Yeah, man. Please cool down - good things take time, and like Jet Said, kits are being delivered...just a little slow. Unless they have a particular reason not to send your kit, you should get it when the time comes. When did you order your's Ahtasham?

Rep Power: 0 You don't need to sue them for fraud. You can ask for a refund if you don't feel like waiting anymore. I would still rather have my turbo at the moment, so I have no choice but to keep waiting.

Rep Power: 350 That still doesnt answer the fact of which kits will be shipping and where. Although its nice to see some progress, a light at the end of this LONG tunnel as it were. Once again Eddie thanks again for everything bro.

Obviously if I was updating in the thread with the five tracking numbers that were posted, then I meant four out of the five were delivered....

He said I'd have mine tomarrow too but we'll see. Mike never called me back like he said he would. And my box looked the same way.
Canadian2k1SI- Missing Bonnet, 1 nutrod, and turbo that was sent had no wastergate actuator on it.
Plus there wasn't a checklist in the box so I could be missing something else and not no it. I think I got everything else though.

Rep Power: 350 good thing there are a lot of us, maybe someone should create a VERY detailed check list of our own. Perhaps by someone that has received a full kit. Jet how does the kit look? The welds, the manifold the overall quality of the parts? Do they looked rushed or shotty?

Rep Power: 0 RedDragon - that is a good idea about the inventory sheet, I just assumed that it would have been included with the box of goodies. Is anybody willing to make up an inventory sheet? Best would be someone with a digital camera to take pics of the pieces too.

Rep Power: 0 JetBlu01 .... Dude I know the kit is gonna come some day and all the problems would be solved eventually. But my situation is a bit different. I had to SELL one of my two cars to pay for this kit (and other turbo related stuff like boost controller etc..) All my others friends already got their cars rolling with turbo kits and swaps on their 5th and 6th Gens. According to the time SF gave me, I should have been racing with them right now but all what I do is stand beside the road and watch them. And trust me, the feeling aint that good.

Rep Power: 350 I know i didnt get mine. As far as pinholes in the manifold mine BETTER not have any problems. With the time frame we have been in there should be perfect welds on all pieces but only time will tell i guess.

You see my issues I had last time? From what I saw this time when I was at the shop, the quality of the welds looks better by far - the manifold was awesome, except the turbo flange needed to be milled flat because it was warped due to welding (just a note to everyone to check your flanges for trueness)...
According to Mike B (and the guys that I met while there) - they just hired an additional 2 guys, as compared to before (it was both mikes, and another guy, who left - so it was just mike and mike for a while - following still? Good!). So, I'm guessing that once the issues with the suppliers are straightened out things will go much smoother....
Yeah - guys, I know its hard to wait - especially when you see all of your friends on the board here boosting by you - but when I took a ride in Cat's car, man all I can say is that good things come to those who wait....Of course, there IS a limit....which than you take things into your own hands

Rep Power: 0 Hey Opto, you mentioned that you were at the shop before & the welds we not as good back then, how long ago was that? I am wondering because I bought someone's kit that had not finished paying for it, and it was a while ago still sitting in the box for months, perhaps I might have to inspect everything good when it arrives.
Still waiting paitiently like most others, but anticipating the fun ahead is exciting still.

Rep Power: 0 Man when I get my kit or should I say 'IF' I get my kit after all this wait and it comes with manufacturing faults from SF .... then they would really have to face some serious trouble.
Catalyst, where are you dude? and where the hell is my kit?
