I know my GT2817R from Full Blown came in two separate shipments, and I had to assemble the two sides myself which was a first. It sucks that you went with a Precision turbo and that the repair process will take that long, but I would still go with the GTX upgrade, get a rental car, and never make the mistake of buying another Precision turbo.

I guess I can add my own JDL story to the thread. I ordered both my overpipe and frontpipe from JDL on their website. I remember it taking longer than I expected for them to arrive only to find that the bracket for the tranny mount was clearly not in the correct location during my turbo kit install. They asked for pics to verify, so I took these:











I believe they were willing to take back this pipe and ship me another one, but like you, I didn't want to not be able to drive my freshly turboed BRZ even though I do have a daily driver truck. I decided to instead remake the transmission bracket which I enjoyed even with my limited fabrication skills.

Feel better realizing I'm not the only one they screwed over, although I already knew this trough the countless times I found myself waiting more and more because of their miscommunication.
