And shout out to Madwi for hooking me up with a deeply discounted scavenge pump and knowledge regarding all the miscellaneous items I'll need for that install.

Sasha has been trying to get a RMA from COMPturbo but they have been non-responsive.

Look at the bright side. You had the Lexus instead of the boosted Z to haul my tires back for me at the west Michigan Z meet this year.

Had it not been for that I would have had to haul tires home in my Z.

And Madwi's Z is still broke so I had the perfect excuse to buy him a winch to get his car back on the lift when we needed to use his lift for something more than holding failed comp turdbo dreams.

You need to be more positive and look at all the good this experience has brought to the community. There is always a silver lining in everything.

And BTW, I'm of very sound mind, I just have no tolerance for BS
