well luck not being on my side again, the turbo inlet gasket blows out because the rear manifold bolt came loose and fell out and i have a 3 hour drive home so my car has like no boost and sounds like complete ***, baby it home the whole way, in the mean time im calling everybody i know trying to find a turbo inlet gasket and called chad and he didnt have any used ones either so i call the local mitsu dealer and they are like yeah we have some! so my mom runs 45 mins to get one and what do they give her? a manifold gasket, i call her back alittle later after she is home and she is explaining it to me and im like omg you gotta be ****ing kidding me so i call them back and tell them they are ****ing retarded and should never work parts at a dealership and then go on to tell me that wont have any in stock until tuesday, the same as cbrd. so anyways the car is prolly going to have to sit at home all next week until i get back home from college again so pretty bummed about that i still havent even been able to rip on it yet and now 4th and 5th are starting to grind. i have brand new amsoil sitting here but i might not even waste it on it and might just spend my last little bit of money on a tranny swap or build... idk wtf to do now ugh

turn around is really dependant on business flow hard to answer I would say two weeks unless you talk to them on the phone to see what work is like. shep starts at 895 be warned if he finds other things wrong he will fix so i have seen price get in the 2k range easy. BR is same way but they let you know if they see something else that needs fixing lol hell if you want to leave it broke like that he will same pricing. Strictly modified a full job is 1600 I know i have a reciept and you get all the little tranny tricks done and evo 9 first gear and evo 9 input shaft

wingless guezzz . I thought it was school time and you did not work during school so would have to wait till next summer or christmas something like that. if cash flow is low then DIY mods are good but save what cash you have and wait till you start making funds again for sure.
