Rep Power: 0 congrats on installing your kit man. what was missing anyway? when i got mine a few weeks ago i thought they forgot my map sensor isolation valve...then i found it rolled up in a piece of newspaper.lol also, i don't know if anyone else has had a problem with this...check to make sure that there are no bolts missing from where the turbo mounts to the manifold. there were two missing from mine giving me a bad fuking exhaust leak. its all good now though. happy boostin'

Rep Power: 0 i am from around Alexandria Louisiana....... i am missing the flange from the upgaded turbo that bolts to the air side of the turbo that you connect your intake piping to that the filter connects to, also the flange that bolts to the turbo that you connect your oil return too.. and also my alcohol injection kit..... i have call mike stafford about them, the very next day and he said that he would put all of it in the mail for me that day........ so it should all be in this week.
. 
how hard was it to do the install? any special tools needed? how mechanically encliend do you have to be? im considering the SF kit cause all i hear is great things. the only thing holding me back is that i hear theres a huge delay in the shipping and now their production is on hold cause there moving their shop location. how long did it take to get your kit?

Rep Power: 0 People have to realize that it is going to take them a while to get your kit made and sent out. They hand make each of their kits and they dont just make kits for 7th gens either so they have tons of other kits to be made while trying to get 7th gen kits out. Plus there are only 3 people working there and with some other people doing stupid stuff when they install the kit andthey have to drive fricken 250 miles to go and fix it. I know it gets really really frusterating waitng but it is SO worth it! You are getting the best quality kit out there right now. And they back up their product 100%...

I thought you were keeping it stock. What's this talk about sleeves/pistons/rods? LMFAO. I'll help you build it when I get back. Plus I'll be building mine also. You can pick up a new motor for 500 bucks and build that.....may as well, no downtime with the car.

cause your not the first
Theres Jason over near Lake Charles with his black EX coupe, I have seen his car, he doesn't have the SF kit though. His manifold looks like a turd but it was turbo'd none the less.
I am also told by a friend at Loyola that there is a 2002 silver turbo LX running around that area. Although i have not seen this one, my friend knows what hes talking about so i believe him.

Rep Power: 0 i didnt mean to say for him not to get the kit..... that is my bad.... i just meant to say that the wait is a long time...... like what madwheel said.... my kit is freakin awesome..... i just wish that i had everything else to go with it that i ordered, but it is suppose to be in the mail.....other than the wait on stuff, i havent really had any problems..... the only thing that i wasnted pleased with was the fact that my ic pipes where scuffed up...... i could have gotten really pissy about that, but i am not interested in lookin pretty, i wanna be fast......
i have talked to mike stafford several times about what i am missing, and he is takin care of it and is really cool about it on the phone

For the other post you made...(jwcardy)...well said. The guys are great on the phone though some of the parts a lil damaged or missing sometimes, they do stand by their product and are concered with customer satisfaction, minus the wait sometimes lol. But like I said earlier it's a fab shop not a retail store, they do everything by hand, also more than stuff just for our civs, they have a local business to run.
