I got my SF Turbo Kit ..... finally
Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that I finally got my SF kit with the stainless steel equal length manifold and all other upgrades . Looks good to me, everything is there and nothing damaged or faulty. Let me know what you guys think of this one:

Also, there is an ad for this kit in the 'forsale' section. If anyone is interested drop a line.

You know why yours is perfect, b/c you live in Pakistan and they didn't wanna pay for the shipping to ship missing parts.

Thanks guys, It is kinda strange how everything is so complete and without any faults since almost all other kits sent out recently have some issues here and there.

I guess I am just lucky or as Mr. Dialup said, "You know why yours is perfect, b/c you live in Pakistan and they didn't wanna pay for the shipping to ship missing parts."

Yeah I got the external wastegate coz I wanted to. It controls the boost better and also looks way cooler.

And I did pay extra for it .....

It's from SF so it's a rebuild... I managed to get in contact with the rebuilder on a fluke when looking for my turbo. I purchased the exact same turbo for my custom setup that sf sold me in his kit...

SF might have been using rebuilt turbos but as far as this kit is concerned, the turbo seems to be new. My friend in CA got a couple of guys over his place to check out the kit and all of them say that its a new turbo and the custom work is more than satisfactory.

Not trying to big mouth my own kit, just providing more info!

Sorry guys the kit is not up for sale anymore. Everyone made me realize how good the kit is and what I had to go through to get it. I hope all the others kits that SF would send out would be as good or even better than mine.

However, now this baby is comin home (heeeeeehaaaaaaa !!!)

SF turbos arent rebuilt, the specs are redone, they are taken apart and get larger wheels tossed in,,,, better for you guys... the quality is the best of any kit available, they take a while sometimes, but you are getting FULLY custom kits, without driving there.... just bolt on the kits, run 13s, and leave the other guys behind..... SF!!!!!!!!
