turbo kit on order

I know how it feels when you don't get any calls back. I ordered my turbo kit from SF about three weeks ago and I still havent heard anything from them yet. I call them everyday and leave messages and still no calls or e-mailes returned. I should of gone with a custom kit but i don't have time for that between school and work.

arent the HKS turbos like $2,000 PLUS? I guess if you want the name and can aford it great, but i think they are overpriced. I paid $790 for my GT28R

And here is the HKS manifold for those who were asleep for the past year or so........

Being on the forum for as long as you have, I'm surprised you still purchased the SF kit after all the outstanding issues with them. You should've done a better job researching this stuff before you make a BIG purchase like that. I understand that people have put up some numbers with it. It's your choice though bro. Good luck with it!
