Well 2 weeks isnt as bad as a 15 month deployment, but my car wasnt right up the road then. Matt Im still waiting on word from SBR. They have the turbo, just supposed to replace the wheel and cold section, then install the snape ring CORRECTLY this time. Then they ship it to the tuner and hopefully get it back within a another week or so.

An another note I will be posting my parts list for my engine and tranny build for earlier next year. People can critisize and make suggestions for that also.

hopefully it gets back within the week...and yeah I cant wait to criticize your parts list for the motor build lol...but I'm probably going to be going with the DS1 gearset once these giveout

Thanks for the support Matt. The list is up in the Cylinder and short block, section, might get moved, didnt know where to put it. it also has the price breakdown for the gearset included. Please chime in with your thoughts, I would like to hear them.

holy crap. i haven't been online in 3 weeks and i see this thread. sorry about the bad luck, hope you get everything sorted out soon.

See what you miss when you leave Mike. Im still waiting to hear back from SBR. Been almost a week since they have got the turbo.

Alrite, just an update for anyone who might still be wondering or following. Its wednesday nite, I called SBR monday to no avail, so tuesday get to work and email SBR about my situation and lack of NOT having my car for 4weeks (this saturday). Still nothing. So I email them first thing this morning also. Then decide to blow their phone up until I get an answer. Third call I get someone who is supposed to transfer me to who I have been talking to. I get hung up on instead, it happens, sometimes. Well I finally found on their website and called the guy directly. Hes like oh I have been trying to get ahold of them (about the turbo) and havent got an answer. I tell him he has until tomorrow to give me a STRAIGHT answer or come satruday Im overniting a turbo from Blouch to me. And then I will fight the battle with SBR about getting my money for my BUSTED A$$ turbo they sent me. Im not trying to bash anyone here, and its a fine line, but just want people to be careful with who they choose to deal with and mytrial and errors that I have been through.

basco · 08-06-2009, 08:28 AM

I'm willing to bet money that they sent you a SBR 20G instead of a blouch...but if you want I can personally go down there and give them shit for fun seeing as how its like 5 minutes from my house lol

newtothegame · 08-06-2009, 09:47 AM

Thats exactly what they did Matt. Im calling here in just a minute to SBR for the last time. Either they gurantee my turbo in my hands by monday morning. Or tomorrow Im over nighting one from Blouch. I need the turbo installed by tuesday for my tune or I will be trailering one of the WRXs to Kansas.

But if you want to give them shit by all means, thats fine, they lost a customer, thats for sure.

Wow what a bunch of punks. I hate it when people always try to deny it's their fault or do everything they can to avoid the problem at hand.

Josh you should of been blowing up their phone as much as possible 2 weeks ago.

If all else fails and your turbo doesn't arrive back on time. Just put the stocker back on and go with a different tuner when u get to your location. Just an idea. (might be cheaper than towing it)

turmic · 08-06-2009, 09:18 PM

Its a sad state of affairs that it had to come to this. Nevermind the fact that they lied about giving you a Blouch turbo and we all know thats not what they did. Since Blouch inspected it and said it wasn't their turbo, but they're rebuild it anyways.

newtothegame · 08-06-2009, 10:52 PM

Sometime tomorrow I will have an update as to which turbo I will be running, the SBR or the Blouch. And regardless Im on the list for getting my car tuned with something on this coming tuesday by Tim Bailey, again.

nagyhead · 08-07-2009, 06:22 AM

good luck, i'm sure you will post up the numbers when its all done.

newtothegame · 08-07-2009, 10:23 AM

Well called 3 times and left an email already to SBR, no answers. Called Blouch, cant get me a turbo in time, so guess its back to the stocker. And im VERY UPSET about this. Guess I will be (maybe, if I have the balls to try this again) getting the turbo after I get back from deployment now. Guess it gives me time to think about how big I really want to go.

basco · 08-07-2009, 10:54 AM

have you tried FP...they should be able to do it

newtothegame · 08-07-2009, 10:56 AM

I cant find their 20G though. I emailed them about it but never got an answer back from them.
