LOL... thats where my kingukawakaka turbo came from.

 

Great. Well at this point I don't care I just want to install this bitch Hopefully it all works out. If not maybe I can get in on a Mazdamaniac upgrade kit.

 

 

Wait its out for delivery today?

As in you wont see it till tuesday??!?!?!!

 

No out on the truck for delivery to my house. I went home for lunch and missed it, so I have to go pick it up at the Fedex facility after work.

 

get dat *** son!!!

Post pictars plz.

 

I am anxious to see it. I cleaned the engine bay last night, it was painfully dirty from the oil which pisses me off considering how much work I did to get it clean when I installed the engine. You should have seen how much oil was in the intercooler.

 

Dude... I think we should pull your UIM SSV and VDI and clean them out as well.

We wont be able to get the LIM out but still every little bit counts.

 

What a pain. But I do have the yellow stuff to clean it.....................

 

it'll be worth it in the end.

 

It was fun watching you poor it out.

 

WOW....So Turblown outsourced a job, never even cared to mention this to you their customer until now, is touting this greddy upgrade as their own, and didn't even bother to have it sent back to them to inspect to make sure everything is right?

That's pretty questionable in my opinion, I hope everything works out for you Scott.

 

Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is/was but I'll reserve judgement until it is in my hands. Communication has been great as of late regarding shipment but I don't know exactly what was done by Turblown.

 

There is a small chance they sent it off to get balanced and just had the company do the rebuild?

That's about all I can figure out.

Whats the word on the turboozzz?!

 

9K got it..... but

No hard lines and turbo will have to be Re-Clocked.

 

Shitty to hear 9k. I was/am hoping that turblown can be a trusted turbo shop. As far as tuners go where I am, there aren't many. Rotary tuners, even less (probably non-existent). Turblown is a decent ride, but worth it for the tune (if all is sorted out).

Also, tl;dr- have you found an MM upgrade kit for sale?

 

WTF Are you serious? Wasn't that the whole point of sending the manifold along with it?

I would be pretty damn pissed right about now if that was me.

 

For someone trying to make a name for themselves in the RX-8/Greddy market.... Yea, sorry bro. I'll grab all the extra bullshit lines and fittings I can find and bring them down tomorrow. We will get you patched up.

 

 

I'd be a little pissed about that. Hell, I'm annoyed for you.

 

I am a bit pissed to say the least. I took some time to think about it and I'm gonna stay positive and concentrate on what was done right. Comp Turbo did the work, and that is good, they have a good rep. They coated (with what I don't know but it looks good) the turbo manifold and the hot side of the turbo, they installed a 54mm X-HF Billet wheel (looks awesome), and they replaced the seals, etc. and apparently did the machine work.

Hopefully shady can get it clocked right for me and I am going to go to a place tomorrow to try and see about getting some hard lines made. I'm not sending it back anywhere. From now on I will just deal with Majestic Turbo up in Waco. I should have just went to them in the first place, at least if I have a problem I can drive my happy *** up there.

I'll take pics tomorrow once the turbo is clocked and see of you guys have any ideas on how to route the coolant lines.

Shady, can you bring that new 20g CHRA?

 

epic ...

 

benzodiazipines or beer---prescribed

 

Sorry 9k. May the odds be ever in your favor

 

Dude that sucks. Has Turblown chimed in to say what has happened?
