I am waiting for a phone call back from the vendor with how many they have available. Online they claim more then 10 so I am hoping it is true. Vendor is also willing to drop ship. So the plan is to place an order tomorrow morning and have them start to be drop shipped out to customers.

Now I need to hurry up and get all the exhaust hanger brackets finished.

I say sort of because my cats have taken a liking to eating some of them. I think the dill in cilantro are the cats favorites.

I have taken apart the turbo and measured everything in it. It matches one that I had at my house. It looks as balanced as any of the other ones I have had.

for anyone doing a DIY intercooler kit I found this thread handy. Im planning to keep my AC and my car doesnt have PS and this "reroute" for the lower radiator hose will open up a lot of room for hot side piping

Doesn't UPS require 2 inches of packing / padding between contents and carton or they will deny damage claims?

Not that I know of. When they lost my last box they did not mention anything about that when I went through the claim process. I guess I will get to what when it actually happens.

Just got word back from the vendor. They have a good number of them in stock. I will be purchasing everyone they have. It is enough to cover all the group buy and give me a few extra I think.

I am pretty sure I way over spec'ed the boxes when I had to box company originally design them. I told them they would be for double the weight that is really going in them and that UPS/Fedex would be throwing them against the wall multiple times.

If Lars gets all of this shipped soon I'll need another reason to pick on him.

I'm watching.
