Sweet! Did you ever trace all the lines for boost leaks? Might be a good time to do it while the turbos are out. I swear I have a feeling you have a hairline crack in a weld or something. Hope not, but just sayin... you should double check it.

I've gone over everything and didn't find anything. I have had some issues with paper wastegate gaskets blowing, but I have repalced them with metal gaskets.

kad5118

well what are your results so far

HRHohio

I hear that. I just found a leak at my wastegate too. Ordered metal gasket too.

I got scammed on one of the turbos I ordered from ebay. Trying to get my money back. Also got some really nice sport bucket seats.

Got my new seats installed. Very pleased with the resault. Very Comfortable too!

what seats are they and how much did they weight n cost ?

99VetteFRC

I don't know the cost, I traded for my stock buckets. My friend had them in his GTO. I think they came from Summit. They are a little lighter but not much.

Thx 99
Been following this thread closely since its so similar to my current build.
I need done light , comfy ish seats , that won't take too much $ away from the savings.

HRHohio

That sucks. How did you get scammed? Who was the vendor, so we don't get scammed too.

I had one seat like that but sold it when i found my recaros with brackets.
did your seat come with brackets? or did you fabricate some? the one i had did not just the slides. and they went up a lot in price since i bought and sold mine.

the company that scammed me on ebay is jengperformance. They have a ton of feedback but I was quick to buy and didn't check it first. As for the seats they came with sliders but no stands, I used long bolts and spacers to lift them about 1.5"

Damn bro, if it wasn't for bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all. Damn again!!

Yeah LOL... It's nothing that can't be overcome though. I just need to wait till after Christmas. The car is driveable and does run better, just has different size turbos on it. Hopefully Ebay will help me out fairly quickly.

one thing I will say about eBay / paypal buyer protection works very well. I've had to use it twice , and both times its been very painless. Got my money back on a reasonable timeframe considering the other outcome was nothin.

HRHohio

Damn. I just checked out his feedback. Looks like he HAD a decent business a year or more ago... but not in the past 2 months. Looks like you were in that group he started to screw over. Sucks man.

How long did it take to get your money back?

I bought it on Nov 6th. Now I need to sell my t70s. Got one off the car now.

It was a little over a month. They give the seller like 30 days to get you the product. After that it was probably 2 weeks til the funds were in my paypal account.

99VetteFRC

At least they help us out. I guess I won't be seeing the money before Christmas then. Damn, I need it to get my second turbo.

99VetteFRC

Just got notification that Paypal has refunded the money I got scammed out of for the second turbo.
