovely also. i pay for something and i want it shipped, ready to be installed with no setbacks, thats all i ask and most of the people here against it have little shops of their own it seems so am i in no way against you nor myself for having a home based business, i just stated that david told me these kits arent made in someones basement or house and come to find out they are so did he really have to lie about that to impress me? certianly not.
i had no issues with my boost switch. so one idiot who cant figure it out means the thousands of switches he sold will automatically be junk and so will yours? get real.
sucks about missing parts,but at least you can get a hold of him and he is fixing the problem. give the dude a break, what else you want from him?
i dont understand the whole purpose of this post. i can see if you were missing parts, been a month and you cant get ahold of him. that isnt the case , you were missing a part, called him up, he is sending you one. problem solved. ... . . .
gawd dam freakin cry over TWO DOLLARS worth of dam parts
the fact your friend was smart enough to talk the guy down , doesnt mean you got ripped off
just means you were freakin stupid , and you shoulda asked your friend about it first , atleast he was smart enough to talk with the guy , and work him on the price , he gets 2 thumbs up in my book
chit happens man , sometime small stuff doesnt get added while boxing stuff up , maybe the guy boxin it was doing your just before he got bad new , or had to take a dump , or got a quickie bj behind the building , and forgot toss the 2.00 parts in the box BFD
ive bought from cooling mist , and not 1 problem
yeah it sucks you didnt get 2.00 in parts , but they wouldnt stop a normal person from installing the kit
Before you go saying he lied to you, hold up. Noone said he does it out of his basement.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
so im not a normal person cause im bitching about missing parts from a kit? i do all my work on my engine myself with help of my father unlike most of you here who take it to mechanics and such, yes the JBO has helped me over the years but whenever someone has a opinion about something you guys get all fueled up. theres only a handful of good guys here doing some nice things with turbo and supercharger applications and the good ones as the ones who always get bashed on for doing things their way, the rest of you have nothing to show for being as opinionated to attatck someone bashing a company that a handful of people have had good experiance with. now im done bickering so ill sit and watch this thread grow more against me.
Its not that we're attacking you because you have an opinion, its that you came out and said the kit was junk, and you haven't even installed it yet. You could have said something like "disappointed with coolingmist customer service", but you went right to "junk". You haven't even put it on, and you have 3 guys in here who have coolingmist kits and are extremely happy with them.
And now, that we've told you that you are overreacting (which is what you had asked in the first place), you start attacking the posters personally? This post had nothing to do with who works on who's cars and whatnot, but for some reason, you, without knowing anything about most of us, say we don't work on our own cars. You are overreacting, and being backed into a corner, you're lashing out against us who are giving you our opinions, which you asked for.
Its rediculous, grow up. So maybe Dave lied to you (or maybe he didn't, you still don't know for sure where he puts his kits together). You are jumping to conclusions and you haven't even tried the product. You've formed an opinion that its trash because you paid more than somebody else, so what?

Dude how old are you. Your responses sound like there coming out of a 3 year olds mouth. DOesnt really have a good argument so just ignores what everyone has told him and lashes out.
I mean even big companies that have people who do everything for them, forget parts sometimes. Its part of life. He so far hasnt given you a problem about it. Jesus you didnt even give him an ample amount of time to send the parts out.
And sence you and your dad do everything your selves you should really just be able to go to radio shack and get your 5 bucks in parts and shut the hell up about it.
Point is, you bashed his business, you get mad because we yelled at you about your opinion, yet thats what your doing to us, yelling at us for our opinions. Pot..meet kettle.
You havent installed the kit so you really dont know the build quality. So what right do you have to talk @!#$ about the whole kit? NONE!
And yeah seriously quit bitching about the @!#$ price. Is it his advertised price? Then you didnt get ripped off. Ill say it again sence its obviously not sinking in.
This is a small business trying to make it big. There going to do what they can to help people out. You just went right ahead and ordered it up, while the other guy talked to the Owner and got him to drop the price....do you live under a rock? Its a common business practice.
the parts, most likely, arent made in some ones basement. but he have have oredered all those parts seperately and grouped them together as a kit for sale. now keeping track of mulitple orders and people wanting different groups of parts, maybe he didnt write it down, or misread something.
if everything comes to him in a box, and he just re-ships it then its really not his fault either, unless you expect him to open every package and check them, which would cost hime time and money, and most people would complain about packages looking pre-opened, which makes them think their @!#$ is used.
junk = pump didnt last 2 times of use
missing parts = mistake
worste part is it was CHEAP PARTS missing
yeah i was rough on you , but think about what you post before you post it
we all know chit happens wire and a fuse are not super vital parts , you can get the parts from any auto parts store or stereo shop , and move on with the project and not have to wait
yes you had a right to be a disapointed , but this post wasnt needed to be done this way
he got your call said he would send it , for regular mail ive had stuff take over a week , and it prob took him a day or 2 to process the order , and get it sent out , depending on when his mail picks up (same with fedex ups)
and if you havent called back just to double check when it went out , that would be on you , now if you tried and cant get ahold of him , maybe he has a personal issue he had to take care of (ie... being sick , family member being sick , death in the family)
bottom line , you were outta line , you asked to be corrected , you bashed other people and got bashed back
