June 29, 2012 is THE day when the compound turbo kit will be personally delivered and installed by Baldturbofreak (BTF)!
Tuning will be performed by BTF as well.

He's coming down here in MA/RI from Honeoye NY.

Wait, I though Elff was in Romania?

Hello all! Just picked up an 07 Deep GXP - 11,105 miles new!

Bone stock, for now! Looking forward to meets, fun, learning and laughing.

Anybody in San Diego?

ihawk95 · « **Reply #285 on:** June 08, 2012, 02:04:55 PM »

I am trying so hard not to bust out laughing at work right now!!!

SKY888 · « **Reply #286 on:** June 28, 2012, 06:45:19 PM »

already dropped off all of my remaining aftermarket parts at the shop/garage of Joshmass yesterday.
I'll drop off another car load of stuff tomorrow morning.

LIPSTICK will be towed from SMG to the shop of Joshmass.

BTF will be arriving after lunch and the install begins.

Hopefully, we can start the engine this Sunday........

I'll post photos of the install process.........

Finally!!!

888,

A round of drinks on me if you can get your car to MMM9 [size=4pt] (and I get to drive it)[/size]

elff · « **Reply #290 on:** June 28, 2012, 10:56:18 PM »

You better pinch yourself just to make sure this isn't a twisted dream.

Good luck, take lots of pics.

GJ you might want to fix the fine print in your post.

SKY888 · « **Reply #292 on:** June 28, 2012, 11:29:04 PM »

yeah, its kinda surreal lol

its been a long wait. Lots of issues from different vendors actually.
That's the problem I guess, if different shops have different stuff of your build.

I really suggest ONLY having one shop do a build.......so you can blame only one....and not several.

BTF is grabbing a rental at 10am from the area of Rochester NY. It's about 6 hour drive......so we'll probably won't start the process til 5pm est.

elff · « **Reply #293 on:** June 29, 2012, 09:29:09 AM »

If you could have scripted it, Could SMG do everything but the final build from BTF?

that's somewhat happened. SMG installed the engine back....and the drive train.

BTF installing the compound kit.

But with my build....I had BATES do my block.....SMG did the head work..........WERKS did the intake manifold.....etc..etc.

SKY888 · « **Reply #295 on:** June 29, 2012, 01:25:23 PM »

LIPSTICK was towed out from SMG this morning.

LIPSTICK was delivered at joshmass aka project scarab's BRAND SPANKING NEW SHOP.... by noon.

we'll just wait a couple more hours before BTF arrives.....

elff · « **Reply #296 on:** June 29, 2012, 01:37:46 PM »

Could SMG do the Block or would they ship that out to bates?

Im looking for options down the road. Nothing immediate though. If I do this, I would like to drop the Sky off the beginning of November and be guaranteed it would be done by March 1.

SKY888 · « **Reply #297 on:** June 29, 2012, 01:40:49 PM »

SMG will have a local machine shop do the sleeving.

Sly Bob · « **Reply #298 on:** June 29, 2012, 02:52:39 PM »

Coming along nicely Antonio, looking forward to the final reveal and dyno results. Not as much as you are though I would imagine.

IS IT DONE YET?
