I have all 3 parts that you have mentioned. I have yet to install the parts since I am still currently working on my engine. The parts are great and most of all they have great customer service. Did you talk with Ryan at UMI?

I have dealt with UMI, I mentioned to them that thirdgen.org had some good info about them and they should look into a sponsorship.

This was there Response: "I have been in contact with them in interest of sponsoring there site, but the response I had gotten was that they were full and not accepting anymore sponsors"

How can a company support a site that doest allow anymore supporting? I also think it is good to support the sponsors, but because a company is not a sponsor we should not deal with them? That seems a bit harsh...

Maybe it might have something to do with that there is another sponsor on here that already sells what you sell...........

That is just my opinion though.
