Not really. Because now you are on the hook for the cost of those parts if you want to bail out. That why, even though it meant taking my car out in pieces, I made sure to have all the MHI parts off my car before leaving GTM.

Charger and housing have shipped along with the 88mm pulley and BOV, should be here Wednesday. All that's left to get are two pipes, a cable and the fender liner. Pablo is really going the extra mile for me and keeping me informed and getting stuff to me.

Pablo really is going above and beyond lately. It's to the point now that I just call and email him when I have any questions or concerns involving getting my car shipped down to California.
Keep us updated!

UPS guy just showed up. Contents of the package was my charger and housing w/88mm pulley installed, BPV, and a belt. The only items missing now are (2) Throttle boby pipes, ECU cable, and the air deflector, It's off to VSR in the morning to drop off the car with all the parts I have. I called Sam to find out about the pipes (being polished), he called me back about 5 minutes later to assure me everything else would ship in a day or two. I will be calling again tomorrow to find out the status of the pipes. I guess the trick is calling EVERY DAY. I'm almost home................almost

Once you turbo your car, you'll never go back. It'll be worth the wait once you get everything done. I don't regret the turbo aspects of my car, but it definitely costs a grip. :P

I was right...Pablo IS NOT ALLOWED to talk to anyone about the status of their order. I called GTM and Pablo answered the phone he immediately said 'hold on, I'll transfer you to Sam'. I told him I didn't want to talk to Sam I wanted to know what was going on with the pipes FROM HIM. My gut says Sam was in the same room with Pablo when I called. Next thing I know Sam was on the phone. They just picked up the pipes and will be shipped today. That means probably Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest. I'm hoping I can pick the car up by Friday. ![]() |

I would have to live literally 15 minutes away so I could stop in every other day to put a boot in their ***. I think this would cut the wait down considerably.

This is unnecessary stress, and I feel ya. I've never driven an SC'd Z, so I don't know what it feels like. At least 450whp from 260-280 whp is great especially if you get it to sound great with all that power. What's nice is that you don't have to mash the throttle and drive wreckless to enjoy the sound and feeling. With my car half throttle in 2nd at 5 PSI doesn't sound like much, but it's enough to have fun and be safe. On cold days, that's enough to fish tail.

There was an oil fitting missing off the original shipment. Bobby called Sam last week and asked him to include this fitting when he shipped the pipes. It showed up but it won't fit. Bobby called GTM and they're trying to find another one. Even if they find something and next-day it to Tampa it won't be here till Monday. It then still has to be tuned/dyno'd. I have to work Monday and my wife has major surgery on Tuesday so I don't know when or how the f*ck I'm going to be able to pick it up now. When Bobby called I asked him how things were going and there was dead silence and then he said 'not good'. My *** puckered so fast I could of snapped a tree limb in half. The only thing that came to my mind was that the motor popped on the dyno.
Bobby is trying his best to come up with a solution if they send another part that doesn't fit. Sam could f*ck up the nicest dream, between him and my bad luck I'll be lucky to get my car at all. If this sh*t don't end soon I'm gonna have a stroke with all the other crap happening in my life. ![]() |
