lol...sorry...i got in on the group buy for the speed-factor basic turbo kit...still have a few things im gonna need (injectors, clutch, fuel pump, safc, map sensor, intercooler) but the majority of it has been purchased...im thinking what i might do (and itll kill me if i do) is save up all the parts over winter so im not rushing to get everything...i know its a little early, but i got a couple birthdays in the family coming up, and christmas is slowly approaching, and i still have around 500$ a month in bills, and my only source of income (for now) is from delivering pizzas...i mean, it'd be sweet to say that i will have everything i need in the next month, but unless i get hit in the eye again, which im hoping not caus that hurt like hell, looks like i still got a little bit of time left

I never knew about speed-factor's group buy, darnit. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how your turbo project goes. I totally understand the money situation also. From November until March I constantly have someone's birthday, holiday, or anniversary to attend to.

i was damn lucky i found out about it...i was on RDTib, which i hardly ever go on, and saw it...there was one spot left and a couple people said they wanted on...i told tim i would not have the money for a couple weeks caus i was waiting on that check, and he said it was just - 5 people put their names on the list, you get your kit as soon as you pay...and the FMU that came with it would not work for my car so that saved me an extra 150$...so for 1388$ shipped, i got the following

* T3 Super 60 Internally Gated (oil only center)
* New Speed-Factor 304L SS Log Style Manifold
* Speed-Factor 2.5" DP
* Charge Piping (non intercooled)
* SSQV BOV
* Turbo Timer
* Boost Gauge
* Intake
* Air Filter
* Vortech FMU
* Stainless Oil Feed, Press Fit Return Line
* Hardware (i.e. couplers, bolts)

i was thinking of putting together a kit on my own so i got a manifold off Dweet, then after talking about it with some people, i realized it was a lot more than i was ready for...so i put my name on the GB list...hopefully this guy who told me he would like the manifold will, so i will have that money towards some other things.

LOL. I don't mean to be the kind of person that laughs at people's misfortunes but that's the funniest thing I've heard all day. The way you said it as part of your story made me laugh pretty hard. Sorry to hear about your eye.

Umm, congrats on the turbo though.
