Yeah i'll get you picks during my install this weekend. The only thing that i know for sure is that the oil inlet to the turbo comes off the head, so that line shouldn't really need to be more than a few inches...

fwiw no ATP kit is bolt on, even directly from ATP themselves; because an intake solution isn't offered.

You saw the kit in person... The only person to blame is you.. He is offering to pay for the DP set up from meineke.. So your all pissed about 2 fittings and a LICP? Unless you paid close to retail, stop whining on here and go out to your garage and make it work..

Are you people retarded? The kit was advertised as a complete bolton kit with all necessary components. Not only did it come without half of the downpipe, but the rest of it won't even bolt right up. This guy got shafted, and I hope Batman does the right thing and gives him his money back.

To the people who think it's the buyers fault, I hope that something similar happens to you. Maybe being on the other side of the fence is the only way you people will get it...

So basically if you buy a turbo from somone and it looks fine on the outside but craps out 200 miles after being installed than thats "your bad"? You people have issues...

that sux, even though you bought it in perrson its a super shady deal. How are you suposed to know that it doesn't "bolt on" if it's your first kit. an inch here and there is awfully hard to judge in a parking lot. if this helps ( i doubt it will) i have my old turbo for sale and its a bolt on kit, well other than the licp thoses never seem to fit right. to many variables in different intercoolers and at that point fabing one up isn't rocket science. that sux though i say crappy seller and not enough time to look over product or do a test fit, but you did buy (under false pretences) this is tricky

dude if you payed 1600 for that you got a good deal
the only real problem i see is that u did not get the second part of the down pipe. and its kinf of shady that he said its 100% bolt on but its not. but since you saw the kit and you being a smart person you shuould have easly noticed there was no down pipe
atp also only started including the licp

That's shady of the seller to leave out a couple things, and the buyer should've inspected carefully, and researched on what comes with the kit. How much DID you pay for it? if you got it for a good deal then what's the big problem, he's gonna send you the other half of the DP, and as for the lines, just get new ones and make it work.

You should decieve the caped crusader, First things first! light the bat signal tonite, after he see's this irresistible call to duty, you ambush him at the joker's pad <BAM!> and pick up the last piece to your downpipe <POW!>

Hello folks, sorry for the late reply. I did not realize Epidemic had started another thread on this. I assumed he was going to use my original post, where I posted the turbo kit for sale - and I was waiting for his complaint before I responded.
I can't go into detail right now (I'm at work), but I will definitely respond to this when I get back from work today.
My documentation will show you proof that this guy (Epidemic) is a big fat liar, and is also trying to slander me due to his incompetence.

Why don't you just offer him a refund? You obviously gave him something other than what was advertised. Seeing it in person HELPS but it's not like he can test fit the entire kit on the spot to be sure everything is 100%.
