Couriers Please, turns out Sparesbox put the wrong address on the box.

I don't even know how that's even possible? The turbo got sent to thr correct address yet thr turbine goes somewhere else?

considering their history of delays I wonder if they purposefully mailed an empty box around to buy themselves some time

Got my manifold back from Hi Octane Racing, they powder coated it for $280. Not a bad price, but felt a bit ripped off when I dropped it off and they were like umm can't give you a price now but it will be about $200 to $300.. like a $100 spread? Anyhow $280 later I have a ceramic coated manifold lol.

Started to trim the studs on the head as advised by Sinco, turns out I only needed to trim only 1 not 2, mini win?

Looking the part now, because Shitbox/Spareshit/karntbox aka Sparesmoron sent my friggen turbine housing elsewhere I decided to test fit this turbo.

Don’t hi-octane do this shit on a daily basis so they should know exactly how much a 6 cylinder manifold will cost

Yeah I know right? Oh wells, it is what it is but the coating is bloody good though so pretty happy about that.

Now to wait for the rear turbine housing to arrive (whenever that happens), then I'll mock up the lines with some left over bits and bobs  and put together shopping list and go to MSCN for a rape lol.

After that, off to the fabricators then hopefully some skids.

And update, Sparesbox only just realised the housing is just sitting at Couriers Please's depot instead of being returned to Sparesbox ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

Is this a 3 Stooges episode?

[Vodkashotx]

Now I wanna ceramic coat my shit, Looks good!

And about time, the turbine housing came. Guess I won't be using that S15 T28 turbo then

2 more weeks at work till my redundancy, then it's R33 time till it's done.

Aiming for the shitbox running in 3 to 4 weeks, will test skid then dyno.

Popped on some studs and trying to determine how to clock the turbo to make sure the oil feed and oil drain clears the manifold.

Looks like I might have to go hard lines, oh wells lol.

[niZmO_Man]

Hesus that is tight

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Called in "sick" then went to MSCN to get fittings, hard lines for the turbo setup.

Left wondering why I didn't go to work instead lol.

[Silverhks]

Amen!

Having just spent ~500 US on AN house and fittings I feel your pain. I take solace in the hope that I won't have to replace this stuff again
