i smell some fishy business
SCAM!

 

where are these guys located? 905 area code seems like ontario canada??

 

Sorry to hear this. There are a few similar posts about Blown6. Do a search and PM the original posters. One of them did get some sort of resolution. Perhaps his information can help you.

 

I was one of the folks who got resolution by finally getting the product. I had email contact with the owner Michael...and the business is in Canada, not Europe. I also had email contact with another forum member who lives near the business, and he dropped by to talk to them....I can't recall who he was, but I could look in my email archives and see if I can find him. I know that in the beginning, B6 had some fitment problems and they had to replace a number of the 930 intercoolers. Thats what happened with mine and I did finally get a replacement and sent my original back with an RMA from B6 who paid the costs of the return. The replacement didn't fit right either and it ended up costing me about $500 to get the mount tabs re-welded and re-drilled so that the holes lined up properly. As time went on, folks started getting excuses and no products....then being told the intercoolers were shipped, but never arrived. (As appears to be happening here) As far as I know, they're still selling the larger intercoolers for the 996TT, but never did resolve the fitment issues for the 930 intercoolers...so they still appear to be manufacturing some products, and I see some advertising in the Porsche magazines. I believe that some of the vendors who advertise on these forums may be selling the B6 products....perhaps one of them will step up with better contact info. It's becoming more apparent that B6 is ignoring a lot of the inquiries....stalling for time? Perhaps on the verge of going under.

 

thx for your interest guys!
I'm trying to get a contact with them to resolve the problem, but it's very hard...
If someone is near them or know them, it would be a chance for me!
I only want them to be serious and honest!
If bad news, I will tell you, but if good too, I'm not here to kill them. (for the moment! lol)

 

Ah, too bad- I know a guy that will kneecap anyone in the US just for the plane fare, dinner and a hotel- he likes the travel...


But seriously- with alot of these 'vendor issues' it seems a common thread is (a) wire transfer (or other full payment) and (b) different country.... it seems some questionable shops that aren't totally 'toes up' will let these long distant scams just slide...

 

I don't have any parts shipped without being insured.

 

But insurance only kicks in once a package is 'tendered' to the carrier.

 

Really, this is totally unacceptable. The only way to stop this stuff is to pay the extra and get the better units from Evoms, Awe, and whomever else makes a good reasonably priced one. Boycott these guys and force them to man up.

 

I know there's some real hard feelings going on here about B6 and Michael...but I have to say...as a single voice in the middle of the mob....that although there has been a steady decline in the PR and business practices of B6...if you go back in previous archived threads, Michael has usually come thru. So Michael, I know you periodically peruse the threads....step up to the plate Michael and make good for the guys who had faith in your product and entered into the transactions with the best of intentions and expectations. Don't let your business go down the drain by ignoring folks who you know have paid you in good faith. If you're going to throw in the towel, at least let folks know that you're filing for bankruptcy....or that you intend to make good on the outstanding IOU's.

I've stuck up for you in the past Michael....how about coming back with some positive action and do the right thing? We all know that times are tough...but at least take care of your old customers and don't continue to take any orders till then.

 

Good luck! They still owe me $1600USD after over a year since returning super defective intercoolers from them...

 

I wanted to buy the inter cooler for the 993 tt , but after reading the forums I will rather pay the premium and go with FVD.
Hope you will get your money back.

 

You need to do a few searches on 993 TT Intercoolers over at Rennlist before spending that money.
There is a mountain of FACTUAL information.

 

sorry to hear that

Anyone want to file joint fraud charges? Anyone know an attorney that can handle these types of cases when it deals with international orders since they are based out of Canada?

Here's some helpful information for Canadian based fraud:
