That's not all that bad.... Some people have waited 4+ for a turbo. CBRD much better option if you want your turbo fast.

I don't know which turbo you are going with, but they have been waiting on the CHRA's from Garrett for a while now. I talked to them last week and was told that Garrett still had not given them an expected date yet.

Its their suppliers that are to blame..Garrett isnt sending them the cartridges fast enough for those waiting on a Garrett based turbo. And Mitsu stuff is on back order as well. Dont know about the DBB reds and blacks and if thats a problem

I don't really buy that unless someone has called garret and been told that. FP has always been slow on this even when the turbos were still JB ones.

Tell them this is a daily driven car and cannot withstand anymore down time or else the order will need to be cancelled. See if that speeds them up and helps you at all.

It didn't make a difference for me. They have been waiting over 3 weeks for the parts and don't know when they will show up.

Months and months of waiting for a turbo......That's plain ridiculous especially for what they charge for their kits......
