Ok, here we go. I went up there today and he was right on time. 10:00am sharp. We drove to his Mechanic's shop about 10 miles away (please do not ask for address) and saw my car. As I popped the hood I was relived to see that some thing had been done. The manifold was on (no Pics). The manifold went from the piston (1?) near the fire wall and went forward above the oil filter and below an electrical plug. The pipes were 2" and NOT equal length. They square off together and mold into one larger tube that then tapers into the turbo. The taper portion was NOT welded on yet. I spoke with the tech and he said that they had made a few other testers but they want a kit that will not require any removal or moving of factory parts. The tech said it will be done on this Friday.
Then we have a problem. The final parts are to be made of stainless steel, so the parts have to be mailed/ delivered to a shop in Anaheim to be made. I called them ( the stainless company) and they told me that they do work with XERD, however, to set up a production run for any new kit takes Three WEEKS more before they could have a finished product, and that all depends on when they receive the parts.
The only gripe I have is the time factor and that I did not get to physically see the electronics, turbo, BOV, etc that are at his house. I pick up the car next week in stock form while the parts are sent out. He was professional and understood my concerns. Again I have nothing to complain about really other than the time it is taking. Thanks for the support. 5 weeks minimum till it is up and functional IMO.

Call you credit card company, and tell them they breached a contract and wanted another month. Get your money back and Strap on a Speed Craft Turbo!

Check with Mike: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...threadid=101175 He has one in the box.

Assuming you've already paid for those, you might want to hold them in escrow until the kit gets done. Me personally? I'd run away very fast.

Actually, if you've already paid for them, I would ask to hold on to them at YOUR house, not his. He can have them back when he has all parts ready to install.

 

Back-cracker and the rest offer advice I would take! Why wait 5 weeks for something you can have right now, plus all the other concerns make it not worth it, IMO. Phil

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, originally you were to be xerd

 

all welders are laggers, myself included =P....but that sucks....=(
