Default Is CEP still around?

As the title says, I'm in need of a turbo mount. I sent a message on their site, but haven't gotten a reply. There is no phone number either.

Last I heard they don't produce a lot these days and what they do produce is for vendors and not the general public. I've been wanting their cam sprocket cover for some time, waiting for a used one to come up.

If I understand correctly the post about the Tial HTA gt35 setup you can get that mount through tial. GeorgeD could probably clarify. Unless you have looked into this aspect already

I know for sure that CEP worked with Tial to improve/alter their mount. What I don't know is if Tial then altered their design to do what CEP came up with, or if the CEP mount is different/separate.

This is also true, he mostly works with race shops. I've bought a few things from him (he lives about an hour from me) though it's all been stuff he just so happened to have kicking around (motor mounts, alternator bracket, etc.) When he DOES do something he does them in bulk to keep costs down and no longer wants to get stuck with a bunch of leftovers... so he's been working direct with race shops instead, so costs aren't as big of an issue.

From what i understand, the CEP mount is modified for the oil drain. The turbo is a GT30 btw.

Tbh, i'm a little apprehensive about ordering from broadfoot because of reviews i've read on here... I don't wanna be waiting for 6+ months for this thing to come in.

I'd prefer to buy a mount already modified for the oil drain, so i don't make a hack job of it; hence why i'm looking for CEP.

I seem to recall (memory might be a little fuzzy now) him also mentioning that his updated mount aligned the turbo such that it was easier to line up with the rest of the exhaust.

The thing about broadfoot is you may or may not get your part in a timely manner. While if you can get hold of CEP you normally get your part when promised.

I have bought from both parties multiple times. I thought Dave might have possibly stopped producing his and thought to offer an alternative that I'd seen recently.
