just drop the motor down an inch or so and the DP bolts are easy.

My mounts are off and my engine is being held up by a jack right now, I will definitely try that when I put everything back in.

if your jack has good wheels you can even shift the motor to the drivers side by about a half an inch or so, this is Kane's advice.. I am passing it on. As far as I know there are no PPO2 rights to this mechanical maneuver

edit... call me if you need any further direction for tips on that

Thanks man, we did have to shift it towards the drivers side to get more clearance to get the manifold and turbo out.

Since you are a Marine I will cut you a break. You likely don't need to start a new thread. Just click on the second thread in my signature below. Anything you can think of asking has likely already been answered. Search, search, search.

I meant to call them last night, but we got stranded street tuning a car when an injector stuck open. They aren't open yet, and it usually takes til around noon our time to get a hold of them( 2.5 hours from now).

I never got any pictures, so I hope everything is correct. Please let me know once you get everything..

I will email you back with a tracking number once I have it..

**** dude, I dunno. My guess is that the job was outsourced. Story of my life

At this point I am praying everything was done right. He has been keeping me updated so that is good.

"I never got any pictures, so I hope everything is correct. Please let me know once you get everything.."

So this means the work is outsourced and not returned to Turblown for inspection before returning to the customer? That seems very strange to me. They must have a very good/trusting relationship with this person/company. Still I would think Turblown would want to inspect the work because his name is on it.

Replacement and Upgraded CHRA, hard lines for water, and re machined housing. They also had my manifold to make sure the lines were routed correctly to clear everything.
