Kinda pissed

[mozzandherb]

My cars been at my mechanic for 2 weeks now waiting for him to install the turbo and everything else and I went in today because I need my car for a road trip and he said he was gonna start the piping and gauges among other things and when I went to pick my car up there was hardly anything done! They removed a couple of things from the engine bay for the piping, but he told me that he spent most of the day trying to figure out how to proceed. So I have my car back and I told him I would return it on Monday and asked if it would be ready by Friday and he said no. So I said well what about the week after? And he said yes, well thats about 4 weeks that my car wil be in his shop. Now I'm patient, but that is a long time, since he said the install would be ready by the end of May. Kinda pissed, but he is renowened for being slow like this, but he is a very good tuner, so thats why I'm getting it done there, still kinda pissed and I dont want to get angry or annoyed with him, anyone have any words that might help speed up this process? Just ranting right now. Have a good weekend I'm on my way to Montreal

You do know you can do it yourself right? Just install everything you have so far and have him tune it.

Less money since he won't be doing the install rather he would tune the motor.

just my 2 cents.

uhh dude dont pay some cocksucker to install your turbo

do it yourself its not hard!

[turbomaxx]

duuuuuuuude i second what accordkid said.

install the components yourself, and have the mechanic guy tune it for you.

Think of all the money ud be saving... and what else you could buy with all that money...

[d112crzy]

It takes a few hours to install a complete turbo system with gauges....

all you need is a basic tool set from sears or your local auto parts store.

perfection is a slow process.

Yea the only thing that might give you trouble is drilling the hole in the pan for the oil return line....and thats not even that bad!!!

DIY DUDE!!!!

[rickyduckworth]

and if done incorrectly, it could cost you more to fix or replace it. a turbo with a slow or nonexistent oil feed will die in seconds, so don't "do it yourself" if you aren't sure you can handle it.

otherwise, the dude lied and is slow but you said you knew this beforehand, so you can simply take it somewhere else or just wait

JB WELD grasshopper....JB WELD...after you drill out the hole for the bung ...for the oil return...you have to JB weld the bung into that hole.

not hard at all!! you just have to be patient..and let it dry!

but its true...if you dont have enough oil getting to the bearings of that turbo it will overheat and seize up!...NO SPIN!

then you will have to find another turbo and redo your lines!...make sure...you get a slightly bigger oil pan ...say 5 quart pan ( MOROSO ) some of the aftermarket oil pans have those bungs already welded on them!

you just have to look real around!

[rickyduckworth]

we had a welder but the of course we were out of wire and i needed a quick oil line fix on a modded pinto (yes, pinto) so i used jb weld and you gotta be careful because some engines just naturally vibrate enough to break/crack the jb weld and then your oil line falls out.......thankfully the turbo went first and saved the motor but that's how "quick fixes" like jb weld can go.

turbo pinto?


LOL

now thats something I want to see

[SN2BH22CB7]

turbo pinto?

BETTER....a twin turboed Pinto!!


slap in the 5.0L 302 V8..and twin turbo it! NOW, thats worth seeing!



and with that 302...have the dual intake / dual throttle bodies..for the turbos!

convert from Carb...to injection! OH YEAH..talk about a FAST MINI HORSE ( Pinto )

yeah man its really not that hard. just time consuming.

i mean as long as you realize that, like, if the turbo is sitting against the radiator, as long as you realize thats not right, then youve got enough common sense to figure it out lol.


everything just bolts on. the only hard part would be tuning. but theres gotta be someone near u that can do it.

[cleanz_28]

find some one else to do it...
