Default Got My Stuff.....well Most Of It

came in from vegas today and say 3 boxes sitting on my porch. opened them and guess what. its my stuff from GZ and John pham. dont know if im going to get a chance to put it on today but deffintly going to start in the am. it all looks great i just hope it fits as well as it looks. only thing is i cant find the clamp to hold the dp to the turbo and i ordered, well i thought i oredered an extra from jegs, and all i got was just one flange not both flanges and clamp as it shows in the pic. as soon as i get un packed im goint to get some pics up and let you guys see what i got. cant wait. wish me luck

called john about that clamp. he said he would ship it firrstthing on monday. i didnt know that ups was closed on saturday? it looks great just cant wait to see how it fits. by the way forced inductions is awesome. ordered the gate on tuesday and got here on thursday. awesome service. one thing is my turbo is a little tight? i mean it spins but not very freely. i sprayed some wd on it and it loosened it up some. now granted it hasnt been run in a year. think that would have some affect on it? think it will be good once i get it oiled up good?

Truck manifolds? That will never work.
Glad to see the car is going back together. Its been a long road for ya. I think you'll be happy once you get her back on the road. Looks like a nice straight forward setup. Good luck.
