Angry Labonte Motorsports out of Business????

Purchased the S4 METH-INJECTION kit from this company, Barely used it and 8 months later I'm having issues and they are nowhere to be found..Any idea anybody?

I googled them and all i see is their manufacturer was in Japan and got hit by that Nuclear plant explosion a few months ago

Well here i am $700.00 + install later

Hi LOCO, I sure hope they didn't go out of business, I have a system on my truck and I wanted to run one on the car. Dan Labonte is a good dude, hopefully they just forgot to pay for there web address.

Labonte did seem like the best of the "non-Aquamist" group, but really if you're driving a SWEEEEET e55 like that, shouldn't you be dealing with the top of the line?

I think you'd do well to call Jeff Howerton at Howerton Engineering. He is a great guy, and can probably help you with the issues you're having. It might be a fairly universal part, but if not, he has awesome controllers and whatnot too.

Oh, here you go:
