I heard the same thing from one of their staff membes. The sprinklers went off and flooded the building, incluing two Saleen S7s. They complained and the owner wouldn't do anything about it, so they are relocating. Made sense to me...
I for one REALLY hope they don't go. We need more twin screw systems, specially ones that don't require a big bulging aftermarket hood.

I would guess one of two things are happening. TechCo can't find a suitable facility or they have closed the doors.

As far as techno? Maybe they are reorganizing because of the loss and they will return to take care of that gentlemans car.
The offer by one of the vendors willing to service any car built by techno free of charge is truly a sign of a good business man.
I hope Pauzo takes this gentleman up on his offer (jeff) and resolves all his issues.
I've been in a similiar situation years back and its not fun. I would have given my left nxt to have someone offer something like that.
Someone (who has his email address) please contact Pauzo to let him know what has been offered since he is no longer on this site..(he might not see it)

Its really unfortunate, but signs of the times.
They came on to the scene, and half the members here started finding reasons to bash other S/C vendors, only to jump on their bandwagon.
At the end of the day, hopefully the members will know that its important to pick a S/C from a company who has been around a while, and isnt going anywhere. Its not always about rushing to have the first kit out, or proving you can do it without a hood. Cause at the end of the day, who's gonna be there to service the warranty when that company closes.
If a member has one of their kits, and needs help fixing issues, My shop is probably the most experienced twin screw Corvette shop in the country. I will offer our services free of charge, no strings attached, to help the member get his car on the road.

Jeff.....PAUZAO is interested in talking with you about resolving the issues with his car. He mentioned he sent you an email regarding his vehicle. Please contact him when you have a moment. Thank you!

Just trying to help out where I can.
I know twin screws better than I know my wife, so why not put it to good use.
Like I said, provided the head unit is solid, I could easily fix any associated problems. We have been building custom Twin Screws for years.
I just spoke to the guys out in Socal.. It seems they were spending the investors money at a faster rate than agreed, so he pulled out, and shut them down.

PAUZAO received a text message earlier today from Carlos Duran, Sales Manager formally of TECHCO which stated, "I am no longer employed by TECHCO, here is Wayne Grafton's phone number...604-220-1010. I am not taking any TECHCO calls!"
Pretty much sums it up!

they made a kit with great potential! It's unfortunate because their closing has put a lot of people in bad positions with their vehicles and their warranties!
