I'm with you, this company sucks *****. They were going to be the system I eventually went with, but unless they change, hell no am I trusting them with my money.
Hopefully they get their **** in order and realize the customer is their #1 priority (even before turning a profit)

Why would I need to do that Bill? We all know the quality of work that is produced from the company that made Marko's white supra.... you know the one that will still be in business this time next year. Happy 4th bill, I'm out until next week!

Bill told me that he read the IAT's at highway speeds with and without the fins and there was really no measureable difference. Just lose the other fin.

Most kits go up through the hole under the fuses.

thats what im thinkin....my abs box seems to be a slightly different design and is kind of gettin in the way...but ill figure it out.


now that ive had a chance to take a breath and settle down, these cold pipes are good lookin pieces. very higher luster polished, and nice tig's. should look great once finished. nice big 4" IC... not a long distance from the turbo to the TB....should make some good power, quick. im gettin pumped

my tuners goin on business this coming sunday so hopefully i can get this running with a starter tune before then. luckily ive been driving this thing NA on 2 bar and got something to start with

Hey smearin do you think you can change the plugs with only removing the dp? It is hard to tell from the pics. Did Bill comment on plug changes?

plugs are kind of a PITA....but not impossible by any means. its not like u have to change them alot so its no big deal. u may have to take the DP out, i dunno yet, but its like 2 clamps to get it out, who cares. u got bigger things to worry about when u got a turbo car.

smearin did ur fuse boxes need to be moved at all? ive been using that pic as reference but still cant seem to get the pipes lined up. also, the little pack infront of my abs i noticed is like 1" higher than the one in the pics, and i think thats getting in the way of the top pipe.

i havent really heard anything about ac yet, dont really care at the moment tho. i may have them make a bigg DP for me that takes that space anyways down the line

to be quite honest the only reason i bought this kit was because it retained ac, if it going to be a pain in the *** or if it isnt going to work then i would have bought one, and had it running lasy year.

im sure they will have it going. the dp clearences the ac which is the only thing that matters. all they need to do is make ac lines and relocate the bottle which is easy.

I agree, but apparently that either hasnt been done so far, or has been done but given to no one.
