Good news, Phil contacted me today and refunded my money. Whether or not we are on good terms I don't know yet

/\ as stated in one of my first posts... I just hope all is well with him. I'm not too worried about when the parts get here, I've got time.. But the situation with paypal, and $1320 of my money being tied up because I can't get ahold of him sucks. I had to open a claim on paypal today to try to get it back. I literally talked to him a day before the first transaction, which was February 13th...and my accounts were all f'd up, tried it again on the 17th, same thing had my back up funding source and bank accounts backwards, and got charged again... then finally on the 22nd figured everything out with my bank, and that transaction went smooth... I'm still going to wait paitiently on my parts, but I can no longer wait paitiently for my money to be returned. Once again, I hope he's allright.

I understand the situation he is in... I couldn't imagine trying to do something on the side. Money is tight for me only because I'm investing in property that just so happens to be a hotel and restaurant... 25000sq ft owns me. I'll give him more time... now that I know the situation. I just hope that he still has my kit stocked

Update on L& It's been over 2 weeks now, and I have received no response from either Phil or the other Owner corresponding to my situation. I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place because I need to fix my truck as soon as possible, I did my part and made sure that he had everything in stock (when I could get a hold of Phil), and he even offered to help me out by throwing in a Idler Arm Bracket which I need as well, at no charge... but as soon as I sent payment (3 times because of a situation with paypal, that I screwed up on, but easily fixed by a denial of payment, a total of $1980 being held up), no response. Basically here are my options, have no money for bills because I have $1320 tied up in paypal. Or I file a claim to get the money back. I don't want to do that because I know that Phil is a good guy, and makes a great product. It just seems I'm in the wrong place at the right time. I called paypal today, and they said all they can do is e-mail him, and then if no response, file a claim.. seems like my choices are limited... What would you guys do?

Any word on Phil??? I still haven't recieved an e-mail or pm back concerning my orders, and it's been almost two weeks. I'm more concerned for himself than for my order. I hope everything is all right.

Anybody know what's going on with L&P Performance? Their site is down and I've been trying to get a hold of phil on this board, usually he answers my pms the same day, I haven't been able to get a hold of him for 2 weeks. Just a bit worried because I recently moved, and my paypal account is all screwed up and I ended up sending him payment twice and I have no way of getting a hold of him to cancel one of the orders... I know a lot of people stand behind their reputation, and I respect that and can't wait to get the product in. Does anybody have a number or e-mail that I can reach one of them directly at? Thanks Jake

Thanks for the info I only ask because I've already been in a couple situations where I opened the hood and noticed that the muddy water mark was almost level with the air cleaner holder... I meant vg30i.. late night post. So it sounds like basically I have to fabricate a custom airbox on top of the tbi with a fitted airfilter, and the plumb out from there? Possibly to a arb wd21 snorkel? Sounds feasible..

Anybody have a write up on these?? I've seen a couple, but have heard that they're not compatible with the tbi?? Any link to a diy snorkel, or aftermarket would be awesome
