Smokin hot...

 

i'm hurt you didnt call or pm me. what the hell man? I used to live by ya , did you forget how many times i have torn a turbo on and off a car.

hahaha...

Lookin good man lookin good.

 

well yeaaaaa, but you live kinda far and i didnt wanna make you come all the way down here. Anyways, i think we might finish today if i get my crap together and stop being a lazy bum.

 

alright, i wanna thank everyone for their help! Especially RRM, Jay and Chris. The car is up and running nice and smooth. Only thing is to make sure you read the directions because I forgot to put the barb fitting on the FMU and it came loose and spilled gas everywhere.

Anyways, the car is AWESOME and just from that 30 min of driving it I knew it was everything I wanted.

I also want to say dont waste your time with NA mods because THIS IS IT!! Save your nickels and dimes for this kit because it is worth it!!

Its all about the sound and feel of the turbo.

Anyways ill cut myself off here so I dont go on a rant. Thanks again.

 

nice!.....time for mee to save

 

hey no problem marc, definately fix the fmu tomorrow, too bad you didn't have all the tools available at your place

 

Damn you turbo guys. I am so jealous.
Someday I will get there. Hopefully soon.

Anyone with a turbo lancer close to Westwood willing to give me a ride?

 

Good job! I'm glad you got it all taken cared off. I still need to install mine, I had some problems with the install from the beginning due to wrong parts shipped to me, parts not fitting right, etc. Rob should do all the packaging shipping and stuff, some guy there at RRM must be messing up my orders damn! Kick him in the nuts Rob!! J/k Seriously, if you buy from RRM especially the turbo, pay close attention on the parts being sent to you cause sometimes they don't have the right parts and stuff and you have to wait for them to ship you the right stuff. I hated the wait time and all the unnecessary shipping costs. But their customer service is the best, especially if Rob is in the picture!

Also, I just can't work on it cause of this damn cold weather and snow. I hate the east coast.

Hate to hijack this thread but, does anyone know if the turbo got messed up during shipping if water condensation went inside the turbine? The housing was rusty and water condensation went inside the turbine when I got my turbo back from RRM. I upgraded my setup from NON-IC to IC...

 

That shouldn't be a problem... wonder how water got in there?? Anyway... use a soft rag an wipe it off as good as you can. Ensure you don't hurt anything and then you can gently spin the turbo just to be sure its clear of debri... if it spins free and smooth you good to go.

 

Boe, thanks, I should have probably asked you first hand. When I got my IC upgrade package everything else was dry except the turbo because it was on the edge of the box without having any bubblewrap or packing on it (it was just thrown in the box without care!!). So it probably got quite a beating during shipping. So I hope it's alright. The buttom of the box was soggy when I got it, that's where the turbo was.

WHOEVER IS SHIPPING AT RRM GET YOUR **** TOGETHER, I'M PAYING LOTS OF MONEY AND I DON'T WANT **** SENT BACK TO ME...thanks

 

I can see your upset and you should be... i'm forwarding your post to ROCK and he'll get on this ASAP!! There is no excuse for shipping a turbo unrapped or protected. On RRM's behalf I appologise to you about that and ensure it won't happen again.

 

lets get back to topic. Thanks boe

 

I followed up on packaging issue. Already got the nuts of the guy who packed it. Turbo will be fine. Nothing important can really rust and you will be fine. Send me those pics like I said.


ROAD/RACE

 

I will send you the pics once i get back home, I've been out of town. I already wiped off the water condensation and made sure the turbo doesn't have any play or debrie that keeps it from turning.

Oh yah, send the nuts of the guy to me and I will stomp on it when I get it and send it back to him. Please make sure not to put bubble wrap so he'll feel how it is inside the box without protection. j/k

 

thank god I didn't package it, otherwise Rob would have kicked me in the *****
