    I agree with him as well but c the diff i c here is ok i paid a lot for the kit not only because mostly everything else came perfect with the kit but also becuz of RRM's customer service tho dont get me wrong im mad as can b becuz ive been without my car for 2 weeks and that is my daily driver but like i said before if they send me rite pipe and the turbo works perfectly after that then i have no complains except that it took way to long to install lol

    Yep. Which is why most of their customers are on the west coast. Their rep is mostly based on ppl that live in CALI around the corner from them. But that won't stop me from buying there products. They good ppl. Their products are great (assuming you get the right/whole thing the first time). Good ppl, good intentions, shit happens. In there case quite a bit. They are a small business in the big business world. They should be set up properly by now but things don't always work out the way you want. I assume they are busy a lot of the time and they want to hire good ppl but it's a trust matter. I don't want to hire the best guy out there and not trust him. I'd rather hire the idiot and trust him 100% and screw up a few things and be mad with him than to hire that guy that will sell all my secrets to other vendors and they offer them for cheaper. You'd be outta business quick. It has been I guess a decade since they've been around. Im not against them but I'm not for messup's either. Shit happens. But with 4.3k I would get it right the first time. Mouse should have been done buy now if he got it all the first time. I'm still standing neutal with them until I see more screw-ups.

    And mouse...you may want to tighten everything now....some stuff just doesn't seem to be sitting well looking as some pics....but it mostly the intake area....so that may be fixed when you get the rest of it. And did the downpipe come with the kit? and retro fit your front bumper back on. It doesnt look like it will fit right with that i/c.

    Yea Jogen one thing that was the worst of this whole process was the time diff between Mia and Cali and also how we can only communicate with pictures which is hard for them 2 c the problems but as far as tightening everything i did that they day after the intake pipe didnt come in right the second time so its way better now i just took those pics the day before and the I/C fit perfectly with the bumper you can see in the pic i took and we didnt even fully put it on and it fit niceee and yea kit came with downpipe

    One quick question. What did you do with your original downpipe? I need one and would like to buy yours. Only issue I would have is what is the diameter of the piping. I was looking for 2.25". I don't know the diameter of mine since mine was welded in february to fix a leak.

    did you plug your second o2 sensor in? If not...do it. Then lets see if it runs rich. And then try a boost leak test. You shouldn't be running rich at all. Did you let RRM now about it? That's a reason why I hate the 5th injector setup.
