did you pay for this via credit card on paypal? if so you should file a dispute through the credit card company or your bank, in which case he will need to respond to you... basically turn up the heat, once the credit card company or bank get involved, you will get a response... problem with pay pal is they really don't have much of an incentive to go after some one.. a bank or credit card company has dedicated resources and the law on their side.

Chris Williams

Didnt want to do it but here it goes.... Scammer of the year as well as a big con-artist- Chris Williams aka CWill. Cwill used to work for AWD and then went to work with ASAPerformance. Earlier this year CWill was tunning my stock block stock 9 turbo evo on e85 and my motor blew. Long story short after 5 MONTHS OF MY CAR SITTING AT HIS SHOP i finally got it back. When i got the car back he said that The transfercase is whinning because when the motor blew the piston shot into my tcase causing the whinning and scratching noise it was making. Anyway, my tcase had an Evo9 lsd in it (i had an evo 8) so since it was whinning and i got a good deal on a used tcase i sold my blown tcase with a EVO9 LSD in it to evom member Evokid03 for $300. Anyway, once he got it he seen that the tcase had no evo9 lsd in it. Long story short, CWill swapped my tcase that had a evo9 lsd in it with some blown tcase while my car was sitting in his shop for 5 months. How does your tcase blow from your motor blowing? hmm bever heard of that. Anyway long story short. DO NOT DEAL WITH CWILL (CHRIS WILLIAMS) oh and hes not part of ASAPerformance anymore..hmm wonder why? btw im sure when more people that where customers of his read this will agree with me.

Also your facts are wrong. My friends ruined cf vinyl wasnt applied until after my paypal claim was denied. Because there was no other options to pursue and we were stuck with a creased $135 sheet. Also my window tinter friend doesnt just do window tint. He does clear bra and colored vinyl wrapping and 3M di-noc. So please dont fool yourself if you think I took it to a shady installer.

Since seeing your reply with false and untrue statements, you are definitly a shady person. Cant believe your covering up for your mistakes like that with lies.
Don't know if I should get involved but if there's a problem with it let me know and I'll delete my post.

I have to agree with the seller on this one. The 3m di-noc material is very easy to use but can go very wrong if you apply too much heat. Creases come right out no matter how big,long the crease is. You can literally crumble it up with the backing removed and with a little heat will go back to original shape and be sticky enough to stick to the surface desired. Only way to really mess it up is if you apply too muc heat (which sounds like what happened) or you get dirt on the backing.

By the sounds of it, it was all installer error.

Didn't want to have to do this, but honestly anyone who watches this video will easily see that this stuff is super easy to work with and watch the creases come right out with a little heat...Like I said before, YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE PAPER BACKING BEFORE YOU APPLY THE HEAT! Sorry your expert friend and you wouldn't listen. Now, I would really appreciate you keeping your mouth shut about someone lieing when you destroyed something on your own.

Hello, sorry to hear about your trouble.
Let this be a lesson and only go to AWD motorsports.
I've had a few issues with my Evo and they got it done right.

No offence to asaperf but their shop looks a little rag tad.
doubly no offence to cwill but after seeing how awesome the work
conditions are at AWD I had to wonder why he left.

Just my 02.

Good luck.

I check them out and there are no flanges or clamps. If anyone has priced these alone a set for two gates cost almost as much as just buying one new gate with everything. So I ask him what was up, he told me he forgot and would get them out right away.
That was almost a month and a half ago now.
I messaged him a bunch of times and at first he would answer maybe 1 of 3 pm's and now he hasn't answered me at all for a month. After my last pm telling him I was going to post up about my experience with him, the guy hasn't even come back on the site. Before he was on at least once a day everyday before that.
If anyone knows the guy can someone please see whats going on. I just want to build my manifold and I don't want to spend another $200-300 on flanges and clamps for USED wastegates when this stuff was suppose to be included and I've already spend $440.

