Thanks bud, thanks alot, its too bad they wouldnt pick up my calls. So that is why I cant get good news-- because there is no news except that Josh R on the site is going to pick up his kit he bought in the GB so if he actually gets it that means there are others that are done .

Knock on wood it goes well

Cool, congrats.

You should be ready with boost for the next meet. I will finally have a worthy car to run against.

You might want to look into tires. Traction is a joke. A 40mph roll and floor it and the wheels light up. Cool at first now, just a waist of traction.

I just got 1 question I want answered MIKE. How long does it take to get some damn actuators? Obviously (unless you can't count) you knew back in February when we ordered these kits that you were gonna need a certain ammount. Are you saying it takes 3 months to get them?

Ed- not bashing you I know it's not your fault I just want some honest answers. I'm sick of them ignoring everyone. If Drivetoofast gets his I will fly out there to get mine too. And how did they just magically find one for his kit?

Dragon333:

Its all good, I just didnt know where drivetoofast was and he got his turbo kit already (pick up) and never sent me the money but its all financially taken care of.

Player1002:

The actuators for drivetoofasts where off other cars that they had in the shop that were waiting for turbos. I dont know who they go through for them, so its up to that company to fabricate them. I have talked to them more and it seems that they are responding more now which means -- that the kits are near completion and there is nothing to hide. It has been almost 2 months and I know you guys are pissed. It is all up to that company now who makes the actuators. Once those are in they will ship.

An internal waste gate needs to be opened and closed via a device. The actuator acts like a mechanical arm that opens and closes the waste gate so your boost does not leak.
