ok update: So another week gone by and STILL no pictures.

New guy ive been talking to, Sean@turbochargers.com has now been "avoiding"/not getting back to me (whichever word you want to use). At first i got emails back within an hour of sending a message. Now its been 2 days since i have emailed him and I have not had an email back. Sean is apparently the general manager over there. *trying to think happy thoughts*

Turbochargers.com sure isn't doing themselves any favors with all this cloak & dagger nonsense. I'd wager that any IS owner following this thread is very suspicious about doing future business with this company.

all i know is sema is in less than 2 months and they are supposed to drop a turbo into the green is-c. If they dont finish yours soon, i dont see how they are going to have time to have that one finished. And if they drop one in that car before yours i think you need to go over there and kick some ***.

now, now. ***-kicking isn't going to do anyone any favors.

imo it's time to pull the plug, but it's your call.

good luck, and keep us updated.

I got a great idea John, I know this sounds harsh but...


take a trailer and go there, pick up you car AS IS!

take it home and have some one who is good with piping finish everything, and you can run the kit at 5psi without anything extra if you do meth injection you can touch seven!

ask iSuxel about it!

The hype with this thread is about how Turbochargers' gonna overcome the high compression and what engine management they're gonna use or the possibility of reflash. running FI with no engine management is thumbs down IMO.

^ that's assuming that it's making progress toward completion.

and from the OP's updates, there's no progress being made.
