you f-ed yourself last time man.
that being said, i feel you have the skills and know-how to produce great products. you just took on more than you could spit out and rushed them. this resulted in some poor fitting parts that you then had to fix which just created extra hassle for the customer and you. im sure that played a part in the extra delay for the new orders you got too. i don't care if it's a one man show. if you make a promise on the order times, they should be kept. if a manifold cant be produced and shipped within two weeks, extend the time to 4 weeks. honesty is more important than anything in this business when dealing with a community that has been screwed over so many times before. yours wasn't up to par the first time around.
people don't want to deal with bullsh*t when they spend $500 on something. i know most setups are different and that throws measuring off. if you aren't positive it will fit 100% correctly, don't sell it.
fact is, we need all the turbo options we can get. you seem pretty devoted to the crooked h, and to wanting to make parts for us. go about in a much more structured manner, with guaranteed shipping times(along with updates every couple days or so) and parts that fit spot on, and maybe i'll even end up buying something from you one day.
i voted yes.

I recommend you do them first... THEN sell them..
People here will bite..
No one in the aftermarket hyundai business has a strong hold on turbo manifold sales.
Make 5 manifolds..
The first person that bites.. Have them pay for ground shipping, but chip in a bit from your OWN pocket and pay for 2-3 day air.
If the consumer receives the product WAY ahead of time.. they will be thrilled. They will come back here and leave outstanding feedback.. Do that a couple of more times to improve the image and to keep the anxious and unpatient consumer happy.
Through that.. youll sell the rest of them.
If not.. theres always ebay...

I think you should send one to one of our boosted members to test. Think of it as investing in advertising. If you get support from this site you'll probably sell more than if you don't get support.
