Not much. I know how it is. Were all busy. Not enough time for play. Live to work, work to live. Just wanted to talk about you new STS kit. I know how it goes. Which from what I read it's not going to well, so far as parts. But it sounds like it will be done soon enough. That's about it. Just wanting to discuss the new kit with you.

Yeah man I will give you a call tomorrow I have to go in tomorrow since the boss is on vacation so it will probably be around 7 or so. Yeah it has been a real b!tch to get everything to work here is a small list... I get teh complete list on Tuesday when I pick up the car then STS will get one long nice e-mail from me
Well I stopped by Forged today and all I have to say is WOW!
1st off the brackets on the intercooler had to be replaced because they didnt reach.
2nd a couple of lines were missing I think fuel line was one of them but dont quote me on that.
3rd all the bolts were to small for teh holes drilled so washers had to be used.
4th the bracket for the intake doesnt do **** and an extra one has to be made so it doesnt keep hitting another pipe.
5th the wrong spark plugs were sent to me!
I will have a complete list of everything that was missing on tuesday when the car is done.

Wow thats not good, did you contact them about these things yet? Thats why I would almost always go w/ the brand name over STS or other small company. I hope everything work out for you man.

I am just gonne call them once its done and I take pictures of everything. I mean I would understand if I was a tester but I think I am the 8th or 9th car now so thats pretty bad.
Brand name kits are good but I wanted something that wouldnt really crowd my enginre bay plus I didnt want all that heat in there too.

There is no excuse for it really. Don't they check to make sure everything is there before they ship? I would have call them and make sure they ship over night the missing parts. When are you expecting it to be done now?
You would think they would check. My TN kit came with a list that they personally use to check all the items. But still had some wrong sized hose clamps and V-band clamps. Then called them to say there missing and they told me they didn't deal with the public. That I'd have to go threw a dealer. Meaning I would have to buy the missing piece. Yea, that was 50 bucks and two weeks later. I don't really care, but all you here about is how good TN customer service is.

STS isn't much better haha I dont expect anything from them I just want to let them know so the next person doesnt get f**cked over like I did. It would be real nice to get something for free but you know how that goes...
Oh and also they over charged me 200 dollars when I ordered the kit it took them a whole 19 days to refund me

By the way I need to get tires on my car, if I can find some damn time, or I will not be able to go on the run. Maybe I can get this done sometime this week.

Yeah I hope things work out for you. I hope you get it back by this weekend. I am going to see how it goes with you, if it works out as a daily driver I might just have to go turbo myself.
