I've tried stepht at bellengineering dot net twice, once this weekend and once last weekend, with no response. I've seen her on the forums, so I'm wondering whether the address is bad or not. I want to know whether they can pre-install a WB and EGT bung in a new manifold/DP setup so I don't have to have some bumfuck muffler shop weld on my brand new turbo setup.

 

apparently you have to call these people.

 

An EGT is normally just a 1/8NPT threaded hole drilled and tapped into the manifold. You may want to wait and do that yourself when you can see where everything will lay out and be accessable.

 

or email corky at bellengineering dot net. I'm sure he will get back with you...or you can just call, like hustler recommended.

 

steph can be hit or miss on her email. call and bug and bug and bug.

I gotta say, if I worked at a miata tuning shop, I wouldn't want to be sittin around a phone or computer either.

 

Send her a PM on miata.net

 

+1, calling is the best.

 

that would explain the lack of reply to 2X e-mails thus far... sigh, now I have have to get off my lazy *** and call people? putting together a turbo isn't suppose to be this difficult.

 

hahah it's not...just a pain to make sure everything is 100%

 

I'll call them sometime. I figured they may know where to weld the bungs so they're easily accessible in the car, rather than me having to install the manifold, DP, and turbo, then mark for the bungs, then UNinstall, drill, and weld. I'd much rather pay a premium to BEGI to have them do it before I even get the parts.

 

oh, fyi, i must be on the good list...

I sent steph an email at 10:45pm about some pipes and had a response within 15 minutes.

I wonder what her timecard looks like...

 

lol ^

Got an email back today. Thanks, Stephanie! I will get the photos marked up and sent back to you.

 

You've probably bought stuff from them before. I bought a second hand manifold and am looking to buy an EGR kit and studs... I'm small potatoes. Honestly, if I were her I'd put me on the back burner too and handle the folks who are forking over thousands of bucks on major parts.

The credit card should be paid off next month, then I'll re-drill my turbo and call them about doing a custom DP to fit it (goofy external WG). Trying to decide if I want to fab my intercooler pipes first or not.

 

I've spent a little (intercooler) but this is over a custom pipe worth like 50 bucks.
