never bought from him but I have witnessed the crap he sells first hand, my homie here in Arizona bought his crap.
You know, Tim LIVES in Arizona.

I will pack my car full and show Tim what's up, give him a rude awakening of his own.

I posted on there but obviously it takes a minute or two for it to post up so Ill just tell you guys what I wrote, btw I replied to someone who said "Theres no update for the i4 kit, what about the v6 kit?":
Prepare to wait a while..
Let me tell you guys something..Tim's kits arent as great as they seem. I bought one secondhand from someone for my RD2 and I had to do a lot of customizations in order for it to fit. I made a thread on RD Tib about it if you guys want to check it out. Now I dont know how Tim is now, but I guarentee you there will still probably be fitment issues. For those of you who want to get or are getting his kit, think twice because later on youll probably wish you had waited for kit that will fit perfectly.
I dont care if they ban me for saying that..people should know to not bow down to this guy.

No IP for him, Java deleted his account.

when i get a chance, i am going to try and post a HUGE, lengthly post, and try and get rd00tibby to post with me.. we were some of the last people, as far as i know to buy tims crap, and it was CRAP..
my exhaust had to be lowered to clear the oil pan about 1.5".. the exhaust was 12" too long. yes it stuck out of the bumper a whole foot.
my intercooler piping had to be extended 3" here, 2" there, 2" there, and 3" there.. basically had to redo the whole IC piping..
tim assured me it would be fine to tap the oil from where i did, and my oil return line was low enough.. result.. blown turbo..
it took me forever to receive the whole kit, and i still needed to buy some couplers that he didnt include.
the intake for the turbo didnt have a tap for the IAC so i had to janky tap it myself.
i also had to clock the turbo, which u think tim would be able to do since hes selling the kit for a specific car, or his turbo guy coulda clocked it.
had to grind a corner off my turbo manifold so i could slide it on without dealing taking the power steering off, and the clearences for bolts were so tight, i ground off edges on the nuts. i also had to send manifold back to get cleaned up.
no hangers were welded or came with the exhaust.

WOAHHH!!!
BIG UPDATE HERE GUYS...
I was just contacted by one of our Fellow Boosted Tiburon owners, and they did some research (Seems Tim owes them a new turbo and is doing the ignore deal...), and found THIS.
http://www.turboelements.com/
That's right, it's Tim's new site, and his new victims? Honda owners.
How do we know it's Tim???
Easy.

He's got NO posts saying anything about Hyundai, none about his Elantra, and none about anything reguarding us.
He is avoiding using his last name, and has changed his phone #'s.
Enjoy.
BTW, before he gets all pissed, I had this info before the person that gave it to me talked to Tim on AOL last night. I just held it from posting until their conversation was finished.
