    Maybe if more kits were bought by us they would still be around.

    Plenty of people wanted the kits, but the price was a little high and they were extremely backed up on filling orders....so I guess they just couldn't support that part of the business. Tearstone was one of the best little companys (customer service wise) I'd seen too, this is unfortunate...

    true. i thought about buying a kit from them but the price was up there. i know its one of the few companies that offers a kit for our cars but damn..... hope they change their mind though and stay around.

    Probably would be best to wait for what Russ has to say - I know he's been pretty frustrated with the guys they source the kit from (as well as the customers waiting for kits), but I'll leave it up to him to make any offical announcements.

    he still has some stuff in the garage section. turbo piping for the v6 and a kit for the i4.

    Webhosting for less than $3 a month? put "pinoyesv6" as a promo code.

    From what I know, probably not. Currently the source for anything turbo related would now be through RPW as he is a reseller for them.

    I wonder how long it would take for RPW to produce and ship the manifolds.

    Oh I do, I'm just wondering in general terms.

    I don't think I would ever buy manifolds again. I would rather just make them myself.

    Wow, that is sad man...Well I guess they are going to go in a different direction. Maybe selling hoods, trunks, body kits, specifically design for the 3G Eclipses and Galants hopefully. Thats sucks man, I would've liked to turbo my i4 withing the next couple of years...

    The turbo options that we used to sell will still be there, but we are no longer reselling them from the company that builds them (most people here already know who that is anyways). Expect that company to surface of the next few months with some announcements. Otherwise, Tearstone Performance is still dedicated to serving both the Eclipse and Galant families.
