OT: How To Package a Turbo Kit to Hawaii
As you guys know I just sold my kit, etc. I was bored so I decided to take pics of the steps with the packaging.
Enjoy - Fred
Get a Box from Uhaul
Tape Up the bottom
Line the bottom with nice thick formula insulation from Home Depot
I put the turbo in bubble wrap and in a separate box with the peanuts
Added the manifold
Added the downpipe adapter and lots more peanuts
Added the downpipe and added more support so it wont go through the box
Added more peanuts and Greddy Instructions
Added another piece on top, so its a nice fit
Tape it up and your done!

had to be atleast 150-200$ for one box</TD></TR></TABLE>
nah, but im in NY and some locations in HI only have Next day Air, but I called Fed Ex and they actually have grond service to this address. So with insurance and all that I think (from there online quote) its coming out to be $55.00-60.00 Remember Greddy pieces are cast, so they have weight, and that's why I took my time making sure nothing breaks cause I know those guys have no respect for other peoples property.
I wonder if Aaron saw the post yet?

Ok, I'm on the big isle too. Yea Fedex shipping is great because they allow their ground shipping option to here unlike UPS.

I've actually gotten stuff faster than that via ground shipping with FedEx. Very fast service. The only thing that sucks is their tracking service. I dunno if it's just my stuff, but most times it's not really updated. At least the estimated date of delivery is usually right on.
