I guess maybe I missed your ordeal in your threads. Sorry. Please elaborate as I'm once again in the market for a turbo ZX14 and/or adding a turbo to the 14 I already have. Thanks.

Sounds like you should have got a bottle of Astroglide as part of your "fabricated" kit deal. I can't stand scumbags who do not do what they say they are going to do, and find a dozen things that you "also" need which they forgot to mention.... Hope whoever it is that he makes it right! Good luck man, I do not know the details but have a feeling I have been there also with similar projects.

Ok this guy fabs headers or should I say use to for a few diff turbo builders well I guess he got cheap and started using subpar metal and half assing the welds,my header broke at the flange last year with very few runs on it, the dealer had me send it back and he welded it and sent it back overnite no charge! this season I made 5 passes and stated to hear an exhaust leak well this time it crack in a few diff places , called the fab guy no answer or return calls text him and few days later he sent me a text to send picts I did ,haven't heard from him since.Andrew pearse is his name and he used to own a company called F.A.S.T IN OHIO,

That sucks.... I would suggest getting brand name stuff from a well respected manufacturer. Then again we are talking about racing stuff and they might not warranty it. Too bad Brock's doesn't make this kind of stuff, you know it would be good quality with a company that stands behind everything they make....
What are your options at this point? What do you need to do in order to get your header fixed? Or must it be replaced at this point?

I moved to Ohio a little over a year ago... In that time I have never heard one positive thing about him and/or his "turbo systems". He got ahold of a brand new 2012 ZX-14R and after having it for months it blew up on it's maiden voyage.
Sorry that you got hooked up with the wrong person, I'm not sure you'll get any response/result that you're looking for from him.
From what I've heard.

just like those BST wheels .
I've owned and operated just about every turbo kit made over the years and only had 1 header that never crack .it was made from heavy wall stainless not the thin crap most builders use..

Thank you Seno,
It's not easy to excel in business, but the aftermarket motorcycle performance industry can exceptionally difficult, because the the results are often base on personal opinion.
The best we can do is honestly care about the needs of our customers, and hold true to our Mission Statement: At Brock’s Performance, we strive to lead in the innovation, research and development, manufacturing and distribution of performance components and associated information in the motorcycle industry. We translate our products and knowledge into value for our customers by offering unsurpassed customer service combined with comprehensive solutions to our customers’ needs.
I believe we do this better than anyone else, and the messages we receive via PM, facebook and e-mail, along with our continued growth in this down economy help me believe that others agree. Are we perfect? Certainly not, but that just helps us find clearer goals to achieve in the future.
Once again, thank you for the kind words, I will pass them on to my staff.
