Install kit from HELL!!!!!!

[lownslow2002]

Okay so I ordered a turbo from the speed factor and I figure seems like an easy install not going to be a problem have done mechanic work for 5 years or so. Wow was I ever wrong. I ordered the turbo and it got there right on time, the install kit came a week later. -_- So I finally get it all there and I look at the turbo and the install kit and something is missing, Oh I see what it is they didnt THREAD THE TURBO and there is no flange in the install kit to install the oil feed line. So I call and they are very nice and send me one next day air, very good service no complaints on that. I get the part attach it to the turbo and were off. I proceed to put the turbo on and begin to hook up the oil feed line. !@$#!$#! The flange they send me is too tall now for the line to clear the manifold so I begin to "machine" the flange thinner so that I can get it on the car. Finally an hour later I get the feed line in. I begin to put on the drain line now. @#$!%@% The stupid thing is an inch and a half too long. Well by now im pretty angry so I rip the stupid drain line apart mind you it is braided steel and i proceed to cut an inch and a half off of it. Finally I get it to fit and it is still kinked because there is a strait fitting off of the turbo where there should be a 45 degree fitting but by this time I dont really care so I shove it on and then I have to go to class. This install took me 2 days because of this "BEST INSTALL KIT EVER" and I would reccomend to anyone that if you are going to spend $125 buy braided steel lines from summit and connectors build it yourself and enjoy the install instead of cussing at your car for days on end.

I agree with this my oil return line was about half an inch too short and you can imagine how frustrating that is as you can get the botl so damn close you can feel it but you just can't quite get it in there far enough. Also, I didn't get an oil supply flange for the line to the turbo but figured it really didn't matter as the tubo is tapped for the line to screw in. Is this a bad idea, should I make them send me a flange?
