Again, I feel so sorry for you. That would just break and rip my heart to pieces.

Yeah it does man and apperently Julian from MRC told STS about this problems months ago and they still hadnt fixed anything. Plus STS basically said that I am on my own because they just piece the kits together and are not responsible for pieces that do not work correctly!

Of course its not your fault. You would think that once a company has a kit assembled and installed that they would be able to take an inventory of all the parts they they used and start making several of each. And then once those are gone make a few more. After everything that happend that was the last thing that you needed. So do they have any idea if any damage was done to the motor..? Or something that can be dried out..

I dont think I will be able to make this meet, I still have not got tires on my car, and the tread is 2/32 on the front and between 2/32 - 1/32 on the rear. If I can get some time on Sat. to change out the tires I will still try to meet up with you guys. Maybe I could get my friend to drive his STi and I could ride shotgun.

I'm still going for sure. Everyone who plans to go, familiarize yourself with the map on page 4

i heard sts was the ghey, doesnt surprise me...we looked at that kit for the gto, which would look sexy as hell and put down 600 plus whp on stock internals and into a solid 11 sec 1/4 mile, but after hearing so many horror stories (turbos falling off, lack of quality, some other ones i cant remember), decided not to. lucky the ls2 can get into the mid 500 range even more n/a, wish the z was that way....i guess i have to buy cams anyways..and still be slow

hope you get it running safely, if worst comes to worst go to turbo dave, he is the boost god, no matter what engine, he will custom fab whatever you need...and his little tacoma would kick the butt of most any vq Z

Your best bet, from where you live is to take 75 to 285 onto Perimeter Mall. Well maybe 19,41 to 75 and on. I travel threw Conyers to 20, for it's the shortest and fastest way for myself.

It's about 55 miles to Perimeter for myself. The total round trip last month was 260 miles. Which was a tank of fuel for me. It was worth it.
