Just to give an idea on how orders should be handled: I ordered a kenne bell BAS on friday. I live in Ohio, and kenne bell's facility is in California. No special overnight shipping, the part arrived yesterday.

When you're raping a c6 from a 50 roll all will be forgotten.

spnkr21 03-30-2011 08:53 AM

Waiting for parts blows.

SilverDemon 03-30-2011 09:50 AM

Not so much when orders are processed correctly and in a timely manner. ATP has the biggest bunch of brainless fuckheads working for them I have seen in a long time.

One of the sales reps takes a leave of absence......ATP does not let anyone know that she will no longer be taking care of dealer orders (in this case SU was the dealer). So, purchase orders sent to her e-mail for 2 weeks without being processed. It wasn't until people started asking what was going on that the truth finally came out . Once Mark figured out what was going on he resent the orders to a different salseman.....but then get this, the ass monkey at ATP sent half my order to my house, and the other half went to streetunit....WTF!! So, yeah, I'm a little aggrivated here....

Which steed mani did you order? Cause the twin scroll is just now being prototyped... But Leen typically moves pretty damn fast from a development perspective.

SilverDemon 03-30-2011 10:03 AM

single scroll, t3, tilted flange...

06Speed6 03-30-2011 10:26 AM

Yeah me and Mark has some problems with AWR but he got it straightened out really quickly. Now days I would almost rather go through Mark than straight through the mfg because he stays on top of things better than I do.

djuosnteisn 03-30-2011 10:33 AM

^^^^ wait...... are you saying the middle man actually serves a purpose???


Hahaha, seriously though, what mark does is worth it.

Then the bullshit with dealing with ATP on the turbo....Them fucksticks need a new kindergarden teacher to help them manage simple orders....The order went through Street Unit, Mark has stepped up and has bent over backwards to make things right with me, even though ATP is fucking him on the backside...

I thought having a hobby was meant to be fun...not a fight everytime an order is placed.

I ordered my exhaust manifold from Leen on March 9th. I have yet to receive it...

UPDATE: Leen just got back to me a few minutes ago. The manifold should be shipping this afternoon. Maybe yours will be going out as well?

Just because he said it was shipped, does not mean it will be there anytime soon.... Mine was supposed to have been shipped on the 17th....I have a tracking number, but a tracking number to what? It has not moved since the 20th.....

amoosenamedhank 03-30-2011 02:42 PM

What did the freight company say about it? If a tracking number exists.... some sort of shipping transaction has occurred. So he sent something somewhere... I would bark up their tree first.

SilverDemon 03-30-2011 03:05 PM

I have made Leen aware of the length of time, and this should be his responsibility to check into the delay...not the customer....

amoosenamedhank 03-30-2011 03:30 PM

Oh... I'm not trying to stick up for anyone here. Your point isn't lost on me, I'm just saying ...If it were me, I would just want to know, and I don't care to wait around for others if I can do it myself.

superskaterxes 03-30-2011 05:26 PM

WTF! gerry and i ordered our BAS's on the 22nd and they JUST shipped today. where did you get yours from?

SilverDemon 03-30-2011 05:32 PM

Kenne Bell Boost-A-Spark

Called them directly...

qtrmile beast 03-30-2011 05:52 PM

What turbo did you get?? if you get tired of waiting i have a turbo place you can get a turbo from.

SilverDemon 03-30-2011 06:01 PM

Thanks Charles.....It is supposed to be on its way...Mark gave me the tracking number to his shop..then he said he would overnight it to my place, so, hoping this weekend it will be here..

you can print labels with tracking without shipping anything.

nice what ar turbine did you go with?

SilverDemon 03-31-2011 03:12 AM

.63 A/R w/3" v band ....With the way these ass jockeys operate I am sure that something is going to be fucked up when I receive it....it will either be dropped and smashed...or it will be the wrong turbo all together...hahahaha

Yes you can, but the driver has to scan them to activate them in their system. So if the shipment is located, they've been scanned.

SilverDemon 03-31-2011 09:14 AM

Update on the manifold...Leen found it sitting in San Fancisco....held up by customs I'm sure. Or, some faggot out there is making love to it before I get a chance to....hahaha....Thanks Leen for getting back with me!!!

Don't worry about that. I actually put my turbo on my truck tool box and then took off. It smashed on the ground and bent some bolts on it. Still works fine lol

qtrmile beast 03-31-2011 11:12 AM

so if i may ask what was your out of pocket for the 35r..... got my 3582 w/ .82ar turbine and vband for about 1399 ball bearing

SilverDemon 03-31-2011 12:11 PM

Lets just say Mark had the hook up......although that is a good price, I got it for just a tad cheaper.

Plumbing is done.... Decided to go with all AN fittings and stainless braided hoses. It took me while to find the correct fitting to adapt the M12x1.5 port on the block for the oil feed line, but Jegs was able to come through at the last moment (I was ready to fab my own). I modified the EGR to accept the 1/8" npt to -4 an fitting, and silver soldered a fitting onto the coolant hard line. Everything that I used in this part of the install can be purchased off the shelf. Enjoy the pics!!! :D

spnkr21 04-03-2011 10:43 AM

Same oil return setup I have :)

NJSPEED3 04-03-2011 10:55 AM

That's very clean Scott! So the coolant line off the hard pipe, you found a fitting that fit into the pipe's nipple and silver brazed it?

SilverDemon 04-03-2011 11:52 AM

The fitting on the hard pipe slips over the existing nipple after the barb was cut off. Drilling out the fitting to slip over the stub was the only machine work involved (this can be done with a drill and a vise), and then braze it in place.

spnkr21 04-03-2011 12:28 PM

Do I have my coolant lines backwards? I have mine the opposite as you.

SilverDemon 04-03-2011 01:19 PM

Maybe I have mine backwards hahah!! ... I am not sure that it matters..

cld12pk2go 04-03-2011 02:23 PM

Yeah, it really shouldn't matter...

BrianZX10R 04-04-2011 05:00 PM

SilverDemom Those pics are so beautiful.

aaronc7 04-04-2011 05:02 PM

pimp setup...cant wait to see this thing all done.

steedspeed 04-05-2011 06:24 AM
