Default I do not like posting bad things about people, but beware of XJR-0220

The unfortunate experience of four board members including myself necessitates this warning against buying parts from Chris who posts as XJR-0220.

After 9 long months of delays and excuses, most of the parts finally received had significant problems including:
- a 3.5" intake did not fit and the welds were sloppy. I've received PM's from other board members who had similar experiences.
- a "rebuilt" 5th gen supercharger with a 3 lb pulley arrived as a 3rd gen with no 3 lb. pulley,but a 1.7 pulley, and damaged rotors that appear gouged by a foreign metal object being chewed through the rotors.
- over $2500 of parts never arrived at all
- it was a frustrating experience for all involved and multiple other parts had fatal flaws, but no need post a whole laundry list here, you get he picture.

I'd really rather not to say something negative and I don't believe it was a result of ill intentions, but since I had recommended him to other board members who also had bad experiences, I feel I have no choice but to post this warning.

I also had a bad experince with him. I sent him a supercharger in good faith that he never paid for.He claims to have sent it back but that was over a year ago. Here is a link I found on him a while ago.

Thank you all for the responses, much appreciated.

We have many many members here, who deal with each other, swap parts, send tools f.o.c etc etc etc and generally help each other out.....Its simply amazing.

This is all based on trust and generally works very well.
