While we are on the topic of the VR38 plenum. Chris@FsP finally found time to ship me the plenum!!! Please note my plenum came from the UK, and there are extras attached to it. Hopefully it'll be compatible with Sam's retrofit kit. As for impressions, the plenum is very light and looks very well made from the factory.
The plenum came off of a couple of blown VR38 motors from a UK owner, who is also a member on NAGTROC. The engine cover was purchased off another NAGTROC member a year ago. Can someone spare me some screws? [EDIT] Oh snaps... that extra part is probably part of the plenum after all. Goodness it's $270 brand new not including the gaskets. Intake collector brand new is about $650. If you guys are looking for these parts for retrofit, definitely try to source it from blown engines. Here are some pictures:

This hard to belive Every part that i have got from GTM has been perfect and so well wrapped and packed that it takes a long time to un package it.

Ok! This has officially ruined this thread. Couldn't start another at least? I assure it will be made right by GTM. Things happen. I'm am sorry for what happen. Just don't post it here in this thread. No harsh feelings.

oh god what is this **** .
what does the botched kit matter here. As long as GTM is fixing it you shouldn't complain. I myself most likely wont get GTM's TT kit but go for HKS their TT kit. but I still immensely respect GTM for the work they are doing on our cars. |

In regards to the shipping issue described in the this thread, we are very accessible and take care of our customers. As soon as we received the call from Joe regarding the issues, we took care of him. In fact, we are sending out replacement parts before we even receive the damaged ones.
Our shipping department is OCD when it comes to packing parts. Everything is bubble wrapped and protected before shipping. Of all the kits we have shipped out, this is the first time something major happened during shipping. Regardless, we are here to take care of our customers and ensure that they get what they pay for and that does NOT mean "hacked up parts". We take a lot of pride in what we do and shipping garbage is not something we do...unless of course, you decide not to recycle the bubble wrap you receive with your kit. Anyway, back on topic, we'll be testing the manifold on bullitt's project first. |

The Prototype Production unit was sent back as the bolt holes didnt line up perfectly and there were a few other issues we wanted resolved in the design. We should have a new unit next week *fingers crossed*
