Just got the motor back from the machine shop. Got the turbo kit from wired Ricky and was not happy with that, it was damaged, took WAY to long to get it, and he or ken whoever shipped it said they were gonna do one thing and didn't. Maifold still isn't here. so far my experience with wsl and phenoix turbo are














And the part that i was not happy with when i pulled it out of the box after waiting a month and a half for

bring the intercooler to a muffler shop. they can put it in their swag expander and get it back to round again prob do it for free or like 10 bucks.

Nice looking motor, clean as hell. Sucks about the intercooler and manifold, what do they say when you call them?

I think that i will take it to a muffler shop, thanks for the idea, but there is still damage that i didn't need.

On the bottom of the core you can see 2 dents.

Yeah mine had a little dent and some bending on the inlet side of the IC too. Probably about half as bad as yours. UPS kinda abused my boxes I bent the inlet side back out with pliers and put the dented edge of the IC facing the engine hehe. No functional damage so I figured it wasn't worth filing a UPS claim over.

motor looks awesome. That sucks about the intercooler. Has anyone else had problems with wired speed? They have good prices, and i would like to order from them.

my experience hasn't started good, but ricky always has a good answer, so i can't be mad.
Still waiting to see if he actually sends me a t-shirt like he said for the huge delay.
I ordered my kit that same day you did dustin.
Im not to worried about the intercooler, just wasn't looking forward to it and i know that its from shipping cause the box was beat up too.

I agree.

Ever since Wired speed has expanded and introduced Ricky, and they're other sales people, they're service has taken a nose dive.

Back in the day, Kyle's shop was the ****...

i received my intercooler from WSL a week ago and on the top of the intercooler was scuffed up, size of my palm. But other then that its good, thank god i didnt have no other damage like dents and stuff. I didnt say nothing about it but its not really a big deal, the price is good though
