Well my turbo was deliverd on oct 25, but to the wrong address. Needless to say it is long gone now.(stolen) I called up Jose and told him what happened and he was kind enough to just send me another as soon as he can. I cant tell you how helpful he has been this is just iceing on the cake. These guys are top notch to deal with. If I were going to buy a kit again I would still go this rought and still wait if I had to.

Unfuckingbelievable! SO many people are waiting for turbo's (ahem...) ... import enthusiasts, drag racers, etc. Then, someone who doesn't need one gets one!

Whoever the dude is, I'll venture to say he's an ******* who's gonna keep his mouth shut and keep the turbo. I hope I'm wrong. I'm capable of considerable wickedness, but one thing my parents drilled into me was the honesty of never possessing something not rightfully mine.

I just finished sending PTK an A2A FMIC of which they sent me an extra by mistake.

People in my block get wrong shipments all the time and there are always disputes with the USPS or UPS. Everyone keeps **** that wasn't theirs. That's why I watch these UPS people like a hawk around here! It's a battle every day at 4:30 PM!

It looks like the hot side is correct, but the cold side is not even close.

Hey, Dalton...

What's a good manual boost controller to use with my kit and Ultragate wastegate?

By the way, pics of a correctly assembled cold side would be nice...

Rich

PS I will email you the bolt info today.

I'm not looking for general tips, I'm looking for a REAL set of instructions.... I would send $$ if anyone has a set. The kit was received new with a check-list but no instructions...

Darren, can't wait to see your results from the track; I'm curious to see whether your ETs and MPHs are more reflective of the 471 rwhp or the 560 rwtq! Post up when you can...

Good luck, man...
