hey, im not talking crap just letting people know how things went down
-VIP Garage in sterling va-

Ok, so i decided to get a turbo upgrade on my 91 240/ sr20. I decided to go with a top mount 50 trim/ i also decided to get side feed injectors/ radiator/ custom manifold/ piping/ lines, fitting ect with turbo kit. After 3 weeks of paying for the parts , they still havent shown up after being told that they would be here with in the week, now i know how the system works, sometimes stuff aint shipped out or not played by either side, w/e right, well after told most of the parts were in( 4th week now).
i decided to ask to see if i could come and pick up most of the parts to install, what happens, they dont have them available for me to pick up. ok so now there lieing to me about parts not being available, and not there when they said it was. So i decided at the last minute to get a gt3076r turbo instead, my fault for that yes.The owner tells me that he will try his best and exchange it, which he did VERY NICE. So its been like a month and some change now for parts that are instock everywhere/ Koyo/ARP/Precision/ ect.


Since they were gonna do the work i was wondering when i could drop the car off- he finally calls me after 6 weeks of waiting. I drop the car off and he tells me about a week( 3 days to install the parts-2 to weld the parts) OK! very excited yea so i was getting the turbo put on, manifold, lines, hoses, radiator, Z32 MAFS,intake, hot side intercooler, and head studs. So my car is there for a week, i call friday to see whats up, not being annoying and calling everyday. So on friday he says the turbo never came in!!!!!! im pissed but don't take it out on him, next day he says it came in so i came by since it was my day off and wanted to see it, DAY DIDNT HAVE IT AND MY CAR ONLY HAD THE RADIATOR PUT IN, w/e . so its been like 3 in a half weeks more since my car has been there, why, cuz there welder machine stopped working. parts weren't in and they had other cars.


The injectors i got wind up bing crap and i had to get top feed with a new fuel rail!So finally every things in, they install it and everything. they call me the morning i was gonna come pick it up and tell me( we were torquing down your cams and one cracked!) u serious lol_ so no one had stock exhaust cams for sr20 laying around, so i had to dish out money to buy new ones? not so bad but i wasn't planing on doing that right now lol.
[/align]So every things in and done, Im there and it wont start_ there excuse was the 680 injectors were to big and throwing to much fuel, wich sometimes is true. SO i get it toed out of there to my buds at Ptuning, great guys , great friends. Great tuners ( in my eyes atleast) so my car gets there and they start tuning, i was tuning to 19-20 psi, for my high setting and 14-16 for my low untill i get my head built. So they frist tried to get the car running since i told them VIP told me the it was to rich to start, well the problem was my z32 MAFS was wired wrong, how do you get that crap wrong idk so they fix that and get the car started, it sounded like i had an open header, why cuz the manifold was missing 2 screws!. So once thats fixed they do like 2 pulls just to test the stuff out, he turns the car off and i hear dripping, i look under my car THERES OIL ALL OVER THE PLACE when VIP changed my oil, they didn't tighten the oil pan bolt and all my oil went all over the dyno.


So a whole day of they great guys at Ptuning cleaned everything up , my car was back on the dyno, now its leaking coolant from the custom lines VIP made for me, once again, off the dyno. and as it was on the dyno i noticed my exhaust was hitting my diff. and steering rack annnnd the dump tube was hitting my chassis. now thats all fixed, my cars making 342 on 14 psi, i have some kind of clicking noise, rod knock or trans idk , symptoms are to easily together. yet, but besides the noise my car is great thanks to PTUNING IN MANASSAS VA. VIPs work looked great but was crap, oh yea my fuel rail was leaking to lol.Dont get me wrong, the guys there treated me great, and didn't give me any crap what so ever, just happen to be a little messed up situation


Just wanted to share that, all my friends told me this would happen to and they were right, But this is just my experience.
