It has shipped !!!

COSMO

Anytime you deal with gtm will be Very stressful so go ahead and count on that. What part are you needing?

Infidel

Some oil union. I was sleeping when Bobby called so my mind was a little slow when he described it.

falconfixer

It's a fuking union...some place like Fastenol or the sort doesn't carry a union?

Infidel

All I know is what I'm told. Turns out the fitting they were supposed to use was used elsewhere in the oil system. Once the fittings are switched tuning can begin but it's Friday at the end of the day. Bobby said he called GTM and talked to Pablo who said the instructions have been needing to be revised concerning these fittings. Whatever the issue is or who's to blame I won't be able to pick the vehicle up till Wednesday. I have other things to worry about till then.

Chuck33079

Yeah, I wouldn't even bother with GTM for that. There's got to be somewhere local you can source fittings.

I live an hour away from VSR. I could pick up the ride if u want

MidnightBlueZ

Saw your ride last weekend when I picked up my car. Sucks to see what you gotta go through. Did they get your plumbing yet? Btw that exhaust work was very nice underneath. Made me jealous.. I need some sort of exhaust where this turbo can really breathe.

Infidel

Yes, everything is there. I ordered that exhaust before I paid for the MHI kit in early June. Silly me thought I would probably get the MHI kit BEFORE the exhaust came in. Should sound real good, unfortunately I won't find out till Wednesday.....MAYBE

As long as all the parts are in, assembled, and ready for a tune, no need to rush. This is where you want to make sure the work is done well so you don't have to come back for minor stuff. The only thing I had to get done was re-torque the oil lines. It's good to get those lines checked on your next oil change.

Well I hope you get her back soon man! DIGI is right though.. The minor stuff can be headaches :/

m3chhawk

Look at it this way... Your time from parts arrival to finished product is well ahead of schedule for something like this. Hell for a GTM product it might be Guinness Book of World Records worthy. Seriously check into that..

It was December 9th when I called Sam to make the change to the 1.5 SC, so about 5 1/2 months. I've heard of others who waited much longer, I guess I'm lucky in that respect. But I will reserve judgement until I get home from Tampa with out a rod shooting through the hood or something similar.

There could be one Z in a lot of 1000 that is a turd and I will unknowingly point at it and say 'That's the one I want'. It's not just with cars....it seems like my whole life.

elperuano

Just imagine how happy n satisfied you would have been if GTM was professional about it and you received everything in a decent time. Its ashame that you're robbed of half ur joy because everything "finally" (even tho in ur case its still not ready) ready.

Good luck buddy! At least you'll be boosted! Depending which way you drive back I'd love to see the best in person!

Infidel

One of the many things that has me pissed is that the cool air is almost gone. Originally the MHI kit was suppossed to be out be late summer and I'd have all winter (FL winters are weak) to rip around in the cool air. It's summer now...I feel robbed.

Chuck33079

Think about it this way- even in summer, it'll be much, much faster than it was when it was NA. So you'll get to play with it that way all summer. Then, when it cools down in the fall, it'll get even faster.