Found Mr.Alston over at NASIOC, and low and behold he has a negative rating there for only sending part of the item he had sold. Surprise surprise. I messaged him there, doubt anything will come of it but I'm not letting this go.

Bought a head gasket from user name: boostinggg its been 16 days since bought and now says someone else shipped it out for him blah blah blah and hes on vacation, told him give me the tracking number and still have yet to get it or hear from him. I should have gone with my gut when i saw his i-trader was less then perfect... Im filing a cpmplaint with paypal tomorrow if no tracking number is sent to me.

If he fixes this whole transaction i will remove this, if not hes getting another negative in his i-trader!!!

Forum name: Boostinggg... is a scumbag

So I need a head gasket to get my motor done so I thought I'd help out a forum member by buying there and saving some money from buying new. So after 16 days from purchasing the head gasket from boostinggg I have yet to receive it and keep getting bs pms like this one:

"ok so how about this wait for your head gasket if it doesent come in another week or so i will refund your money and i will be contacting ups to get the tracking and to make sure you dident recive it you gotta stop blowing me up dude im away i dont need your **** for your stupid 20$ head gasket you got a deal and a half on im on vacation during the holidays like who do you think you are wait for your product i dont make a living selling **** on evom lol im sorry i run a business"

There are more then this but I've been asking for my tracking number for 10 days now and I keep getting bs pm's like this and that oh his secretary sent it out so he doesn't have the tracking number. Easy solution you call ups or your secretary and get the number right? No I get bs pms like this... Idc if your on vacation or not, if you cannot get products out to people in a timely fashion then don't post stuff up for sale!!!!! Or tell people that your on vacation and that it might take a while to get out, then I woulnt have bought it from him cuz I'm in a bind and told him this...I just can't believe there are scumbags in this world like this guy that would pm a customer and give him an answer like this and you own your own business too, WOW this tells me a lot about how you do business. Not to mention that his Itrader is 75% and when I asked him about it he reassured me that it was resolved which is prob bs as well!!! Well enough of me venting this guy has just pissed me off to the MAX and I'm so sick of scumbag people like this and everyone on the forum should know about him!!!!!! My trader is 100% with almost 40 positive feedback I go to school, work for my dad, and sell stuff from my car on the forum... I make no excuses for any transactions I get everyones stuff out the same day or the next day after payment. My dad has taught Me to be a honest business person and make sure that customers come first!!! Obviously this guy has a different perception of business and can't believe I received a message like this after waiting 16 days for a HEAD GASKET quite possibly the easiest thing to **** out in the world!!!

Just out of curiosity, not trying to be a dick but if your signature lists include all these bad *** cars, why would you cheap out and buy one used or even new in bag off a forum member, wouldn't you want that added security and re assurance for something as important as a head gasket that you'd buy one new from a vendor?


I was also going to buy a turbo kit through this guy but his I trader scared me sh*t less. I wasn't going to take a risk with this guy.

Cuz I like to help out forum members before going to a vendor because I no it's hard to sell stuff yourself so I was gonna help this guy out and take it off his hands... I like saving money as well... Don't take a risk with this d-bag he's a piece of **** look at what he wrote back to me after waiting 17 days now I get a reply like that...

Watch out for thecrossup2323

This guy bought an act street clutch and oem flywheel off of me on dec 9th via paypal. I took it to usps on dec 9th, and according to the tracking number it was delivered on dec 14th. This guy filed a claim with paypal saying he never received the clutch. I have all pm's showing where he wanted it shipped. I think its **** poor because i work 3 damn jobs to pay for this car, and was trying to make a lil on the side selling parts. I am a very honest person as you can see from my feedback. He didn't even have the ***** to post feedback. I posted positive feedback on my behalf b/c he paid for the clutch. Well i did my part, and according to usps he received the clutch
FYI heres the tracking number on usps.com 0310 1230 0002 3605 1258

Was the deal for over 250? Was it shipped with signature confirmation? Paypal requires sig confirmation for any claim over 250. Other than that if under the amount just provide them with tracking info and they should help you out.
