They were having some issues installing it if I recall correctly. Supposedly the FA20 kit doesn't fit all that well.

Some confusion around the correct mounting of the down pipe. They were able to figure it out.

Yeah, I am at a disadvantage since I am not there in the shop looking at the parts myself. The big drawback of having a shop install another shops kit is the potential for finger pointing. In many ways these guys are competitors...

Hell, I could have thrown it on there for you, took me 6 hours start to finish

Man, you sure know how to kick a guy when he is down.

My buddy is actually trying to sell me his barely used t3/t4 gt2871r off of his 240 that ran for like a month. Only question is, where did you tap into your motor / coolant system for your turbo water lines?

The Full Blown kit by default uses the throttle body coolant hoses and a weird looking brass T, but I didn't like that setup so when I pulled my intake manifold to fix the hose that blew off, I plugged the ports on the throttle body (don't really need to) and ran my hoses from the turbo to where the throttle body coolant lines came from which is the aluminum channel that is under the intake manifold and mounts to the top of the block and a hose barb on the back driver side of the block.

Nice!! I'll do some looking around under the manifold. Thanks

Just had to replace a cracked stock manifold lol, bought Agency Power to replace it.

Clutch line is getting bled to hopefully fix the clutch issue, only engages 80% at most.

Sending turbo back to Precision for warranty rebuild, if you send to them overnight they will put it at the front of the line and fix it ASAP and send back overnight at their own expense, pretty f()ckin cool!

Unless you have found a leak or fluid, this will 80% chance not fix the issue. Knowing you, there is some clutch or throwout bearing damage.

Don't kill my chances man. I'll be looking at a $2000 bill if it's anything actually inside of the trans that's messed up.

Staying on topic, is there anyone with a s/c in the ATL area? I was about to post my own thread and found this one.
