got some pics of the down pipe v band flange issues....


Heres the fitment. SO. Because the down pipe flange has a larger diameter than the turbo housing flange. No matter how tight I snug the vBand clamp it doesn't 100% hug the turbo and secure it. I can spin the turbo. So. Kinda had it with Sheepey.

 

For shits n giggles mounted the turbo and wanted to check fitment of the down pipe assembly. Yup. Doesnt fit. Again. Where is this awesome Sheepey quality people speak of????

Sending this scrape metal back and going to get my hands on a Kings Performance manifold.

 

Wow that is pretty far off man. Sorry to hear, I know how frustrating it is.

 

wow that sucks sorry to hear, what did sheepy have to say?

 

Alright guys did a lot of thinking the past few days. I sold all my Sheepey inc parts.

Talked to Gerardo @ Kings Performance and they're making me their s2000 3.5 s2000 turbo kit! Will be here in 2 weeks. Me and Gerardo worked out a good deal. They're making me the complete kit minus the turbo,WG, and BOV as I already have those. So cost was actually very reasonable. Basically I will be running a complete Kings Performance BB 6266 3.5 turbo kit except I will be T3 framed. Happy to be working with Kings and getting this car done!!!

 

congrats, did sheepy have anything to say about the poor fitment?

 

That's really unfortunate about Sheepey. My friend locally has their kit and it looks amazing. Glad you're getting taken care of though

 

Sorry to hear about the problems with parts you had. The kings kit seems very promising. Hopefully the car is up and running soon. Im about an hour from Kenosha and my s2k will be under the knife soon too. I would love to see the car in person sometime!
